For the heat press machine, there are two main types of heat press for dye sublimation printing – flatbed or rotary, plus a third option; a rotary press with a flat automated feed table at the front. Today we will introduce you the detail of the flatbed heat press machine
heat press
Roller Heat press machine comprise a table onto which the substrate is positioned. A sheet of printed transfer paper is then placed on top of the substrate. The table transports the substrate and paper under a platen that is heated to a given temperature, depending on the substrate. The heated platen is brought into contact with the transfer paper under sufficient pressure to cause the dyes on the paper to sublimate and transfer to the polyester substrate underneath. On the larger more industrial machines the beds are lifted using hydraulic rams to apply the pressure.

Heat press machine with twin tables are generally regarded as a good investment. While an item is being pressed and sublimated on the first table, the operator can be positioning the next item to be printed on the second table. This avoids delays between each cycle and ensures that the press runs continuously, maximising production. If your budget is limited or you have relatively low volume production, then a single table press is an affordable, albeit significantly less productive, alternative.
Roll heat press calender are available with tables in a wide range of sizes . A press with a bed measuring 1.5/1.7 m x 1 m is a perfect starting point for most new wide format dye sub printing operations using a 44” wide printer, In general, heat presses operate faster than digital dye sub printers, so a single press can service multiple printers.

Wider tables allow the printing of larger items and also enable you to print a larger number of smaller made-up garments, panels or products simultaneously, potentially increasing production.
