Sublistar calender heat press is an affordable, easy to use a rotary heat press for all your dye sublimation paper transfer and direct-to-fabric applications. The sublistar’s intuitive design makes for quick, easy use, maintenance, and cleaning, thus saving time on production. Solid, all-steel construction provides high-quality performance and ensures heat press is built to last.
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:
a). Matte PU Vinyl

g). Sublimation Paper- Transfer onto Polyester
About polyester, you can set a temperature of around 225 °C and set the time to just about 30 seconds. Peel the sublimation paper when warm or cold.
h). Sublimation Paper-Stretchy Materials
If the material you’re heat pressing has a lot of stretches, for instance, a swimming costume, set the temperature to around 180°C and apply the heat press for around 40 seconds. Peel the sublimation paper while cold.
i). Heat Transfer Paper for Cotton Dark
Cotton is one of the most widely-used fabric because, in fact, 75% of men’s clothing are made of 100% cotton. When applying transfers to a cotton apparel with dark color, you need to use more time as shown in these guidelines:
Temperature –165°C

How Does Heat Press Printing Works On Dye Sublimated Fabrics? Most polyester fabrics, such as many of the popular “Performance Garments”, are dyed using a sublimation process. The dye sublimation process uses high heat to permanently fuse the colorant into a polyester fabric.
Heat serves two critical functions in this dying process. First, the heat causes the pores of the polyester fabric to open up, so the material can accept the dye. And second, the heat converts the solid ink dye on a sublimation transfer paper into a gas.
Under pressure of the heat press, the gaseous dye is forced into the open pores of the polyester. As the temperature drops, the pores close up capturing the dye inside of the bonds to the substrate.
The sublimated color is very durable because the dye becomes an integral part of the fabric, rather than a colorant on the outside of the fibers of the fabric, which can bleed and fade. Sublimated fabrics can be washed again and again, without losing the vibrancy of its color.
There’s one slight catch, though. When you heat press an applique onto a sublimated garment, the high heat can release the dye in the fabric. These dyes can then migrate and discolor a heat transfer vinyl applique.
Discoloration resulting from dye migration does not occur immediately. Instead it is a gradual process, which may take as long as 72 hours to occur. For example, a white applique heat pressed onto a black sublimated garment is likely to turn gray over time.

Today, we are sharing you with several tips to ensure the quality of the roll heat transfer printing.
1.The transfer speed and the hot roller temperature should be adjusted properly. The temperature must wait for the temperature to fluctuate up and down three times after reaching the set temperature. And performe the transfer operation after the temperature is stable.
2.Depending on the weight or stiffness of the paper, fine tune the pressure between the felt and the hot roll.
3.To maintain the same degree of tension between the transfer paper and the fabric, stabilize the proper tension.
4.Before transfer printing, make a transfer sample to determine if the temperature and speed of the affected color are appropriate.
5.Before the transfer, we need to blow and defragment the printed surface of the transfer paper and the fabric to remove paper dust, cilia and other attachments.So as to avoid the print defects caused by the inclusion of these debris in the transfer paper and the fabric.
6.To ensure that the transfer paper is dry, the transfer paper with a large amount of moisture will generate a large amount of water vapor during the heat sublimation process. That will cause the transfer paper to soften and lose its stiffness, causing problems such as oblique walking and water ripple.
7.When transferring, you can cut the front of the paper and fabric into inverted V-shape to let the middle advanced. Or you can use the cardboard leading end larger than the width of the transfer paper. So that the entire surface can be smoothly and smoothly fed into the transfer machine. Avoid crushing and pulling leads to wrinkles on transfer.
8.During the transfer process, we should fast separate the paper. That will prevent the paper cloth from coming into contact with it to cause secondary sublimation transfer and ghosting.
9.Pay attention to the safety of the operation during the transfer process. Don’t be close to approach the hot roller and to avoid high temperature burns.

For a sublimation heat press manufacture, we always say that our machine are better than others, today we will share you the detail advantages we have. As we can see that the high end heat press machine temperature constant printing quality even higher machine stability and life of up to 10 years, in short, for large business users, our high heat transfer machine but has a lower operating cost.
Most core components of roller heat transfer machine is heating roller, transfer rate depends largely on the transfer time, temperature and pressure, the same transfer time and pressure, and temperature difference of one or two degrees, the transfer rate is very different. For precise temperature control, becomes the main indicator for measuring heat transfer machine, and that’s all, are mainly on the structure of the heating roller.
As shown in figure, as shown, some rollers are heating roller completely closed, the benefit of this is heat-conducting oil not added on a regular basis, but because of thermal expansion and contraction, it is impossible to make all full of heated rollers, the upper part is a vacuum, in theory, this part of the temperature be lower than other parts.
Our rotary heat press is not although the need to regularly add oil , but the heated rollers are 100% oil-filled, so that not only the entire roller surface can maintain a good temperature, available surface also increased significantly.
Our machine’s heating roller constructed two machines differ from heating roller heating method, heating wires in vacuum tubes, through infrared radiation to heat conduction oil; and our printing machinery is directly heated, so that preheating and shut down the cooling time of the machine as a whole, are greatly reduced, efficiency is higher.
