A front, a back, two sleeves and a collar can be fitted on to two sheets of the transfer paper. The 7240 can accommodate up to 44” paper width, so the width of the ink jet transfer paper needs to be 44” wide or less.

The speed of the 7240 machine is a little over 1 fpm at a 40 second dwell time. One sheet every 2.5 minutes is one complete garment every 5 minutes. There are 480 minutes in an 8 hour day. Considering set-up time, breaks etc, and production should be 75 to 80 garments per day.

From the video:

The guides on the front are adjusted for the ribbon. The second set of guides are for the print paper. The tissue paper paper protect the belt and as always goes in first. You’ll see as it exits, the press paper wraps over the top of the bars to prevent ghosting.

You can see in this setup that the print paper is on the lollipops and the ribbon is coming from a box just below the lollipops. Here at the exit you can see the finish product as it is printed – a polka dot ribbon.

You can see the ribbon attachment simply clamps onto the front bar of the heat press stand to keep the attachment parallel. The collars on the front are used to align the paper with the ribbon product.

We now carry a new TextPrintXP “High Release” Sublimation Paper that is well suited for today’s dye sublimation printers. Its features include:

The new paper has been tested and proven with the Sawgrass Sublimation inks and is available as part of our Total Solutions Package for grand format printing.
