A cloth support base includes a cloth support surface and a storage portion. The cloth support surface extends in a first and a second direction. The storage portion includes a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls. The plurality of side walls protrude from the bottom wall in a third direction. The bottom wall and the plurality of side walls form a storage space configured to store a storage object including at least one of water vapor and water. The plurality of side walls and the bottom wall form at least one groove. The at least one groove is configured to guide the storage object stored in the storage space to move to the outside of the storage space in the first direction and is configured to restrict the storage object stored in the storage space from moving to the outside of the storage space in the second direction.

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.

The invention relates to a printing machine and a method for printing textiles with a machine bed, at least one conveying means arranged on the machine bed for conveying at least one textile along a processing path, at least one priming means arranged on the machine bed for applying a primer in a planar manner on a motif region of the textile, on which a print motif is to be provided, and at least one printing means arranged on the machine bed and having at least one digital print head for printing the print motif. In accordance with the invention provision is made in that along the processing path between the priming means and the printing means at least one pressing means is arranged which is designed for pressing the motif region with the applied primer.

A method for knitting a three-dimensional fabric with variable thickness through a flat knitting machine includes the following steps: moving two cam groups and driving a plurality of knitting needles to knit a first piece of knitting by a starting cam system; moving the two cam groups and driving the plurality of knitting needles to knit a second piece of knitting by a middle cam system; and moving the two cam groups and driving the plurality of knitting needles to knit a supporting yarn by two tail cam systems respectively. The tail cam systems control each of a plurality of knock-over bit cams to move according to a gap size corresponding to a knitting length of the supporting yarn, so as to promptly change a thickness of the three-dimensional fabric along the length change of the supporting yarn.

A guide guides a movement of a platen from a set position P1 at which a recording medium is set on the platen to a press position P3 at which a heat press portion performs heat press operation on the recording medium. A distance from the set position P1 to the press position P3 is longer than a distance from the set position P1 to an application position P2 at which an application portion applies a pretreatment agent onto the recording medium set on the platen.
