Frequently Asked Questions
The InkOne C1 is a heat press specifically designed for customising caps and curved-surface products. Its structure allows heat and pressure to be applied evenly across the front panel of the cap, something that cannot be achieved with a standard flat heat press. It is mainly intended for heat transfer techniques such as sublimation on prepared caps, DTF and other systems compatible with curved surfaces.
With the InkOne C1 cap press, it is possible to personalise most common cap types on the market, provided they are suitable for heat transfer. This includes cotton, polyester and blended caps, as well as structured and semi-structured models. The key requirement is that the material can withstand the working temperature and that the cap has a suitable front panel for pressing.
Although it is optimised for caps, the InkOne C1 can also be used for other small items with a curved surface and similar shape, as long as they fit correctly on the pressing base. It does not replace a flat or multifunction heat press, but it is a specialised solution that delivers better results when cap customisation is the main focus.
The interchangeable platens for the InkOne C1 are designed to adapt to different cap shapes and styles. They allow the working surface to be adjusted to the exact form of the product, improving heat and pressure distribution during the transfer process. Thanks to these dedicated platens, it is possible to work more accurately with caps of different sizes, structures and profiles, achieving more uniform and professional finishes than with a standard platen.
The main difference lies in adaptation to the curved shape of the cap. A flat heat press cannot apply even pressure on curved surfaces, which can result in poor adhesion or wrinkles. The InkOne C1 is specifically designed to match the shape of the cap, improving finish quality and reducing errors, especially in repeated production runs.
If the main objective is cap customisation, a dedicated press like the InkOne C1 offers greater precision, comfort and productivity than a multifunction press. Multifunction presses aim to cover multiple applications but often compromise fit and stability on curved products. The InkOne C1 is designed for users who want to focus on this type of product and achieve professional results.
Using original InkOne interchangeable platens with the C1 provides clear advantages in terms of quality and versatility. Being able to adapt the platen to the type of cap reduces the risk of wrinkles, uneven transfers or inconsistent pressure. These accessories are specifically engineered to work seamlessly with the InkOne C1, ensuring stability, safety and consistent results. For workshops that personalise different cap models or work on demand, interchangeable platens allow the product range to expand without changing equipment.
Yes, the InkOne C1 is designed to be easy to use even for beginners entering the customisation market. Temperature and time controls are intuitive, and the machine design helps position the cap correctly from the first use. This shortens the learning curve and allows users to start producing with fewer errors compared to non-specialised solutions.
The InkOne C1 represents a moderate investment within the personalisation sector, especially when compared to more complex equipment. For businesses looking to offer customised caps as a main or complementary product, it is a cost-effective solution with a fast return on investment thanks to the high added value of the final product.
Yes, the InkOne C1 is designed to handle continuous use in a customisation workshop. It supports repeated cycles while maintaining stable temperature, which is essential for on-demand work or small production runs. This makes it suitable for both occasional jobs and promotional campaigns.
