As mentioned,  no easy way to do this on most m&r presses, maybe on the series 3 machines?

Anyways, presses without significant deflection probably wouldn't benefit from it as much, except for when the substrate called for it, which might be often.   It'd be nice to start the print way down at the bottom of the t and not near the collar giving the blade ample lead in and recovery.

Our old Challenger was setup this way, printing from the bottom of the shirt to the top. I never did like it, but it was an all air press so that probably had more to do with it.

I can see a javelin press printing in either direction since it has a squeegee print and flood, at least it seem they would.

My mhm etype will print in either direction. I print outside to inside. If I set it up to print inside to outside I would loose about an inch of printable screen on top and the print location would be farther in on the press. This is not a big deal but the presses already have alot of space on the top of the screen that is unusable because of print stroke. You can adjust this but then you lose some micro ajustment distance.

In a old video of the press I watched they show MHM setting up the press to print outside to inside.
