Overview / Key Features
The Practix OK-10CP Rotary Heat Transfer Calendar provides a 66” transferring platform. This machine allows for the versatility of transfer printing of cut parts and / or continuous fabrics as follows:
-
Roll of printed paper and roll of fabric
-
Roll of printed paper and fabric material in pieces
-
Sheets of printed paper and fabric material in pieces
Heating System:
-
10-inch (254 mm) diameter drum with electrically heated thermal transfer oil in Practix’s steel drum design
-
4-inch touch screen control for all machine functions, machine errors, logs machine stops, programs for different setups, etc.
-
Temperature is regulating within tolerance of +/- degrees F.
-
Auto cool down
Tension Controls:
-
Printed paper: Pneumatic brake unwind and pneumatic clutch rewind. Both adjustable with pressure gauge regulator. Both have on/off switch.
-
Fabric: Pneumatic brake unwind and electric motor surface wind rewind. Unwind is adjustable with pressure gauge. Rewind is adjustable motor with inverter drive to allow tension-less rewind or tensioned.
-

Applications
The Practix OK-10 rotary calendar is a machine used for heat transfer applications on fabrics. Here are its key applications:
Dye-sublimation printing: This process involves transferring a design printed on sublimation paper onto fabric using heat and pressure. The Practix OK-10 is suitable for both cut parts (individual pieces of fabric) and roll-to-roll applications (continuous fabric).
Direct fabric fixation: This is used for fabrics that have already been directly printed with dyes. The heat press cures the ink and sets the design onto the fabric.
Continuous production: This makes it ideal for high-volume applications such as:
- Athletic apparel, jerseys, sportswear
- Banners, flags, exhibition displays, other signage
- Home décor items like curtains, pillowcases
- Skis, surfboards, snowboards
- Ribbons, lanyards
- Metal, aluminum, ceramics
- Mousepads, floormats
