All the specifications are on the literature sheet which you can get at www.mrprint.com. The side clamps have a full metal bar so holding any type of screen is not an issue. The bar is present with or without air clamps.

I went and got some pics for you today and I got the diameter of our 6/4.  It is 9'6" with the auto pallets out almost as far as you would put them.  If you brought them all the way out our press would be about 10' in diameter.  It's a decent size press, it's a fair amount bigger than our vastex was but I don't give a damn about diameter, luckily.  Unfortunately many shops aren't as fortunate as I am and the diameter of a press really matters.  I'll get those pics up in a new thread as soon as I upload them to photobucket.  Give me an hour or so.

Alan your press was equipped for automatic screens. For small shops that use manual frames like 20X24 we make shorter arms and equipp the press with 15x16 rubber coated aluminum pallets. Drops the diameter by about 2 feet. Just a FYI

The Sidewinder as well as the Chameleon can both be retrofitted with side clamps even if the machine was originally ordered with back clamps. The reason for the back clamps at shows at least in our case is to show the press in its smallest format to the first time buyer. If we show side clamps and longer pallet arms for 23X31 frames the small printer just walks on by thinking our press is too big for them. I assure you our manual presses hold Newman frames as well as anyone's auto!

Surely a great manual and think M&R is selling itself short calling it a "entry level". I run all different frames on our's from the 20x24 and 23 x 31 statics, 20 x 24 and 23 x 31 Newman's.
