The Hotronix® Stampinator® 480 is a high-production in-line heat press and flash cure solution for automatic textile screen printing presses. For UK screen printers searching for a Stampinator, Stampinator 480 or Stampinator UK solution, it offers a compact way to add pressing, curing and transfer application directly to an existing automatic textile press.

Designed for screen printers who want to increase production speed, improve print quality and add more finishing capability without expanding their footprint, the Stampinator 480 integrates directly into the printhead position of most major automatic textile screen printing presses.
