A heat press machine is used to transfer designs onto various fabrics by heating the substrate and pressing the design on the fabric for a predetermined time. The heat melts the colors and the press forces the colors onto the fabric. The results achieved with this process are excellent. The heat press printing lasts longer than any other method.

Let’s understand the process by working on DBLDBL V2 heating and pressing machine

It is a highly reliable and durable machine for garment printing. This semi-automatic machine offers rapid heat recovery, accurate temperature control, and even pressure distribution throughout the substrate or fabric. It features a lower platen or electronically heated surface and an upper platen to put pressure on the garment. Also, temperature and pressure settings are made to achieve desired results.

The DBLDBL V2 comes with the following features that make it super convenient to print garments with this machine

A digital timer and temperature meter are provided for precise press-programming. The right temperature and pressure are needed to transfer the design onto the fabric. 

This DTF heat press features an integrated design that allows smooth upper platen sliding movement. Also, the double station capability significantly boosts the productivity of the machine.

The presence of springs provides ample space for slipping the garment onto the lower platen and even distribution of pressure when the pressure is applied to the design.

Temperature can be precisely regulated to achieve desired heat on the upper platen.

The line positioning of the machine has been improved to ensure precise placement of the platens.

An emergency stop button is provided to safeguard the machine operator.

DBLDBL V2 is a high-grade commercial device more suitable for large operations where you need to print garments in large numbers and you want to ensure both speed and quality. The biggest advantage of this machine is it can be operated single-handedly. You only need to monitor the temperature and pressure settings and leave the rest of the job on the equipment.

Could I start a home-based business of t-shirt printing?

It is possible to start a home-based business of graphic tees with the help of a mini heat press machine like Insta 718 or Geo Knight Digital Knight 12 x 14 Swing Away machine. The process of heating and pressing on a machine remains the same. You need to slip the garment on the lower platen and press with the upper platen.
