Abstract: Sublimation transfer apparatus of the type using a heated solid head which is adaptable to print on cylindrical objects of varying diameters and, yet, providing sufficient and uniform distribution of pressure is described. A solid head in which metal inserts matching the curvilinear surface of the head to permit the head to accept cylindrical objects of varying diameter is described. An apparatus which is usable on different size cylindrical objects by the mechanism of spring tension elements in cooperation with the solid head is described.
