Heat press calender is a large machine which is essential during the process of sublimation printing. It is used along with large printers that imprint designs or images on garments, such as polyester, polyamides. Today’s post will introduce what kind of role does heat press machine play for sublimation printing.
Sublimation is a technology that transfers the desired image on fabrics. The heat transfer calender is the last executant of this process which makes use of the heat and pressure which a piece of equipment creates. And with a lot of heat and pressure, the calender imprints your 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.
If you are going to start your business of a high-quality sublimation printing , you will need to purchase a heat press which helps you run high-volume production simultaneously. A good heat press can work for many years and continue operating in line with the increased production capacity.
Heat press calender plays a vital role by allowing the sublimation ink to permeate the fabric appropriately. 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, please make a point of stretching it. This helps prevent your prints from cracking.)
