With a recommended press time as low as 3
seconds, and at temperatures as low as 130
degrees, garments can be heat pressed up
to five times faster than a standard heat
transfer flex film. With temperatures this low,
the Turbo Print is a brilliant all-rounder for
creating high quality prints on a wide variety
of materials such as cotton, polyester, cotton/
polyester, lycra and even nylon.
Armed with a print and cut machine such
as the Roland BN20 and a Stahls’ Hotronix
heatpress, approximately 54 full colour chest
logos can be produced for less than £5 from
start to finish. Sounds great…right? And the
benefits don’t stop there. The BN20 opens a
world of printing possibilities. Not only can
this be used with heat transfer films, but
with a variety of media available from Doro
Tape it’s also possible to produce banners,
canvases, self-adhesive vinyl stickers, signs
and so much more! With a 20” print width,
the BN20 fits neatly on the desktop and is
