What is the learning curve for a
person new to digital printing?
Great question! To help reduce the
learning curve in every aspect for a person entering this field, RhinoTech offers its Digital Transfer Division. We specialize in helping new operators
learn about easy-to-use heat transfer papers, printers and heat press equipment
through in-person and step-by-step, hands-on instruction at our Eagan, MN-based
training facility. In just a few hours/days, the new printer can be printing.
We also work with the new start-up operator to help meet specific price points
and work/inventory space needs whether a home-based type studio printing
situation, a small, storefront arrangement or for a large commercial screen
printing entity with sights on expanding into digital, heat transfer printing.
This greatly reduces the time it takes to investigate digital printing
systems.
Description of some of the heat press equipment: The RT DK20S combines a heavy-duty solid steel industrial grade pressing framework with accurate and
easy to use electronics to provide the operator with the best possible features
and equipment needed for various heat transfer applications. This press is an
industry champ as the top-end robust workhorse of all swing away heat presses.
The RT DK25S is the
jumbo-sized version with a 20x25 heat platen. This press is also available in
an air-operated automatic version, the DK20SP.
The RT RT1515 heat press has a platen size of 15” x 15” with
digital
temperature and time gauges. It’s
the perfect small format heat
press for a start-up in a home-based, studio or storefront business. Its swing-away design makes it extremely user-friendly offering unobstructed
access to the lower platen. Loading garments and placing transfers is hassle-free.
The RT Cap/Hat Press features a special spring loaded cap mounting clamp, extra working room for mounting
a hat, full range pressure application, automatic Alarm/Timer with Digital
temperature, timer display and alarm. The RT Plate Press with a 4" and
6" impression area that is an easy to operate press that is
multi-functional for printing images onto apparel and fabrics.
Because the precision design of
RhinoTech heat presses includes temperature and time sensors, new, start-up
printers can maintain focus on honing their “touch and pressure” skills. These two skills are generally perfected in a few hours as the beginning printer
becomes familiar with the “feel” of the heat press.
All of our heat presses can be used
in conjunction with the latest generation of heat transfer papers, toners and
printers. These include the RT SunAngel DARK series with Fluorescent and
White and CMYK and White toners;

Next question. What is the advice regarding the purchase of digital
printing equipment?
Our advice is: 1) don’t purchase random equipment. Investigate systems that are
compatible. The RhinoTech web store through it's Digital Transfer division
features systems that work together, that have been tested and tested many
times over so that customers can feel secure that they are purchasing
recommended equipment to get the job done. This saves the start-up printer
time, money and effort in the long term;
2)
compare prices - don’t just purchase the ‘cheapest’ equipment as often you get
what you pay for. RhinoTech offers competitive pricing by continuing to
compare/analyze equipment and remain out-front regarding the latest digital
heat transfer equipment, papers, printers, toners;
3) make sure that the equipment and supplies needed will fit into
the work space. RhinoTech regularly advises customers on systems and system
lay-out for best printing set-up to gain maximum efficiency;
4) get proper training and follow all
instructional material. RhinoTech offers educational, step-by-step, how-to
videos. Videos and/or one-on-one
training ensure that the learning curve is minimal and that the
start-up/customer has an accessible source of training, 24/7.
RhinoTech also has a responsive
customer service team. This helps to provide a strong initial framework for the
start-up digital printer who shouldn’t hesitate to make use of this assistance.
