The highly efficient Hercules multicolor graphics system is a multicolor press that prints and dries up to eight colors completely in sequence without inter-color substrate handling. Operators can remove a fully printed and cured multicolored piece, ready for packaging.

Outside-load print heads offer highly accessible micro-registration adjustments and unobstructed screen visibility for check or correcting screen position during setup and production. Ink is easily added while the press operates.

Made in America, the Hercules is the ideal system for multicolor printing on paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, or any other graphic surface currently being printed on by standard, single-color flatbeds.

Features

Electro mechanical indexer drive
Provides smooth, station-to-station indexing on every cycle: durable design ensures low maintenance for extended production.

Setup/Production Modes
Switch allows selectable table mode for indexing control to be transferred to the print heads for easier setup prior to production.

Quantum UV Curing Modules
Proven UV curing units provide quick, cool cure even on the most heat-sensitive substrates. Mounted between each print head to eliminate inter-color handling of stock. Units switch to standby mode (150 WPI) during each print stroke to reduce energy consumption and heat build-up.

Remote Diagnostics
A phone-modem connection provides a direct link between the printer's on-board microprocessor and the central A.W.T. diagnostics computer. The instant service feature reduces downtime by up to 80% and minimizes the need for expensive on-site service calls.
