How to Maintain the Heat Press Machine ?

-
For sublimation printing, a good heat press machine is very important. No matter you use the flatbed heat press machine, or the roller heat press machine, the daily maintenance is essential. We can do this job from several aspects.

1. Lubrication

  You don’t need to worry about the lubrication when you just buy a heat press machine. But every 5-6 months, it is vital to inspect the exposed rods at the 'hinge' points or the pivot points, and the areas must be lubricated a little with high-temperature lithium grease. Do note that too much lubrication on the machine leads to soiled clothes. It is thus important to be economical with the grease application.

2. Heat element

   The heat element must be kept clean.Ink can be removed from heat element by using soft
fabric or a flannel piece while the press continues to be hot. But remember, don’t hurt yourself. If you still can’t solve the problems, turn off the machine, and clean the element again when it gets cold.

3. Lower rubber pad

High-temperature silicone rubber is used to make rubber pad. It will begin to wear after some time. These will result in low areas in middle or on low areas. To see whether the pad has worn down, place paper strips at the corners of the pad. Lock heat platen. In case the paper could be pulled out quickly while press remains locked, then it can be safely surmised that the pad is worn down in these areas. Application pressure thus is a poor one. This problem can be solved by using replacement pad kits sold by the machine manufacturer. If a better solution is preferred, a new platen can be bought.

  4. Pneumatic press

For a heat press which is air operated, it is important to keep the air lines safe from moisture. The easiest solution is to install water traps on air lines so that the water gets captured before the air gets into the machine. This is important as moisture packed air can damage the internal components and air valves.

5. Spare parts

   Always remember to keep a few standard parts at home. As we also know some parts of the heat press machine like circuit breakers, gas springs and the on or off switches are very easy to wear. So you should always keep some of them at home. Once there is a problem, you can make the machine run again quickly.

   Heat press machine is an important part of sublimation printing, especially when you are doing sublimation printing business. Learn to maintain it well will help you a lot in your work.

 Is DTG Printing Eco-friendly?    DTG printing is a more sustainable fashion business model than screen printing. Mainly because printing one-offs allows businesses to avoid overproduction and textile waste. With 92 million tons of textile going to waste in the fashion industry each year, a business model like this is a game-changer.     Plus, a lot of DTG printer manufacturers create advanced tech that’s made with sustainability in mind. For example, our partners with Sublistar whose printers produce almost zero wastewater and use less energy, lowering the carbon footprint.     What’s more, sublistar DTG printers use water-based vegan inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own ink factories, maintaining the highest quality levels. The inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and contain no animal by-products.     Direct-to-garment printing is a hassle-free way to get the products ready for your customers. ...
