Secabo interchangeable plates and slide extension

Transfer presses are a popular tool amongst professionals and keen hobbyists alike for customising a wide variety of materials with prints. Particularly in textile finishing, it is often worth investing in your own press rather than repeatedly commissioning new prints from a specialist. The range of accessories available in the YOW! online shop is just as diverse as the possible applications offered by a transfer press. Interchangeable plates, which further optimise the print quality, are often a worthwhile investment. We have compiled a list of the benefits they offer and the additional features that make operation even more convenient.

A simple, large-area print – such as on a cotton bag – is straightforward and can easily be carried out using a heat press without any additional accessories. However, printing processes are not always this straightforward. If the textile print is more complex and consists of several transfers on a single garment, or if the area to be printed is very small, using the base plate carries the risk of damaging other transfers and putting unnecessary strain on the surface. In this case, interchangeable plates are a useful tool for protecting textiles and achieving the best possible result. At YOW! you’ll find a wide selection of interchangeable plates in a variety of sizes, designed for ease of use. The 12 x 38 cm plate, for example, is particularly suitable for printing on sleeves, and we also have the right product for even smaller designs. In this value pack, you get four interchangeable plates in a wide range of sizes for the price of three. So not only do you save money, but with this purchase you’ll also have a plate for every occasion to perfect your textile printing. The plates can be changed in a matter of seconds and are suitable for most old and new models of Secabo transfer presses.

Our Secabo quick-change systems make operation even more convenient; depending on the transfer press model, – allow up to three interchangeable plates to be fitted side by side and also feature a special beam technology that makes it easy for the user to pull the textiles over the base plate. The Secabo Slide extension, which is available for the TC 5, TC 7 and SMART models, is also based on the quick-change principle and transforms your transfer press into a practical double-plate press. The accompanying beam adapter allows you to continue using your old base plate. Whilst you can easily clamp this onto one side of the Slide in just a few simple steps, you can use the other side for an additional base plate or one of the smaller interchangeable plates. Assembly and operation are convenient and straightforward, and as long as you ensure that individual plates are always positioned centrally within the Slide to distribute the load evenly across the heating plate, nothing should stand in the way of your perfect textile printing with the help of these handy extensions. We hope you enjoy trying them out!
