Large Format Sublimation Presses

Yes, a Solo to Twin conversion kit is available specifically for this purpose, letting you add a second platen to an existing Solo unit rather than replacing the entire press. This is worth considering if you're starting with Solo now but expect volume to grow, since the conversion path avoids a full equipment replacement down the line.

Voltage configuration matters significantly here. These presses are available in 220V/3-phase and 380-415V/3-phase configurations, and installing the wrong voltage version for your facility's electrical service isn't something that can be corrected after purchase without significant rework. Confirm your facility's available power configuration with an electrician before ordering, since this is one of the most consequential specs to get right upfront on equipment at this scale.

"Near edge to edge transfer capability" means the press can apply heat and pressure close to the full edge of the platen rather than leaving a noticeable untransferred border around the printed area, which matters significantly for all-over textile prints or designs meant to extend to the fabric's edge. For smaller centered designs that don't need to reach the material's edge, this capability matters less, but for full-coverage sublimation work, it's a meaningful factor in finished print quality.

Uneven pressure distribution or inconsistent transfer results across the platen can stem from either a worn pad or a platen that's drifted out of level calibration over time. If swapping in a fresh HIX replacement pad doesn't resolve uneven results, the platen itself may need professional realignment rather than other parts replacement.
