The system features shuttle deck printing stations which house the ink pan, meter roller, anilox roll, doctor blade, and printing cylinder on linear bearings. One of the keys to ProGlide's appeal is that the stations slide out, but not off, Faust stresses, preventing wear and tear that can result from repeated removal and replacement of the print head.

To accommodate wider press widths, the system's height has been ergonomically adjusted to eliminate the need for overhead hoists or cranes.
