The Graphic Transfer Printing Calender has been especially designed for the sublimation and dye fixation of prints, made by a digital printer. The immediate transfer or dye fixation of the printed image creates a totally different approach of the production of advertising materials.
The image can be altered by means of a computer and can be printed with a digital printer on paper while preserving every photographic-sharp detail, which can be transferred immediately (or at a later stage if needed) onto the fabric.
A major advantage of the system is that the printed material does not require any pre or after-treatment. The calender can also be used for the dye fixation of directly printed digital prints.The Sport System enables continuous printing of single panels/pieces or transfer printing in a more conventional rollto- roll configuration. The images, which can vary from one to the other, are digitally printed onto a continuous roll of transfer paper and fed into the calender print face up. The printed paper is presented to the operator over a horizontal table, with an area large enough to allow sufficient time for the single, pre cut or preformed items to be placed in register with the print.
The printed paper, the single items and an overlaying protection paper are transported around the face of the calender. After transfer printing, the single panels / pieces are transported, via a conveyer belt, to the front of the machine for collection.
Thanks to the ergonomic layout of the machine and its continuous process it’s possible to produce large volumes of individual panels, using less energy, with greater consistency and with fewer operators compared to a hand operated flatbed press.
The unique Sport `System makes it possible to transferprint pre-cut single pieces of material at high speed with the use of normal continuous printed paper, reducing the digital printing cost. Because of strong reduced handling on the TC 81 Sport System, labour costs will be a fraction of the normal hand operated system. The usage of “sticky” paper will not be required to produce printed single items and an additional operator can be avoided.
Accurate control of temperature, web guide, web tension and blanket pressure result in high quality, exactly reproducible end products. This machine is as standard equipped with:
Aluminium winding shafts, fabric un-winder and tensioning device; un-winder and winder for printed paper, in-feed table and J-box. Another feature is the built-in cooling down timer, which will increase your production time considerably. Contact Graphix Supply World, proud distributors of Klieverik, to find out more about this new function which will save you time and money and keep your business ahead of the competition.
