Built to Keep Production Moving
Automatic where it matters.
Control where you need it.
The AP1 combines electric automatic operation with the flexibility of a swing-away design. Set your pressure, temperature, and time, position the garment on the magnetic slide-out platen, and let the press release automatically when the cycle is complete.
Its 16 × 20 platen gives apparel decorators a full-size production surface. Choose the AP1 Standard or add laser alignment for a visual placement reference. Additional platens are also available separately to expand the machine for different garments and print locations.
AP1 // Choose Your Configuration
Two ways to run the mission.
The AP1 is available with or without laser alignment. Choose the configuration that best fits your production workflow.
CONFIGURATION // 02

AP1 // System Architecture
Designed Around the Workflow.
A commercial press should make production easier, not become another obstacle between you and the finished garment.
Electric Automatic Pressing
110V electric automatic operation removes the need to manually open the press at the end of every cycle.
Swing-Away Arm
The upper platen swings away from the loading area, creating open access to the garment and lower platen.
Magnetic Slide-Out Platen
The lower platen slides out to make loading, positioning, and garment changes easier during production.
Optional Laser Alignment
Choose the AP1 with or without laser alignment. The laser-equipped configuration adds a visual reference for positioning transfers and garments.
Adjustable Pressure
Pressure can be adjusted to suit the application and transfer process being used.
LED Control Screen
An LED screen provides access to time and temperature controls for day-to-day operation.
Additional Platens Available
Additional platens are available separately, giving the AP1 more flexibility for different garments, print locations, and production needs.
Production Control
Set it. Press it. Let it release.
The AP1 includes timed automatic release, so the machine opens when the programmed cycle is complete. That keeps the operator from having to watch the clock through every press cycle.
