Abstract
A turret style printing machine (10) includes a first tier (16) of pallet supporting members (14), a second tier (20) of printing head supporting members (18) and a third tier (24) of printing head supporting members (22). One can thus selectively move either a second tier member (18) or a third tier member (22) into alignment and registration with a first tier member (14). A uniform registration is further provided ensuring the second third tier supporting members consistently align with the first tier supporting members (14). This expansion increasing the number of stations is accomplished without necessarily increasing the required floor space or system diameter.
