“Automatic screen-printing presses run at a specific, comparable throughput figure (pieces or impressions per hour) the way DTG printers publish theirs.”

M&R's own Gauntlet 4 product page — the manufacturer's primary spec source for its flagship automatic press — describes throughput only qualitatively as "high production speed" and offers a "Real-time production speed monitor" for the operator to measure, never publishing a pieces- or impressions-per-hour figure. DTG vendors by contrast do publish exactly such numbers: Kornit states "Generating up to 400 impressions per hour" for the Apollo, and Brother publishes "up to 42 dark garments or 57 light garments per hour". The asymmetry contradicts the claim: the screen-printing side ships a measurement tool instead of a rated number, because output depends on operator, ink, and job setup rather than a fixed machine rate.
