INO A6 Screen Printing Machine | High-Speed Flatbed Printing
INO A6 Screen Printing Machine – Core Engine for High-Volume Heat Transfer and Flatbed Production
The INO A6 is a high-speed, precision-driven flatbed screen printing machine built to meet the demands of industrial-scale heat transfer and flat sheet printing. It serves as the core print module within the fully integrated INO HT Line — a comprehensive, automated platform developed to streamline every stage of textile heat transfer production.
With camera-based substrate registration and automated screen positioning, the A6 ensures perfect print alignment across a wide range of substrates, including PET, coated films, and flexible media. Whether you're producing heat transfers for apparel, multicolor sportswear graphics, high-build 3D prints, or hybrid textile transfers, the A6 enables precise, repeatable results in high-throughput production environments.
Combining the Best of Screen and Digital Printing
The INO HT Line, powered by the A6, is designed to merge the durability and reliability of traditional screen printing with the flexibility of digital workflows. This hybrid approach allows manufacturers to produce short runs, long runs, and fully customized jobs with minimal setup time and virtually no compromise on quality.
Supporting full-line automation, the A6 integrates with:
- POWDER P5 for hot melt powder application
- DRY D6 energy-efficient conveyor dryer with IR and UV options
- STACK S3 automatic sheet stacker with precise alignment
This modular layout delivers a complete, closed-loop production system optimized for textile heat transfers and other precision screen printing applications.
Solving the Real Challenges in Heat Transfer Printing
- Balancing Quality and Cost
Manufacturers today must deliver superior product quality without sacrificing cost efficiency. The A6 automates critical steps, reduces screen changeover time, minimizes material waste, and increases throughput per shift—ultimately reducing the cost per transfer while improving overall output quality. - Enabling Personalization at Scale
The A6 allows printers to switch effortlessly between large production batches and personalized short runs. Quick setups and tool-free changeovers support a wide variety of print formats—ideal for on-demand graphics, team sportswear, brand customization, and regionalized SKUs. - Simplified Operation with Limited Experience
As skilled screen operators become harder to find, the A6 delivers consistent, high-quality output with minimal human intervention. Built-in recipe-based workflows, automated alignment, and intuitive software interfaces enable teams of any experience level to produce professional-grade results with confidence.
Application Versatility and Performance You Can Trust
- The A6 is engineered to handle some of the most demanding print applications in the industry:
- Hybrid textile transfers – perfect image alignment between digitally printed graphics and screen-printed adhesive back layers
