What should I care about when choosing a high quality heat transfer machine?

   Heat transfer printing machine is a necessary machine in sublimation printing, when it involves printing reliability and effect. It is critical to choose a high quality heat transfer machine.Here are some tips for your reference.
Time
   All heat presses include programmable timers. Most automatically activate when the press is closed and a buzzer sounds when the time has expired so the operator knows to open it.
   Some heat presses open automatically when time has elapsed. This may cause the transfer paper to slightly shift on the substrate and result in image “ghosting,” which can ruin the item being sublimated. If using such a heat press, consider disabling the auto-open feature. If you keep it enabled, ensure the transfer is properly secured to the substrate.
Temperature
   Most sublimation products require a constant temperature of 400°F for one minute. A variation of just a few degrees may affect the final image’s colors and details.
   Heat presses consist of upper and lower platens. The former contains heating elements, whereas the latter supports the substrate during pressing. (Note: On some presses, both upper and lower platens are heated.) Quality heat presses have reliable heating elements that deliver accurate temperature with minor fluctuations (drifting).In addition, the heating elements ensure the upper-platen temperature is consistent across the entire surface, thereby preventing “cold spots,” which can cause uneven color in a sublimated image.
   Some heat presses use lower-quality elements that are spaced farther apart in order to lower costs. The price tag — and output quality — for these units can be significantly lower. For other applications, such as heat transfers, this may be suitable, but not for sublimation.
Pressure 
    In addition to delivering heat, the upper platen also produces pressure on the substrate. It’s critical that the platen is flat, even and constructed of quality materials so that it doesn’t “give” during the pressing process.Inconsistent or uneven pressure will affect sublimation quality, leading to color imbalance, imperfect details and possible ghosting.
    Low quality heat presses are often made of less solid materials to save costs. For most other applications, pressure is not a major factor, so uneven plate will have very little, if any, effect. But it is a key aspect of high quality sublimation.If you need a high quality one,please feel free to contact us.Excellent quality and quality service, so that you have no worries.
