Insta Graphic Systems is excited to debut its New Insta 288 Manual Swing-Away heat press with an oversized platen. The new Insta 288 Manual Swing Away heat press machine is, with its 20” x 25” platens, our largest manual machine. Insta 288 can be used in the sublimation market because of its oversized platens and its ability to generate even temperature & pressure – which are essential in the application of sublimation transfers. It can also be used by contractors for the application of various types of heat transfers. Insta 288 is chosen for its fast heat recovery, accurate temperature, even pressure and its ability to achieve consistent results under 24/7 use.
Quality You Can Count On
Insta 288 has been strategically designed to generate & evenly distribute tremendous pressure throughout its upper & lower platens. Its cast-in tubular heating element heats the metal from within, to produce constant and long lasting heat. A successful heat transfer application requires three key elements to work in tandem: Time, temperature & pressure. Insta 288 has mastered those elements and gets the job done every time.
Features
