Setup & Suggestions

• Locate the press on a firm, sturdy work surface.

• The height of the bench/work space the press is located on would be

ideally 27” to 32” high.

• Attach the power cord from the rear to the underside of the top head.

• There is a power inlet under the top head that the modular cord will

plug into.

• Make sure the cord does no interfere with the lower table pressing

area, or the height sensor.

• The press should remain in the unclamped position when not in use.

Do not leave the heater block closed on the table surface when hot if

not using.

• The top head should be swung over and above the pressing table when

not in use.

Basic Use

Setting Time

Thetime setting is always editable in the default operatingmode

of the controller. The left two digits of the time display are minutes.

The right two digits are seconds. This can be changed to Hours/

Minutes in the User Options Menu.

• Use the Up & Down arrow keys to change the time.

• Hold the Up or Down arrow key down to increment the values quickly.

After a brief pause, the values will accelerate.

• Press the Up & Down arrow keys together to clear the setting to 00:00

• When the press is closed, the timing cycle starts. The “TIMING”

indicator will appear.

• When the timing cycle is finished, the “DONE” indicator will appear.

• Dependingonthe timer alarmchosen, the alarmmay continue tosound

at the end of the timing cycle until the press is opened.

• When the press is opened up, the “OPEN” indicator will appear.

Setting Temperature

• The control will regulate the heat platen temperature based on the set

point temperature. When the temperature falls below the Set Point,

the “HEATING” indicator will appear.

• Whenthetemperature reachestheSet Point,the“HEATING” indicator

will disappear and the “READY” indicator will appear.

• If the Set Point temperature is set to a temperature below the Current

temperature, the press will wait to cool down to that Set Point. At that

time, neither the “READY” or “HEATING” indicators will appear.

In the default operating mode of the controller, the displayed

temperatureistheCurrenttemperature.Thisistheactualtemperature

of the heat platen surface. Please note that the operating range of the

controller is from 150°F to 550°F (65°C to 288°C). During the first

heat up cycle of the press, the controller will display 150°F (65°C)

until the heat platen temperature rises above that temperature.

The Set Point temperature is the temperature the operator sets

the press for. This is the value the press will regulate the Current

temperature based on. The set point temperature may be changed

whenever necessary:

• When in the default operating mode, press the TEMP button.

• The Current temperature will be replaced by the blinking Set Point

temperature.

• Use the Up & Down arrow keys to change the Set Point temperature.

• Hold the Up or Down arrow key down to increment the values quickly.

After a brief pause, the values will accelerate.

• Press the Up & Down arrow keys together to set the temperature to

350.

• Whenfinishedsetting thetemperature,press theTEMPbutton toreturn

to the default operating mode.

Setting Height / Pressure

The Digital Height/Pressure gauge is a helpful indicator of the

current height of the top head as the operator adjusts the pressure.

• To decrease the pressure, turn the

pressure knob to the left,

counterclockwise.

• The top head will rise away from

the lower table.

• To increase the pressure, turn the

pressure knob to the right,

clockwise.

• The top head will lower toward the

pressing table.

• If the pressure knob is turned

rapidly enough, the display will

change to the pressure gauge

display. The units of measure are

arelativescale from 0:00to 10:00,

with :02 increments.

• To view the current pressure display value without changing it, simply

pull the pin up on the pressure gauge device on the pack post and let

it drop back down. This will force the PRS display to appear.

The gauge displays a reference value based on the height of the

heat platen in relation to the lower table. The closer the heat platen is

to the substrate on the table, the heavier the pressure. The further

away, the lighter the pressure. The amount of actual force exerted

depends on the thickness of the item being pressed and the distance

from the heat platen to the table. The digital height/pressure gauge

simply shows a relative value from 0:00 to 10:00 in fine resolution

increments as to the current height of the platen.

This helps the user return to an exact pressure setting without

the need of multiple experimentations to find the proper pressure

setting. By simply changing the pressure until the correct value

appears, previous heights and pressure settings for different thickness

substrates can be quickly reset without error.

Guidelines & Standard Settings

The following information covers some basic guidelines for

pressing, as well as some generic parameters for basic heat transfer

applications.

• When pressing shirts, it is often recommended that the shirts be quickly

pressed for 2 seconds before transferring to remove wrinkles and water

content. Make sure the plate template (3 sided aluminum tray) is NOT on

the pressing table when pressing fabrics. Only the silicone pad should be

on the table.

• When pressing two sides of a garment, pull the garment over the table so

that the printed side drapes underneath the table. This will avoid reheating

previously transferred designs on opposite sides of garments. It will also

avoid any bleed-through of inks on lighter fabrics.

• Avoid laying collars, cuffs, zippers, and other bulky parts of garments on

the lower table, as these can adversely affect pressing conditions, and reduce

the life of the silicone pad.

• Always check that the transfer image is face down against the material, to

avoid sealing the image against the heat platen instead of the substrate.

• When pressing rigid substrates (plastics, metals, woods, etc.), be sure

that any protective films or laminates are removed before heating.

• When pressing tiles, and other hard inconsistent shaped materials with

beveled edges, it is often necessary to use a heat conductive pad. This heat

conductive mat is included with the Digital Combo and is only used for tile

and related surfaces, and requires an additional 35°F to be added to the

temperature. Woods, metals, and plastics usually do not require the heat

conductive rubber mat.

• When pressing plates, the plate template (3 sided aluminum tray) should

be fitted over the table to protect the silicone pad. The grey circular rubber

pad should be adhered to the center of the template to center and cushion

the plate. Use the largest green rubber circle on top of the transfer, and

press between 4-5 minutes at 435°F with firm pressure.

Always follow the transfer media suppliers instructions when pressing. The

information below is for general reference only, and may not be as accurate as the

instructions provided by the transfer media & imprintable substrate supplier.

• Hot Split Supplier Transfers 350-375°F, 8-10 secs

• Puff Transfers 350-375°, 5-7 secs (extra heavy pressure)

• Ink-Jet Transfer Papers 360°, 15-18 secs

• ColorCopy/Laser Transfer Papers 375°, 20-25 secs

• Sublimation Inks (Polyester Fabrics) 400°, 35 secs

• Sublimation Inks (Plastics) 400°, 1 min, 15 secs

• Sublimation Inks (Metals) 400°, 1 min

• Sublimation Inks (Woods) 400°, 1 min, 15 secs

• Sublimation Inks (Ceramics) 435°, 4-5 min

Interchangeable Heat Platens

The main feature that makes the Digital Combo so versatile is

theinterchangeability of the heat platens. Because the heat platensare

modular in their method of connection, one platen can be unplugged

and another plugged in, in its place. The mechanical connection to the

clamp is no more than a simple quick release pin.

The following instructions apply to the 14x16, 12x14, cap, plate

&mug heat platen attachments. All of them disconnect and connect in

thesamemanner.

Removing a heat platen

• The heat platen can be safely disconnected

withthe machineon.However,thermalgloves

or oven mitts must be used when handling

hot heat platens.

• Unplug the modular connector (1st figure above).

This is done by unscrewing the safety lock

and pulling the connectors apart.

• Lowertheheat platensoit restsonthe bottom

table, and do not clamp it.

• Pulloutthequickrelease pinfrom thelinkage.

It is easiest to remove when there is no

pressureonthe side linksor on theheat platen

shaft.

• Once the quick release pin is removed, lift the

handle away, exposing the heat platen shaft

now disconnected from the linkage.

• Lift up on the heat platen slightly, enough to

swing it out away from the bottom table.

Lower the heat platen down and out of the

clamplinkage.

Attaching a heat platen

• The heat platen can be safely connected with

the machine on. However, thermal gloves or

oven mitts must be used when handling hot

heat platens.

• Lift the heat platen into the clamp linkage.

Make sure the rear guide fork holds onto the

guide pin in the back post of the frame. This

holds the heat platen in a straight position and

keeps it from rotating.

• Reattach the quick release pin through the

linkage and the heat platen shaft.

• Reconnect the modular connector. An Err

display might read on the controller if in the

Normal operating mode. If this is the case,

once the heat platen is reconnected, turn the

machine off and then on again.

Interchangeable Tables

The lower table on the machine is

interchangeable. Different sized optional

tables can be obtained for various

materials & handling requirements.

The tables simply fit right onto the

pedestal.The 2 holes in the drop on tables

& curved forms fit onto the 2 steel pins

onthepedestal.Oftentimesit is beneficial

toleaveoneofthesteelpinsslightlyloose

to make changing out tables easier. This

will not effect evenness of pressing or

table stability.

Cap Holddown Device

(included with cap attachment only)

Aligning the pedestal

There is a 1/2-moon cap holddown

device for stretching the cap over the

curved bottom table.

Simply pull the back strap of the cap

behind the pedestal and under the 1/2-

moon shaped bracket. This will hold the

cap in place for proper printing.

The table can be easily adjusted in a straight position if the heat

platendoesnotcorrectlyline up withthepressingsurface.Thepedestal

the table rests on can slide front to back on the base of the machine.

Loosen the screw in the gibb plates that holds the pedestal in place in

order to adjust its position.

The pedestal can also be slightly rotated in order to align with

the upper platen. Loosen all (4) screws holding the gibb plates in

place, position/rotate the pedestal to the desired place, and retighten

the gibb plates.
