SHIELD® Felts for Heat Transfer (Sublimation) Printing

Transfer Print Felt Installation

United States Supply has been intricately involved in the supply of these felts for over twenty-five years. We have developed and incorporated many improvements during this time to insure that our Transfer Printing Felts are the finest in the world.
Our Research and Development staff constantly evaluates new fibers, chemical treatments, and manufacturing processes to provide the highest quality and most economical felt available today.

Construction

  • ENDLESS - no seams or splices to mark-off or pull apart.
  • An Exceptionally Smooth Print Surface engineered to provide the sharpest print definition.
  • Superior Strength and Durability due to the fibers used, our needling technique and the density.
  • PRE-HEAT SET for excellent dimensional stability, which insures the ease of tracking.
  • Batt-on-Base construction - encompasses a woven endless scrim (base) with a needled surface (batt).

    • Styles

    • SUBLIME 7000® - recommended for felts up to 3.81 meters wide (150"). Density of 2,200 - 2,500 g/m2 with a standard thickness of 7- 8mm.
    • RYNO 9000® - recommended for high temperature and/or chemical applications. Density of 2,200 - 2,500 g/m2 with a standard thickness of 7 - 8mm.
    • Nomex® is the normal fiber used. Options are available, however, and custom felt development is welcomed.
