heat press with rolled transfers
« on: August 29, 2019, 05:27:07 PM »
Seems like I remember a heat press that had a auto roll of transfers and would auto advance as the operator would load and unload the shirt. I think it was foot petal operated. We use transfers for inside neck lables on fleece with most of our retail customers. Does anyone know of a press that does this. ot was a single station. Help please!! thanks in advance

I've seen similar setups for plastic bottles; Avery Dennison was originally based in our town, actually it was Dennison Mfg. before being taken over by Avery, and we knew the head maintenance person there (no, not the janitor) and he was showing us around, and there it was, 3 color transfers on a roll, being applied to plastic bottles. So, yes, there has to be something...

Had one. Here are the rubs. If you want to be compliant, then RNs and country of origin, sizes etc. So switching out rolls, while not difficult, requires attention to detail and, If the right people are involved all is well. Think of it. Tearing out or ripping seams is not a fun nor easy project and often passed off to the "lable printer" to figure it out.

yea, Right now we cut labels and print  on about 90 percent of what we do. 30,000 units a day with probably 80-100 different set ups.
Rapid tag machines are a blessing but we do some on press and printing fleece is never clear enough for retail so we use transfers and we all know how long that takes. just looking for options . really for the fleece
