For all the advances made in the areas of heat press technology and heat transfers over the years, at least one thing has stayed the same: the fact a successful decoration remains dependent on the skill of the operator to ensure the transfer is placed correctly on the garment being decorated—until now. Paired up with the company’s Hotronix Dual Air Fusion heat press, STAHLS’ Hotronix ProPlace IQ Projection Alignment System ensures perfect placement by projecting a rendering of the design in question directly onto the platen where the garment is going to be threaded for decorating. No more having to guess where exactly a design is going or what exactly it’s going to look like, making it a great way of ensuring speed and quality over the course of even the longest production runs. In addition to being available pre-fitted with a brand-new Dual Air Fusion heat press, the systems can also be retrofitted to an existing Dual Air Fusion heat press. Design images are uploaded via STAHLS’ proprietary Hotronix Cloud system, which in turns means the projection process can be integrated into your company’s overall design/production/ordering system as well, providing you with the opportunity for yet more decorating efficiencies.
