                NEW!  MHM-MMC Automatic PressMHM Logo

Hirsch International introduced the new MHM MMC Automatic Press at the Atlantic City Imprinted Sportswear Show. 
The MMC is a 4 pallet press that can be configured with two print stations and one flash or three print stations. The print heads are variable speed AC and the pallet index drive is also electric driven. The features and operation are exactly the same as the highly rated MHM S-Type. With a maximum print area of 18"x22", this compact press is only 10 feet in diameter and is perfect for the shop who has limited space and only prints from one to three colors.

How fast can you hoop a jacket?
            Mighty Hoops
The Might Hoop is a new magnetic hoop that makes hooping east and quick. There is no need to adjust the outer ring as the hoop holds the garment with magnetic force and automatically adjusts for different thicknesses. It also reduces the stress on your wrists and hands because it wants to pull itself together. Even for thick garments, like Carhartt Jackets, there is very little pressure needed to apply the hoop. Hoop burn is almost completely eliminated because of the way the hoop holds the fabrics. And the best part, they are designed to work with the HoopMaster for easy, accurate hooping every time!

Tech Talk LogoTroubleshooting Thread Breaks

Q: How do I troubleshoot thread breaks caused by burrs or scratches on the rotary hook?


A: Thread breaks are often caused by a scratch or burr on the rotary hook. This is likely the cause if you are having the problem on multiple needles on a particular head. The rotary hook doesn't have to be removed or adjusted to perform these steps. Remove the needle plate and the right side rotary hook cover. Turn the power off on the machine, the main shaft (degree wheel) can be rotated little by little from 100 to 220 degrees to have access to the outer areas of the rotary hook. Lightly rub your fingertip or fingernail along the outer edge to locate the burr. Any rough areas need to be polished smooth using very fine emery paper or sandpaper. 600 grit is recommended. If necessary, a more abrasive type may be used to polish a larger burr, however, be sure to follow that up with the very fine grit to ensure the area is smooth. Replace the cover and needle plate. Return the degree wheel to the red mark. Power on and test the machine.
