Print carriage
The squeegee and floodbar ride one carriage on polished steel guide rods. It’s the same one-operator stroke as AWT’s Accu-Glide and Seri-Glide, the one-man squeegee printers for graphics and glass.
- 02
Vacuum bed
The ink goes down on a perforated vacuum bed. AWT builds standard and custom vacuum tables to your size, airflow and setup, and resurfaces and levels worn beds to original tolerances when it rebuilds a press.
- 03
Pneumatic controls
Toggles, a gauge and the AWT badge sit on the operator’s side, as on AWT’s own presses. Most AWT presses also carry a Remote Diagnostics connection, so AWT technicians can troubleshoot them online.
We design and build screen printing equipment in the USA: presses, dryers, exposure units, screen cleaners, racks and custom vacuum tables. For more than 50 years, shops from small independent printers to high-volume industrial plants have run on it.

Service and parts
A nationwide network of factory-trained technicians handles on-site support, and GPI supplies replacement parts for AWT, American M&M and many other press brands.

Every AWT press, dryer and rack is built in the USA, with the features other makers sell as extras built in from the start.
