Successful heat printing calls for precise, evenly dispersed pressure used from the center of the upper platen to the garment layout on the lower platen. Because of this, STAHLS’ ® Hotronix ® warm presses have a manual adjusting knob in the middle of the top platen, not in the back; pressure used from the rear of the warmth press platen is unequal– commonly applying even more pressure at the rear of journalism than at the center, front and also sides.
In addition, the quantity and type of glue on individual heat transfer products needs different stress setups to ensure appropriate application. We aim to inform our clients on how important it is to know not just what they are using, yet likewise the stress setups. Stress is everywhere these days, and also the last thing you need is to be pushed by consumers due to the fact that designs are diminishing their garments.
Exactly how do I know if my designs are diminishing as a result of press?
A garment with seams, pockets, zippers, V-necks, etc, need warm press accessories to get back at pressure throughout these variables.
Different warm transfer materials all have their own time, temperature, and stress settings– we inform our consumers, “validate, after that use” (VTA!).
Imported warm presses without adjustable pressure can trigger failed applications.
What devices help to ensure I have exact stress?
Warm Printing Pillows assist with buttons as well as zippers and Print Perfect Pads help with pockets and small products. These accessories help produce even stress when the area is unequal. The video clip below looks at the advantages of various other warmth press devices
