Overview: Secabo TC5 LITE modular transfer press 38cm x 38cm

Best performance and high comfort with the Secabo LITE series - With this new development of the successful Secabo TC5 toggle press, Secabo is launching a lucrative modular system that opens up a host of new possibilities for users. A plus in flexibility due to easily exchangeable components, in short a basic product with great upgrade options. The new LITE models therefore have the advantage of being able to upgrade individual base plates or heating plates as needed in a cost-saving manner and to easily exchange components. Secabo's TC5 LITE transfer press is a modular automatic opening toggle press. The user does not have to wait next to the press during transfers, but can pursue other activities. After the set time has elapsed, the press opens automatically and announces this three seconds in advance with an acoustic signal. The pressing process can be interrupted at any time at the push of a button - for example to prepress textiles. Temperature and pressing time are conveniently preselected via a digital controller. The pressing pressure is set via a large handwheel on the top of the heating plate. The TC5 LITE heat press, with a work surface of 38cm x 38cm, has an additional cover plate on the heating plate to protect the user from burns. The construction of the TC5 LITE is fully modular, control unit, heating plate, base plate and base frame can be disassembled and exchanged in a few simple steps. This also allows the use of other heating plates, for example. The LITE transfer presses offer everything that makes textile transfers with Secabo so convenient. All professional applications of the common hot transfer processes such as flock foils, flex foils, sublimation, InkJet-Flex, etc. are of course possible. The Secabo TC5 LITE can be optionally equipped with interchangeable plates in various formats - including a membrane base plate, a quick-change system as well as a slide extension for use as a double plate press. Furthermore, with the TC5 LITE you also have the possibility to upgrade to our Secabo TC-SMART series.

Intelligent display functions and simple control concept

Our LITE models are equipped with electronics developed based on Secabo's extensive industry know-how. The digital controller for temperature and time allows you to make the desired settings easily and quickly. And of course you can switch between C° and F°. The control concept has been deliberately kept simple to enable the user to handle the press even more effectively.

State-of-the-art press design and mechanics

The LITE generation of the well-known models TC5 and TC7 convinces with a very intelligent design and construction. When selecting the processed components, attention was paid to high-quality materials and surfaces. Both LITE presses have a modular design and can be optionally equipped quickly and easily with interchangeable platens in various formats, with a quick-change system and a slide extension. The hot platen has been fitted with an additional guard plate. The compact dimensions and modular design allow disassembly into lightweight packages for transport and shipping.

A basic product with great upgrade options

With the Secabo LITE version, you have numerous options to create your own ideal work tool. Due to the modular design, our LITE models can also be converted to the SMART model. In addition, you can also upgrade with the passive membrane bottom plate. The membrane can be easily inflated via a small blower ball. This allows you to determine the maximum compensation height of the membrane for a transfer. The contact pressure is set as usual on the transfer press, for example via a handwheel on the heating plate. The possibilities are therefore diverse and easy to implement individually according to your needs with the LITE version.

applications for heat presses

designing like the pros - using heat transfer presses

What is a heat press?

A heat press, transfers text, logos or images onto different materials. The device works with pressure as well as heat in order to achieve long-lasting results. A heat press is like a large iron, but with more pressure and more intensive heat. Heat presses are suited for a wide range of transfer processes.


finishing of garments with flock and flex

motives from flock or flex material or decals can be transferred to garments with the heat press. E.g. soccer jerzys can be decorated with names, numbers or the club's logo

sublimation transfer:

In this process, the heat press transfers graphics, photos and texts that have been printed on a commercially available printer to polyester materials. Printing requires nothing more than special sublimation inks. The heat created by the heat press causes the ink to dye polyester materials. In addition to clothing, this procedure is also suitable for individually designing cups, puzzles, mouse pads, tableware and much more. Please note that this procedure should only be used on bright, preferably white materials, to facilitate a realistic color reproduction.

Inkjet flex:

A design is cut out of an inkjet flex foil and then transferred to a piece of clothing using a heat press. The highlight: Regular ink from a normal printer is preserved by special varnish beads inside the inkjet flex foil through the transfer process. This facilitates the production of durable textile finishes in photo quality with simplest means. One might, for example, design a soccer fan shirt with a country pennant.such as a country pennant on a soccer fan shirt, etc.

Chromablast Transfer:

A design is cut out of an inkjet flex foil and then transferred to a piece of clothing using a heat press. The highlight: Regular ink from a normal printer is preserved by special varnish beads inside the inkjet flex foil through the transfer process. This facilitates the production of durable textile finishes in photo quality with simplest means. One might, for example, design a soccer fan shirt with a country pennant.such as a country pennant on a soccer fan shirt, etc.

Why do I need a heat press?

The uses and possibilities of a heat press are as diverse as the various different transfer methods that exist. Heat presses allow both professionals and ambitious hobbyists to make their personal design ideas a reality, such as for example:

Creative design of cups and mugs
Individual design of mouse pads
Processing and design of clothing such as T-shirts, jackets or sweaters, for example, for bands, schools, work clothes, designer collections
durable garment decoration with motives from flock or flex - ideal for sport clubs
Creation of personal Hat
Design your own towels and bathroom textiles
Creative design of large-scale photo motifs on bathroom or kitchen tiles
create your individual bags

Which is the right heat press for my projects?

When choosing the appropriate heat press, the shape of the receiving material and the size of the objects to be transferred are key factors. Folding presses or swing presses are used to finish flat materials, such as textiles or tiles, with a personalized design. The Secabo TC 2 heat press, for example, is a reliable entry-level folding press for smaller designs. The Secabo TC 5 heat press is suitable for larger designs. There are special mug presses that perfectly adapt to the shape of a mug to allow for creating an individualized mug collection, such as the Secabo TMUG heat press.
