TCAP 6" x 6" Upper & Lower Heated Platen

In short: The TCAP 6" x 6" Upper & Lower Heated Platen is an optional accessory platen set for the MicroTec USA TCAP-S heat press, sold for $259.00 at Roman Empire Print Supplies. Because it heats from both the top and bottom, it is made for shops pressing thicker labels, emblems, raised or layered patches, and double-sided or specialty small-format transfers where a single-heated setup may not deliver even results.

6" x 6" Upper & Lower Heated Platen For TCAP-S

The optional 6" x 6" Upper and Lower Heated Platen Set is specially designed for the TCAP-S Heat Press, expanding the machine's capabilities for more demanding and specialty applications. With both upper and lower heating, it delivers more balanced and efficient heat transfer, especially when working with thicker labels, patches, and materials that require deeper or more even heat penetration.

This platen set is ideal for applications where a standard single-heated setup may not deliver the best results. By applying heat from both the top and bottom, it helps improve transfer quality, reduce uneven heating, and support materials that require more consistent temperature distribution during pressing.

It is especially suitable for:

Thicker labels and emblems
Raised or layered patches
Double-sided transfer applications
Small-format items requiring more precise heat control
Specialty materials that benefit from balanced heating

The 6" x 6" heated platen set gives your TCAP-S greater versatility, allowing it to go beyond standard cap decoration and handle a wider range of label, patch, and specialty transfer jobs with greater consistency and efficiency.
