Cure and press with one machine

The Ricoma HP-1620 supports both stages of the DTF heat-application process.

Cure your DTF prints

The heated upper platen can hover above the printed and powdered DTF film without touching it. This provides the heat needed to melt and cure the adhesive powder.

Apply your transfers

Once cured, place the DTF transfer onto your chosen garment and use the machine in pressing mode to apply it. The adjustable time, temperature and pressure controls help you achieve consistent results across different garments.

Key features

Adjustable hover function

Cure DTF adhesive powder by positioning the heated upper platen above the film without making direct contact.

Large 16" × 20" platen

The generous 40 × 50 cm working area accommodates large designs or multiple smaller transfers.

Automatic opening

The heat press opens automatically when the programmed cycle finishes, helping to prevent over-pressing and making production easier.

Touchscreen controls

Quickly set and manage your pressing time and temperature using the touchscreen control panel.

Adjustable pressure

Fine-tune the pressure to suit different garments, transfer materials and fabric thicknesses.

Even heat distribution

Consistent heat across the full platen helps deliver reliable curing and pressing results.

Flat and tubular loading

Load garments flat or position them around the lower platen so that only one side is pressed. This helps avoid unwanted pressure on seams, zips and the reverse side of the garment.

Frequently asked questions

Can this machine cure DTF prints?

Yes. The adjustable hover function allows the heated platen to remain above the powdered DTF film without touching it, providing the heat needed to cure the adhesive.

Can it also press transfers onto garments?

Yes. After curing the film, use the machine in pressing mode to apply the finished transfer to your garment.

Does it replace a separate curing oven?

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. Its touchscreen controls, automatic opening and straightforward settings make it suitable for new users as well as established garment-decoration businesses.
