  • Patent number: 7520219
    Abstract: A method of transfer printing from a web of foil or flock onto a garment mounted on the pallet of a rotary screen printing machine. A heat press machine with a web feed attachment mounted on the upper platen of the heat press is provided at one printing station of a rotary screen printing machine. The foil feed direction is in the same direction as the direction of rotation of the rotary printing machine. A pallet with a garment is brought into register with the heat press and the upper platen is lowered to apply the transfer to said garment. The upper platen is raised and the printing machine is indexed so that the pallet arms are rotated and the next pallet with a garment is brought into register with the heat press. The foil web is also indexed so that the next sequential foil area is in register with the garment on the pallet.
