What one Feature you can't do without on your press

I didn't know that self-locking micros were available... I take back my previous statement.. next press, I want that BAD!

There happens to be a MHM E Type 10 color 12 station with 2 flashes up for sale in my neck of the woods.

I've had a press that had the print head lift and it was a good feature, but with our side clamps and open area to put squeegees and fb's in I don't put as much into that feature but it's strictly due to what we have now.  Our carriage moves to the front with the push of a button and installing sq and fb's in is as easy as it can be on any press. 

A good registration system is without a doubt the best process/technique/tool but I wasn't thinking of that as a press feature.  I was thinking of the features that one press might have that another doesn't and the regi system is a separate thing in my opinion.  With that said, using film there is no better system than the MHM and CTS brings the triloc closer to the MHM with film but CTS + MHM is the ultimate in setup speed. The Sroque uses the same system in my opinion so I group it together.

it is the pin/bushing clamping system which allows for that so I would definitely call it a FEATURE!
