The FreeSUB ST-3042 combines a heated chamber with vacuum technology to transfer sublimation designs onto compatible flat and three-dimensional blanks. Unlike a conventional flat heat press, the vacuum system can maintain contact around shaped surfaces when the appropriate mould, wrap or fixture is used.
Its 300 x 420 x 110 mm working chamber provides space for producing a varied selection of personalised products, promotional items and decorative pieces.
The ST-3042 can be used with compatible sublimation-coated products such as:
The blank must be suitable for sublimation and capable of withstanding the required processing temperature. Settings should always follow the instructions supplied by the blank and transfer media manufacturers.
FreeSUB states that the working chamber can accommodate up to 12 mugs at one time. Actual capacity depends on the mug dimensions, positioning and the wraps used to hold each transfer securely.
Producing several items during one heating cycle can support batch production, although time and temperature may need to be adjusted according to the number and type of blanks inside the chamber.
The vacuum system helps draw the transfer material against the product surface. This is particularly useful when working with curved or three-dimensional blanks where a conventional flat platen cannot provide suitable contact.
Depending on the item, you may need a dedicated silicone mould, mug wrap, membrane or holding fixture. These accessories should be matched to the dimensions and shape of the blank before production begins.
The front control panel allows the operator to manage the heating process and transfer time. Always test new combinations of blanks, transfer paper and accessories before beginning a larger production run.
The power consumption, operating temperature range, timer range, UK plug configuration and package contents should be confirmed from the physical unit or its manual before these details are published.
The chamber, accessories and finished products can become extremely hot during sublimation. Use suitable heat-resistant gloves, allow completed items to cool safely and follow the operating instructions supplied with the machine.
