The Secabo TC1 – small but mighty!

A transfer press, also known as a textile press, heat press or ironing press, is essentially nothing more than a heated pressure press. It can be used to transfer custom designs, graphics, logos or lettering onto a variety of materials.  Transfer presses are most commonly used to transfer graphics onto textiles. However, they are actually much more versatile! As well as traditional T-shirts, you can just as easily print on jumpers, tote bags, caps, towels and much more. Even mugs, balls and key rings can be printed using the right transfer press. You’ll find a wide selection of printable products and the necessary consumables in our online shop.

Anyone looking for a suitable machine for textile transfers will be overwhelmed by the sheer number of products available on the market. However, Secabo’s transfer presses remain particularly popular.  The Secabo TC1 is now available in the YOW! online shop as the newest addition to our TC product range. We’ll explain how the machine works and what advantages it offers over other transfer presses.

The range of applications offered by a transfer press is as varied as the different transfer methods themselves. Transfer presses enable both professionals and keen hobbyists alike to bring their personal ideas to life

When choosing the right transfer press, the shape of the materials onto which the design is to be transferred, as well as the size of the objects to be transferred, are the key factors. To apply a personalised design to flat materials such as textiles or tiles, clamshell or swing-top presses are used. A reliable entry-level clamshell press for smaller designs is the Secabo TC1 transfer press. It has a working area of 15 x 15 cm, making it perfect for textile finishing, e.g. for emblems, patches, iron-on transfers, branding or product labelling. So, the hassle of positioning textiles when applying small designs is now a thing of the past! Thanks to its compact dimensions, the TC1 is also ideal as a portable press for merchandising in sport, music and other events.

As the name suggests, a heat press uses heat and pressure to transfer a design onto an object. Depending on the material to be printed on, a different contact pressure is required to ensure successful textile printing. The temperature must also be adjusted accordingly. As you’d expect from Secabo, the TC1 is simple to use, even for beginners. The time and temperature for the transfer can be preset on the Secabo TC1’s digital controller. An audible signal sounds once the set time has elapsed. The contact pressure is adjusted using a hand wheel on the top of the heating plate.  The plate heats up quickly and has low energy consumption. The pressing process is started by closing the press lever.

Another major advantage of the compact 15cm x 15cm TC1 is that it prevents heat marks on the fabric, as only the absolutely necessary area is heated. It applies pressure precisely where it is required and necessary. This also protects the fabric from resublimation and dye migration.
