Impressions can it do per hour

It all depends on you and / or your operators. For tag-less tee shirts the average is about 1000-1500. Least we have seen is about 700 per hour and the most we have seen is 2150 per hour. For promotional products it is much easier to load so this means they are averaging over 1350.

Am I responsible for Customs and Duty Charges?

Yes. Customs and duties are implemented by your government when products are imported into your country. These charges are out of ASPE Inc. control.

Does this machine require air?

Yes, our machines print heads all require about 90-110 psi, dry air. Each machine does no more than 3 cfm. For exact information please see product page. The indexing system is all electric.

Can you operate this machine with one operator?

Yes, we actually have printers that are doing this and they are still doing 600-1000 per hour.

Curing

For tag-less t-shirts, most plastisol inks will last about 10-15 industrial washes. We suggest printing the tags first and then the front of the shirt afterward, that way the t-shirt only goes through the dryer once. The option is low cure ink to, for delicate color, like white on black. Or water-based ink, with a cold-cure catalysator.

Maintenance on machine

Light bulbs will last you 2000 hours. You want to put high-temperature red grease in the gears every 3-4 months. Also, keep track of pneumatic tool oil in the lubricator.

Print on Plastic

Yes, we will make the machine so it will print and cure UV inks. This is considered a custom job.

Print Area

Your max print size is 6 x 6 inches for a standard RapidTag machine. The XL series has a max print area of 10 x 10 inches. YOU need larger, let us know, we do! Contact us
