Stahls' Unveils Twin Timer Feature

May 12, 2008

Stahls' ID Direct, St. Clair Shores, Mich., recently unveiled the Twin Timer feature on the company's Hotronix Auto Open heat press line. The new feature allows the user to program two independent time settings to count down for any two-step process without resetting the timer and is ideal for two-color heat-applied graphic applications, pre-heating garments prior to imprinting and texturing.

"For decades the dual time setting feature was exclusive to our popular Hotronix Air Swinger brand," says Ben Robinsons, director of operations. "Loyal Hotronix brand users have come to rely on this feature, and with the advancements in today's graphics for textiles and methods for imprinting, we added the Twin Timer feature to our Hotronix Auto Open line to meet our customers' needs."
