We sold our ASPE here, moving all of our inside tag prints to inkcups pad printing.
Digging up another old thread. For those of you doing transfer tags what transfer paper are you using and what temp are you pressing at? I have a Stahls hat press I would like to use and I’ve done some testing using Arjo Wiggins X90 paper and One Stroke transfer ink but only poly/cotton and tri-blends I’m getting a heat press mark that is making the shirt shiny where I did the transfer. I’ve tried less heat and I don’t get a full transfer. Same with less pressure. We only have one auto so I would really like to get this off the press and into someone else’s hands so we can free up the press to print more work while neck tags are being applied.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stahls hat press doesn’t have pressure settings, just a knob to turn to adjust pressure bit I’ve tried everything from 270-340 temps, quick hits to longer times, little pressure to full pressure. And every combo possible. I think it’s something with my setup vs the time/temp/pressure. Not sure if it’s my cover sheet, the paper I’m using (tried two different types) or what. Really has me stumped. I don’t have a pillow on my hat press but maybe that would help. What is your setup? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Is it leaving a mark only where the transfer paper is? Or the whole heating element leaves a mark? I've got the black maxx hat press and regret buying everytime I use it. No pressure sensor and no auto open. Wish I just got the hotronix...You could try putting a piece of fleece material on the bottom platten to give it some more cushion like a pillow. Or some other paper on the top covers the whole platen area. maybe even some shirt material ontop We do our transfers with low cure inks if possible. We use ace transfer supply for our paper and powderSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
I had a rapid tag and found it to be “less” of a machine than I’m used to. Sold it and got the all electric anatol prodigy which is working great.
