Key features

  • 4 × Epson i3200-A1 heads in CMYK at 720 × 1800 dpi - production-grade industrial printheads for long-run reliability.
  • Constant-tension feeding and wide anti-static pinch rollers for stable paper handling on long jobs.
  • Front-arc pre-heating and integrated aluminum cleaning station reduce banding and keep nozzles in good condition.
  • Heated drying + cooling fans allow continuous high-speed output without paper warping.

Transfer process

Print artwork onto sublimation paper → heat-press onto polyester fabric or sublimation-coated substrate at typically 185–205 °C for 40–60 s (adjust per fabric TDS). Standard for polyester, polyester blends and coated rigid substrates.

Who it’s for

Soft-signage printers, sportswear and swimwear manufacturers, home-textile producers (bedding, cushions, tablecloths) and contract sublimation bureaus needing 1.6–1.9 m roll-to-paper capacity in a single CMYK platform.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between HY-1704 and HY-2004?

Print width: HY-1704 is 1.6 m, HY-2004 is 1.9 m. Both use four Epson i3200-A1 heads in CMYK and the same 720 × 1800 dpi resolution. The HY-2004 has a slightly higher 2-pass speed (110 m²/h vs 106 m²/h) and a larger footprint.

What is the basic sublimation process?

Print artwork onto sublimation transfer paper → heat-press at typically 185–205 °C for 40–60 s onto polyester fabric or sublimation-coated substrates. Adjust temperature and time per the fabric TDS.

How fast is the HY-1704 in production?

Reference throughput: 106 m²/h at 2-pass, 80 m²/h at 3-pass, 53 m²/h at 4-pass, 33 m²/h at 6-pass. Actual speed depends on resolution, channels, ink coverage and feeding settings.

How do I reduce wrinkles and banding on long sublimation runs?

Tune the constant-tension feeding, roller pressure and front-arc preheat temperature. Keep paper dry and flat, and maintain ambient at 20–25 °C and 50–60% RH for stable feeding.

How much do the HY-1704 and HY-2004 cost?

Price depends on the width you choose (1.6 m HY-1704 or 1.9 m HY-2004) and configuration. Both share the same four i3200-A1 head platform, so the main variables are width, footprint and options.
