With the development of the digital sublimation printing business, more and more customer change their flatbed heat press machine to the roller calender heat press, because this machine not only can save their time also can help save much money. As a manufacture, today we will share you the tips that how to extend service life of your machine.
roll drum heat press
First, remember to keep your roll to roll transfer machine clean, this is basic, and also important. Check every part of the machine regularly to make sure they can work normally. Each time before you start operating, remember the machine must be refueling according to the rules.
Second, the roller heat press machine on the gas source processor, should close the gas 2 times a day; aerosol oil, adjusted to 4-5 drops per minute, and in the refueling to gas. Joint head: drops of butter (a week / time, 10-20g), oil (1-2 drops, 3 days / times). Be careful when pressing the emergency stop button. Often use this button is harmful for the chain, towline and the belt.

Third, sometimes the optical axis will drop oil twice a week. The best method to avoid this situation is using the good quality media. When cleaning of the table glue, we should avoid table adhesive to the end of the wheel. If you find that the end of the wheel sticky plastic, dry wipe it, or it will influence the heat transfer printing result.
All efforts will be rewarded. As long as you do the maintenance carefully, your heat press machine will have a longer service life. We do heat press machine business for about 8 year, we have different size and colour machine, if have any interest, pls feel free to contact me!
Before you transfer your patterns onto the fabric with large quantity, you should better have a test with your sublimation paper and the heat press machine,So that you can make sure the temperature and time of the machine is the best for your pattern. patterns transferred with the best effect
digital sublimation printing
Before you do the heat transfer printing, make sure the sublimation paper with patterns is dry ncase of the ghosting on your fabric. Before the transfer, blow your fabric or textile, remove the fabric and transfer paper scraps, cilia and other attachments, so that these debris caught in paper and fabric caused by printing defects.
The ghost is often due to the pressure plate too fast separation, the upper pressure plate adsorption of ink jet sublimation transfer paper, then adjust the throttle to the plate heat transfer machine cylinder (or cylinder) to slow down the speed, to avoid Transfer of paper was sucked after the fall caused by the second sublimation transfer and ghosting. To avoid ghosting can also be dipped in the four corners of the thermal transfer paper adhesion of water transfer fabric.

As the floor of the cushion material in the absorption of ink after the accumulation of moisture will lead to excessive water vapor when the transfer, so that the pattern on the transfer cloth color fades, local fog water, In the transfer before and during the transfer process to always empty a few times, the moisture on the cotton pad on the vapor evaporation, if the conditions can be replaced in time dry pad material to avoid this situation.
We supplier many kinds Sublimation Material like sublimation fabric printing machine, sublimation printer also the sublimation paper , any need, pls feel free to let me know, we will waiting for you!
As a supplier of roller heat press machine, we find that there are some common problems in using this machine according to our customers’ feedback.Now we will list some of them, wish it can help you.
1. Not using the right sublimation paper
For sublimation paper, different factories have their own standards, even you tell them the same specifications you want, they may give you different products. Besides, sublimation paper can be divided into low weight transfer paper and heavy weight sublimation paper, or fast dry sublimation paper and sticky sublimation paper, they are produc
ed for different applications. If you are not clear about the sublimation paper you want, you are easy to buy the wrong one.
Always make sure to use the right tools for the job.If you intend to work on a particular t-shirt, check if you have the right heat press machine for the job, follow the right process, and most importantly- use the correct heat transfer paper.
2. Not using the correct paper in the correct way
Some people can’t produce the best quality prints even they have the correct sublimation paper. This is because they print in an incorrect way.
First, take note of all the sides of your paper and always remember to mirror your design before you transfer it to the paper.
Next, you need to make sure that the entire design will appear on your transfer paper when you print it.
But how to achieve them? It is easy, just make a test.
3. Not using the heat press machine correctly
After transferring the images to your sublimation paper, take a quick look at your heat transfer machine to ensure it’s ready for the task. Ensure there are no dust or particles that are likely to distract the transfer process. The paper must be positioned correctly.
You can see that most of problems are not big, as long as you pay attention to the details, then it can be easily avoid.
Compared with flat heat press machine, roller heat press machine are usually applied to the industrial printing. We usually think roller heat press machine is harder to operate than the flat heat press machine. Then, what should we pay attention when using such a large machine?
1. First, set an appropriate speed and temperature for the machine before starting. And make sure the temperature is stable when working.
2. Adjust the pressure between the blanket and drum, make sure the pressure is suitable for the paper with different weight.
3. Make sure the heat press surface, transfer paper and surface of substrate must be close, can not have gaps, otherwise it will make the transferred graphics blur.
4. Make a test before mass production to make sure whether the speed and temperature are suitable.
5. Try to clean the things immovably attached to the transfer paper and the textile, or it will influence the image’s quality after transfer printing.
6. The sublimation paper should keep dry all the time. Too much moisture will affect the paper’s quality, and it will cause many problems in sublimation printing such as the direct of the image is sideling.
7. Cut the front part of the paper and fabric into inverted v-shape, and put the middle part into the heat press machine first. It can help the whole breadth enter the heat press machine at the same time steadily.
8. The sublimation paper and textile should be separated quickly when transfer printing. If not, it will be easy to cause ghosting.
Please remember, no matter what machine you are operating, the security is always the first concern. When sublimation printing something with the roller heat press machine, keep away from the heat drum when it is working, or you will be easy to get hurt.
When you buy a good inkjet printer at home, the next step is to find a perfect heat press machine (unless you want professional factory to help you). But how to make sure you can buy the heat press machine? 
Size is the first factor. The size of the heat press machines are various on the market. You should know the size of your products, and it will be better to take the future into consideration.
Consistent heat is an important indicator to judge the quality of the heat press machine. Heat presses need to be heated to about 400 degrees fahrenheit for sublimation inks to transfer from the paper to the polymer fibers. This transfer has to be smooth and even for the process to work properly and for the image transfer to be consistent from one pressing to the next. 
Consistent pressure is another indicator to just the heat press machine quality. A quality heat press has a heavy platen that generates enough weighted-pressure
Heat pressing is not a complex job, as long as you choose the suitable heat press machine, everything can be easier.
