Anatol Heat Transfer Press Machines — Equipment Catalog

Anatol's heat transfer press machines apply images to textiles using heat and pressure: transfers, foil, and other heat-applied decorations are pressed onto the garment by a heated platen. Unlike traditional screen printing, no printing screen is needed here — the image is applied from a pre-made transfer, which makes this equipment a strong complement to a DTF printer. The heat transfer press is also a good fit for DTG workflows, to mat down garment fibers, cure pre-treatment and/or final prints.

Anatol equipment is the industry leader for print shops specializing in custom t-shirt printing, textiles, and promotional products, especially where transfers, foil, or specialty effects are used instead of traditional screen printing.

Anatol's key brand advantages in the heat transfer press segment include heavy-duty, industrial-grade steel construction, an easy-to-use touchscreen control panel with three work modes, and built-in laser alignment systems for consistent garment and transfer placement on the pallet.

Types of Anatol Heat Transfer Press Machines

Anatol's heat transfer press category features the Rapid Transfer System (RTS) — an automatic two-station press built to replace a manual clamshell press for growing production volumes.

Available Anatol heat transfer press model:

• Rapid Transfer System (RTS) — a two-station automatic heat transfer press for applying transfers, foil, and other heat-applied decorations, operating in manual, semi-automatic, and automatic modes.

Automation in the RTS heat transfer press reduces reliance on operator physical effort compared to a manual clamshell press, and two stations let one operator run the process without downtime between cycles.

• Print speed — while a transfer is being pressed at one station, the second station is ready for you to load the next garment, increasing your output compared to a single station press;
• Consistent quality — digital time, pressure, and temperature settings for each pallet independently ensure the same result across the entire run;
• Throughput — three work modes (manual, semi-automatic, automatic) let you adjust pace to the task at hand while maintaining quality control.

What Anatol Heat Transfer Press Machines Are Used For

Anatol's RTS heat transfer press is used wherever precise, repeatable application of heat transfers or other heat-applied decorations is needed:

• T-shirt printing — applying finished transfers to custom and apparel runs;
• Textiles — hoodies, sweatshirts, and other textile merch with foil or specialty effects;
• Promotional products — branded apparel for brands and events using heat-applied logos;
• Packaging/merch — curing DTG prints after pretreatment and smoothing fabric fibers for better results on dark garments.

How to Choose an Anatol Heat Transfer Press

• For small businesses — the two-station RTS lets you start with a minimal garment processing queue and scale pace gradually as orders grow;
• For manufacturing — the press's automatic mode suits a steady daily flow of custom transfers without relying on a manual clamshell press;
• By volume — consider how many application cycles you need per hour: the RTS's two pallets let you process the next garment while the first is still under the press;
• By budget — the RTS covers the need for heat-application automation without jumping straight to a large carousel heat transfer press;

Pricing for the Anatol Heat Transfer Press

The price of an Anatol RTS heat transfer press depends on whether any additional pallets for specialty applications are needed (two standard 16" x 20" pallets are included).

Pricing for the RTS is set as the cost of a complete, ready-to-use two-station automatic solution — unlike automatic screen printing presses, there isn't a broad lineup of station-count configurations here. An exact quote and lead time are provided by an Anatol representative — you can submit a request through the "Get a Quote" form on the website.

Delivery and Commissioning of the Anatol Heat Transfer Press

• Installation — the press ships with a floor stand that adjusts to three height positions, making it easy to set up for the operator's height;
• Startup — commissioning includes connecting to the air supply (4 CFM @ 8 bar) and electrical supply (230 V, 15 A, 3 kW), calibrating the laser alignment system, and a test application cycle;
