MHM Direct GB: Tesoma Dryers Tesoma gas dryers are 100% German-made and, according to UK distributor MHM Direct GB, efficient and reliable. Tesoma pays close attention to energy efficiency, reports MHM, and provides detailed data analysis, including burner efficiency, heat constancy and overall performance. “With the high volume hot air re-circulation system and integrated insulation, these dryers are the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient available, with statistics to back it up,” explains MHM. “The dryers are also ‘cool to touch’ on the outside with minimal heat loss for a better working environment. In fact, they are so well insulated, there is no need for additional fans to cool the outer skin – another maintenance headache removed.” Tesoma dryers can be used to dry both conventional screen printing ink and digital inks; high volume digital printer Spreadshirt, which has 45 Brother GTX printers, uses Tesoma dryers. MHM adds: “Customers are reporting that the ‘cure’ is simply better, resulting in excellent wash-fastness and brighter colours.” Fully qualified technicians and parts are readily available in more than 100 countries worldwide. “Thanks to excellent foresight, superb build quality and flawless reliability, Tesoma is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of textile dryers and the premier choice for quality-conscious screen printers,” concludes MHM. www.mhmdirect.co.uk Tesoma dryers on the factory floor at Spreadshirt DRYERS, CALENDARS AND HEAT PRESSES www.images-magazine.com 48 images MAY 2018 "With the growing demand for personalisation at an all-time high, TheMagicTouch offers a unique heat press designed for transferring images onto thicker products," says managing director Jim Nicol. "Over the past six months TheMagicTouch has perfected the full-colour transfer process to a range of stools, tables and other wooden products, creating yet another unique opportunity for the users of the technology." The Insta 256Plus manual swing-away heat press machine with its adjustable 40 x 50cm platen enables items up to 35mm thick to be evenly decorated. Jim continues: "The market for personalised stools, tables and wooden products generally is huge and covers many markets. Our new idea for a birth stool is something we believe will be a must-have product for any newly born child as a keepsake for the rest of their lives." The Insta 256Plus evenly distributes high pressure throughout the entire platen. Its cast-in tubular heating element heats the metal from within for a consistent and long-lasting heat and is supported with a lifetime guarantee. The press is made from a combination of materials, which makes it lightweight without sacrificing the strength and durability for which Insta machines are known, adds Jim. www.themagictouch.co.uk The new Insta 256Plus heat press from TheMagicTouch TheMagicTouch: Insta 256Plus Manual Swing-Away Heat Press
