If you run a calender heat transfer printing line, you know one thing very clearly: the blanket felt belt is the heart of your production quality.
A worn, stretched, or inconsistent felt belt leads directly to:
That is exactly why more and more printing plant owners and production managers are switching to 8mm 100% Nomex® blanket felt belts.
Nomex® is a meta-aramid material known for:
In calender transfer printing, the blanket belt is repeatedly exposed to:
A standard polyester or blended felt degrades quickly under these conditions.
100% Nomex® maintains structure, flatness, and surface integrity over months of continuous production.
| Thickness | Typical Use | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| 6mm | light duty / slow line | less cushioning |
| 8mm | standard calender printing | optimal pressure + heat transfer |
| 10mm+ | heavy embossing | higher cost, slower response |
The 8mm thickness provides:
For calender lines running continuous sublimation transfer printing, 8mm is the industry-proven standard.
This 8mm 100% Nomex® blanket felt belt is designed to work directly on major calender heat transfer printing equipment, including but not limited to:
