A heat press including a body, a heat plate, a handle, a cover, a control compartment and an insulation portion. The body includes a first end and a second end. The heat plate is located proximate the first end of the body and is configured to engage ironable materials. The handle is located proximate the second end of the body and is configured to withstand forces from a user. The cover covers a portion of the body and the handle. The control compartment includes an electrical circuit, controls and a display. The control compartment is spaced away from and is at least indirectly electrically coupled to the heat plate. The insulation portion is positioned between the control compartment and the heat plate. The insulation portion includes a first layer of insulating material.

A system includes a transfer press that includes upper and lower platens, and a support head that moves the upper platen between an open and closed position. The system includes a set of sensors for sensing a pressure and a temperature during operation of the transfer press. The system includes a controller that receives the pressure and the temperature, and the controller includes a transceiver communicatively connected to a network to transmit the pressure and temperature. The system includes a first hardware processor communicatively connected to the transfer press via a network, configured to receive the transmitted pressure and temperature from the controller and store in a database. The system includes a second hardware processor communicatively connected to the transfer press and to the database, the second hardware processor configured to revise a temperature and a pressure setting for the transfer press based on data from the database.

System with at least two layers as a mean or system for transferring electrically conductive ink adapted to receive and transfer said ink on a textile substrate by a thermal transfer.

Apparatus for picking a garment having a front and a back and placing the garment over a pallet such that the front and the back of the garment are on the front and the back sides respectively of the pallet. The apparatus comprises a picking arm to approach the garment and then withdraw towards the pallet; and one or more adherence locations on the picking arm, the adherence location being smaller than the first side, the adherence location for contacting the garment and causing adherence of the garment at the contact location, thereby causing the picking arm to pull the front of the garment over the front of the pallet, the back of the garment sliding under the first side onto the back of the pallet. Adherence may involve freezing.

A transfer medium producing apparatus is equipped with an ink ejection unit 20 that ejects ink onto a peelable sheet, an adhesive solution application unit 30 that applies an adhesive solution onto the peelable sheet onto which the ink has been ejected, and a control unit 2 that controls the ejection of ink and the application of the adhesive solution to be performed by a wet on wet method.
