TC5 SMART transfer heat press for flat surfaces - automatic clamshell press with Bluetooth
The press design is fully modular and consists of: control unit, heating plate, bottom plate, base frame, and power cable. All modules of the heat press can be easily dismantled and replaced in just a few simple steps, offering wide possibilities for upgrading the press according to specific needs
The transfer press can optionally be equipped with interchangeable plates in various sizes, a membrane bottom plate, or dual-plate guides.
The press opens automatically once the set time has elapsed and signals this with a sound. The heating process can be interrupted at any time by pressing a single button. Temperature and pressing time are selected via a digital controller
The pressure is adjusted using a knob located on top of the heating plate. The press also features an additional cover on the heating plate to protect the user from burns
The TC5 Smart 38 x 38 transfer press comes with an innovative Bluetooth interface, which, together with the free Secabo Smart Transfer App, enables remote control of the press. The user can select the type of fabric or material to be printed, and the app automatically adjusts the optimal combination of temperature, time, and pressure.
The electronic control unit also offers several new features – in addition to setting temperature and pressing time, it includes pre-pressing, counting, sleep mode, automatic shut-off, storage for up to 10 transfer parameter settings, and many other functions.

Key features of heat transfer presses for printing:
Heat press machines are used to transfer graphics onto a variety of materials using high temperature and appropriate pressure. Depending on their design, heat presses can be manual or automatic, including clamshell models that open upwards and swing-away models that open to the side. Individual heat presses offer different technical parameters, such as temperature range, pressure strength, and even heat distribution across the platen. This wide selection ensures that a Secabo heat transfer press can be optimally matched to the individual needs of the user.
Heat presses for clothing and promotional materials are used in many printing techniques, including sublimation, flex and flock films, flex and flock for sublimation and solvent printing, DTF (Direct To Film), and transfers from both laser and inkjet printers.
Thermal transfer presses are widely used across multiple industries, such as the garment industry for marking textiles like T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, fabric bags, workwear, pillowcases, and the advertising industry for personalizing promotional items such as puzzles, mouse pads, keychains, and photo frames.
