Calender heat press allows the sublimation ink to permeate the fabric appropriately. It plays a vital role in the sublimation printing because this process requires the use of a heat transfer machine or calender to execute the sublimation process.
Sublimation is a technology that transfers the desired image on fabrics. The heat press machine is the last executant of this technology that makes use of the heat and pressure-which a piece of equipment creates. And with a lot of heat and pressure, the calender imprints our graphic design onto the fabrics to make sure that the dye sublimation ink is released from the material and the ink is strongly affixed to the textile.
The speed of heat transfer calender is dictated by the size of the drum and consistency of the heating element. The larger the drum diameter, the faster production speeds can be achieved.
A high quality heat press will help us run high-volume production simultaneously. And a good machine can work for many years and continue operating in line with the increased production capacity.
However, if the heating temperature fluctuates too much or the correct pressure value is not maintained, you can get low quality or inconsistent results. As a result, the color of some areas seems light, while some areas result in darker colors. Therefore, you need to invest in a high quality heat press, or, you will end up with higher costs and waste of time.
(Note: Before placing your garment on a heat press machine for printing, always make a point of stretching it. This helps prevent your prints from cracking.)
