A flatbed press, in the context of printing or heat transfer applications, refers to a type of printing machine with a flat, horizontal surface on which the printing substrate, such as paper or fabric, is placed for processing. This press is commonly used in various industries for tasks like screen printing, heat transfer printing, and certain types of lithographic printing. Unlike cylindrical or rotary presses, the flatbed press allows for precise and consistent application of ink or heat across the entire surface of the substrate. This makes it well-suited for printing on a diverse range of materials and ensuring accurate registration for multi-color designs. Flatbed presses are often chosen for their versatility, enabling the production of high-quality prints on flat surfaces, and they find applications in areas ranging from textile and apparel printing to promotional product manufacturing.
