For your growing business, so does the urgency to retire that old iron and invest in a quality calendar heat press machine. Heat press machines use heat and pressure to imprint a design onto a substrate. A heat press can apply graphics on a variety of different materials like fabric, leather, ceramic, etc. The design is first printed on specialized heat transfer paper using a solvent ink. This ink is designed to transfer from the paper to the item when pressed with heat. Read on for five reasons why a heat press is better than your iron.
Sublistar roller heat press applies at a much faster rate than other methods of shirt printing. This is due to fewer steps, preparations, and less of a learning curve. As you get more familiar with your heat-press, the digital timer will become your best friend. The timer is set depending on the type of fabric being used and will beep when the heat transfer is complete. While the heat press is working it’s magic you have time to set up the next shirt. Thus making the printing process faster and more efficient.
As we can see that one of the most important variables when applying transfers to fabric is pressure. With that old iron, the level of pressure applied can be hard to measure. This becomes problematic when the manufacturer suggests a certain number of pressure. Even worse, if you push too hard or for too long your garment might scorch. After all, iron wasn’t made for doing heat transfers. The perfect pressure can mean the difference between a shirt that has peeling vinyl letters after five months and a smoothly adhered shirt that lasts years.

Calender heat transfer is the most cost-effective garment decoration method for small quantity orders. The unit cost per garment is unmatched in the printing industry. This allows customers to order just a few items here and there without the cost ballooning.
When you have numerous orders, pressing the images in different stages can be a hassle. The size of your iron plate is only 5×3 inches — and that’s if you purchased a wide end model! It might work pressing the transfer on in stages, but it definitely is not time efficient or ideal.
Many products require a specific temperature to press on, like cotton, polyester, spandex, and blended fabric. The dial on irons clicks between linen, cotton, wool, silk, etc. It doesn’t have the option to select a specific temperature, therefore you never really have an exact idea of how your iron is getting. Not knowing the exact temperature may result in melting and scorching, or areas not getting hot enough to properly adhere to the ink.
With a sublimation calender heat press, the temperature can be manually set. This ensures that temperature is always spot on for all your garments, no matter the fabric. Just set the temperature and timer and go!

It’s good to be optimistic, we have to tell you that the process is a bit complex, needing careful planning if the results are to be great. The careful planning we’re talking about here especially concerns the time and temperature of the heat press. For the transfer to look good, the temperature needs to be set correctly, and the amount of pressure applied needs to be right.
Apart from that, you need to know whether to remove the carrier paper hot or cold. Deciding on all these factors can be a bit overwhelming particularly when you want the results to be faultless. But, with this handy heat press temperature setting guide, you don’t need to worry at all. We’re going to look at the correct heat and temperature when applying a heat press to different materials as follow:

Heat transfer printing machine is a new technology developed, its development prospects are very broad, heat transfer machine t shirt also caused a lot of people love, heat transfer machine t shirt has its unique printing mode and characteristics, feel soft and comfortable, so the development of heat transfer machine is a great potential.
Below we will know how to solve the problem of heat transfer machine:
1. Heat transfer machine stamping or hot stamping image is not sticky, not firm: may be light pressure or low temperature, need to increase the pressure or temperature or longer time;
2. Whether the hot stamping materials of the heat transfer machine are consistent with the hot stamping objects, and the hot stamping consumables corresponding to clothes of different materials are different, so the corresponding hot stamping materials should be selected for heat transfer, which are dull and vague after hot stamping:
3. Heat transfer machine hot stamping temperature is too high, pressure is too large, need to reduce the temperature, reduce the pressure, can also shorten the hot stamping time;
4. T-shirts and cotton fabrics with different heat transfer materials, just transfer the T-shirt will have a little hard or soft feeling, hard t-shirts will become soft after washing.Newly processed t-shirts cannot be washed for 24 hours, turning the garment inside out;
5. Do not rub the surface of the T-shirt design with your hands (the surface material of the design will not adhere to dirt);Do not use detergent containing bleach wash, with 40 ° C under warm water or cold water wash, do not use washing machine, washing over don’t want to use a dryer to dry, dry naturally, do not twist clothes, don’t put a T-shirt on the sun exposure, if the wrinkles in clothes need, after air temperature can be used in steam ironing (not hot iron containing elastic fiber, so as not to damage the organizational structure of the elastic fibers, elastic clothing effect), do not iron directly on design, after ironing, don’t put clothes into a small space, can use hanger suspension or split, to keep the clothes flat shape.

industrial heat press
Roll-to-roll rotary sublimation heat press this type of rotary press is used to transfer your design to a roll of fabric. Items required to use a roll-to-roll rotary press include pre-printed transfer paper, tissue and fabric. The pre-printed transfer paper has a slight tack and is used to hold the fabric in place. The thin paper keeps sublimation ink from entering the belt around the drum.

The fabric you use will always consist of polyester, polyester blend or some other polyester coated substrate. A roll-to-roll spinning machine usually has three expansions and three rewinds. The three items listed above are loaded onto the unwinding bar of the rotary press. They gather together and pass through a press, wrapping around a heated drum. This part of the process is called “residence time”, which is where the sublimation process takes place. The rewinding rod then rolls up the now printed fabric, used dye heat transfer paper and used tissue.
