Textile Transfer Printing
Textile Transfer Printing
Textile Transfer Printing is a fast growing screen printing application. Not only the possibility to print much more fine details but also the durability of the modern textile transfers have great advantages over direct garment printing. During the last 5 years many textile printers have upgraded from direct garment printing to the much more efficient use of automatic screen printing flat-bed and cylinder presses. For semi- and ¾-automatic flat-bed screen printing machines, the ATMA AT-60PD / AT-80P and ATMACE 67/G 6 are fast and efficient alternatives. For higher productivity, our SPS VITESSA XP primeline equipped with a SPS FP front pick-up feeder, many anti-static options and even “just-in-time” sheet cleaning is an excellent machine configuration for this application. In case screen printing would be used in combination with digital produced textile transfers the more sophisticated, servo driven and camera register control cylinder type machine, SPS ASTRON QX will provide you with highest productivity and register accuracy. Within the ATMA flat-bed range of screen printing machines the camera controlled type ATMATIC MF66/F in semi or fully automatic version or the MF44, would be an excellent choice.
