The heat is on – Impression Technology’s Therm 44 rotary calender
Under its brand name ThermTX Impression Technology has released the ThermTX 44-inch 3-in-1 rotary heat press calendar for the dye sublimation market.
The 44-inch rotary press offers three-in-one capabilities including roll-to-roll, cut-piece and dye fixing for direct-to-textile print and can be used for a broad range of textile applications.
Using solid steel construction with a 200mm drum for fast and efficient transfers, heat is controlled via sensors which maintain consistent temperature and also facilitate an automated cool-down. The media system includes a material centring system for quickly loading the calendar for production. The unit is completely self-contained and does not need compressed air.
A fixed table for imaging piece goods and sports apparel along with a catch bin for piece parts are included.
According to Stephen Richardson, managing director of Impression Technology, ‘The 44-inch dye-sub market has experienced tremendous growth and we have had many users approach us about offering a 44-inch calender which could meet the needs of both beginners and professionals. In fact, the designers of the ThermTX 44 used focus groups to ensure the unit was not only easy-to-use for those just starting, but also sported the most advanced features required by sophisticated and demanding users.’
Stocked in Holland, the Tx44 is available for delivery to the UK and Impression Technology employs a dedicated engineer (based in Nottingham) to support its equipment .
