ROQ Impress P08C04-L4 Automatic Screen Printing Press – 4 Presses, 8 Stations, 4 Lasers
ROQ
ROQ Impress PRSS-IHPP08C04-L4 — the high-volume + full automation SKU from the ROQ Impress automated DTF & heat transfer press lineup. 8-station carousel with 4 programmable heat press heads and 4 laser positioning markers for millimeter-accurate transfer placement. Max pressing area of 400 × 500 mm (16″ × 20″) on every pallet. The P08C04 is the first Impress configuration that supports all three ROQ automation modules simultaneously — FEED + PEEL + PULL — giving you the option to run a fully hands-free line where a single operator only loads blank garments. Eight pallets, four programmable heat press heads, and the same 500 pcs/hr capability as the P06C03 but with the critical added flexibility that P06 configurations simply can’t match. Optional mixed hot + cold press configuration is also available at this tier. Ships with ROQ’s full v4 feature set: rubber top pallets, independent per-head controls, programmable touchscreen recipes, pressure uniformization, and single-plug integration with ROQ’s automation module ecosystem (FEED, PEEL, PULL).

ROQ Impress P08C04 — 8 stations, 4 heat presses, 4 laser markers
Who Should Buy This Configuration
Best fit: Shops planning full automation. The P08C04 is the minimum Impress SKU that supports all three automation modules running simultaneously — FEED for placement, PEEL for film removal, and PULL for garment unloading and stacking. If your goal is the fully hands-free workflow where a single operator only loads blank garments (letting FEED, PEEL, and PULL handle everything else), you need this SKU or the P10C05 flagship. P06C02 and P06C03 max out at 2 of 3 attachments. Also the right pick for shops needing mixed hot-peel and cold-peel capability on the same machine — this SKU optionally supports mixed-press, which isn’t available on either P06 variant. Larger footprint (10.2′ diameter) and heavier (884 kg) than the P06 configs, so confirm floor space and freight logistics at quote time.
✅ Supports All 3 Automation Modules Simultaneously
This P08C04 configuration supports all three ROQ automation modules running simultaneously: FEED (automatic transfer placement) + PEEL (automatic backing film removal) + PULL (automatic garment unload & stack). The P06 configurations are limited to any 2 of the 3 — so if you’re planning full hands-free automation, this is the minimum Impress SKU that supports it.
Compare All Three In-Stock Impress SKUs
All three in-stock SKUs ship with 4 laser positioning markers (L4) and share the same v4 template — rubber pallets, independent head keypad controls, programmable touchscreen, pressure uniformization, single-plug module integration. They differ in throughput, footprint, and — critically — how many automation modules each one supports. Tap any other SKU below to view its full page.

Same ROQ Impress PRSS-IHPP08C04-L4. Better Buying Experience.
An automatic ROQ press is a 15–20 year production investment — not a checkout-page decision. You deserve an equipment partner who’ll spec it right the first time, coordinate installation with experienced trades, and stand behind the purchase for the full life of the machine.

Built-to-Order at the ROQ Factory
Every ROQ press is custom-built in Portugal with decades of refinement. 8–14 weeks built-to-order from the ROQ factory in Portugal. Ask us about occasional in-stock demo units and trade-in opportunities that ship faster.
Key Features — ROQ Impress Configuration
🎯 4 Laser Positioning Markers (L4)
This SKU ships with 4 laser positioning markers — projected onto the pallets to show exactly where each transfer belongs before pressing. Eliminates operator guesswork, keeps placement consistent across every garment, and makes setup changes visual rather than trial-and-error. All three current ROQ Impress SKUs (P06C02-L4, P06C03-L4, P08C04-L4) carry the L4 designation for 4 lasers.
🔥 4 Programmable Heat Press Heads
Each of the 4 heat press heads is independently programmable via the touchscreen — dwell time, pressure, and temperature per head, per recipe. Each head also has its own keypad for Start/Stop/Rotate CW/Rotate CCW/Press overrides — useful for maintenance, troubleshooting, or running different recipes on different heads simultaneously.
🎡 8-Station Rotating Carousel
The 8-pallet carousel keeps garments moving through the press cycle continuously. While one pallet is being pressed, another is being loaded, another is being unloaded, and the rest are in transit. Throughput far exceeds what any shuttle or clamshell press can match.
🔴 Rubber Top Pallets — Even Pressure
Every pallet is rubber-topped to distribute pressure evenly across garments with thick seams, pockets, hoods, and other uneven surfaces. Hard-platen presses struggle with these; the rubber conforms gently and delivers consistent transfer adhesion.
🎨 Multi-Transfer Compatibility
Presses DTF, screen print transfers, digital/screen hybrid, vinyl, HTV, twill, rhinestones, foil, cad-cut, player numbers, and specialty transfers. Save pressure/temperature/dwell recipes per transfer type — switch jobs in seconds by recalling the right recipe.
🧠 Programmable Touchscreen with Recipe Memory
Everything programmable from a single touchscreen: per-head pressure, temperature, dwell time, and full job recipes. Save unlimited recipes for repeat jobs — chest-print recipe for tees, back-yoke recipe for hoodies, sleeve recipe for long-sleeves. One-tap recall between jobs.
❄️ Mixed Hot + Cold Press — Optional Upgrade Available
Optional mixed hot + cold press configuration is available on the P08C04 — run hot-peel transfers and cold-peel transfers on the same machine simultaneously with a dedicated dual-function station for each. Not available on P06 configurations. The flagship P10C05 includes mixed-press as standard; on P08C04 it’s an option to specify at order time. Ask us at quote if your job mix requires it.
🔌 Full ROQ Automation Ecosystem Compatible
Plugs into ROQ’s full automation module ecosystem. Add FEED for automated transfer placement, PEEL for automated film removal, and (on P08C04 / P10C05) PULL for automated garment unloading. Single-plug integration; all modules controlled from the Impress HMI.
💨 Pressure Uniformization Function
Integrated pressure-uniformization function applied automatically by the heat press ensures consistent application across every station. Eliminates the station-to-station variance that plagues manual multi-platen setups.
🔧 Low Utility Requirements
Runs on 47.1 l/min (99.7 ft³/h) compressed air at 3.5 bar operating pressure (6 bar work / 7 bar supply) and 63 A @ 3×230V or 32 A @ 3×400V electric draw. No special utilities — standard shop compressed air and 3-phase electric handle it.
🌍 Made in Portugal — ROQ Engineering
Manufactured at ROQ’s Oliveira de S. Mateus facility in Portugal alongside every other ROQ product. Same build quality, materials, and service support. Covered by the ROQ Solid Warranty: parts, labor, and technician travel.
Complete Your DTF Production Setup
The ROQ Impress is the application engine of a complete DTF production line — but it works even harder when paired with the two machines that produce the transfers it presses. Combine the Impress with the STS 24″ XPD-924D DTF Printer (the fastest dual-head DTF printer on the market) and the STS Automatic S20 Powder Shaker (even powder application with IR curing and HEPA filtration), and you’ve built a complete in-house DTF production business. Print your own transfers, shake your own powder, press at industrial scale — all under one roof, with zero reliance on outside transfer suppliers and unbeatable per-piece margins.
The 3-Step In-House DTF Production Workflow
STS 24″ XPD-924D prints your full-color CMYK+White artwork directly onto DTF film rolls.
Up to 188 ft²/hour · 1,200 DPI · dual AccuFine HD printheads · continuous white ink circulation.
POWDER
STS Automatic S20 Shaker evenly applies TPU adhesive powder to the wet ink, then cures it under IR heat — all automatically.
24″ width · HMI controls · HEPA filtration · no manual powder mess.
PRESS
ROQ Impress applies the finished transfers onto garments at industrial scale with automated precision.
Up to 600 pcs/hour · 2–5 heat press heads · laser placement · 1-operator workflow.
Build Your Complete DTF Production Line
Take It Further — See the Fully Automated Workflow
The 3 machines above give you a complete in-house DTF production line — but ROQ offers two add-on automation modules that bolt onto the Impress to automate the last remaining manual steps (transfer placement and film peeling). Watch the video below to see the fully-automated line in action:
Add-On Automation Modules — ROQ FEED, PEEL & PULL
These three optional ROQ modules bolt directly onto the Impress (standard module integration, controlled from the Impress HMI) to automate every manual step you saw in the video above. Add them to a P08C04 or P10C05 Impress and a single operator can run the entire line — loading blank garments while FEED places transfers, PEEL removes backing film, and PULL unloads and stacks the finished garments. Note: the P06C02 and P06C03 configurations support up to 2 of the 3 modules simultaneously; all three run on P08C04 and P10C05.
⚠️ Important compatibility note (per ROQ factory spec): The P06C02 and P06C03 configurations support any 2 of the 3 automation modules (FEED, PEEL, PULL) simultaneously. The P08C04 and P10C05 configurations support all 3 modules simultaneously for a fully hands-free line. Pick your Impress config based on how much automation you plan to add — we’ll walk you through it at quote time.
🎯 The fully hands-free workflow (P08C04 / P10C05): Operator loads blank garment → FEED places transfer → Impress presses → PEEL removes backing → PULL removes and stacks finished garment. One operator only loads blanks — everything else is automated.
🧾 DTF Consumables You’ll Also Need
The 3 machines above are your production line — but every transfer also needs matched consumables. River City Supply is an authorized STS & CCI dealer and stocks everything you need to keep the XPD-924D running at full production speed:
💡 Note: STS XPD2 cartridges are required for printhead warranty coverage on the XPD-924D. Use only OEM inks — aftermarket ink voids the warranty.
Complete In-House DTF Production — End-to-End Control, Maximum Margins
This 3-machine combination is the most complete in-house DTF production line we sell, and the one that pays back fastest for shops serious about DTF fulfillment. Here’s why it works:
💰 Unbeatable Per-Piece Margins
Printing transfers in-house dramatically reduces your transfer cost compared to buying pre-made DTF from a vendor. On meaningful volume, the cost savings alone typically cover the monthly financing payment on the entire 3-machine setup.
⚡ Same-Day Turnaround Capability
No waiting on transfer suppliers. Design, print, shake, and press in one continuous workflow — rush orders become a competitive advantage instead of an operational headache.
🎨 Full Quality & Color Control
You control the print resolution, ink density, color calibration, and powder application — not some third-party transfer supplier with their own quality variance. Brand consistency across every order.
🏭 Scales to Any Volume
STS printer at 188 ft²/hr feeds the Impress at 600 pcs/hr. Absorb print-on-demand orders, wholesale contract decoration, custom retail programs, or brand fulfillment — all on the same line without capacity bottlenecks.
👤 1–2 Operator Workflow
The entire line runs with 1–2 operators instead of the 6–10 needed for equivalent output on manual equipment. Labor cost per transfer drops dramatically, and training a replacement operator becomes much simpler.
📦 Ideal Customer Profiles
Print-on-demand fulfillment operations · custom retail and corporate apparel programs · multi-brand contract decoration shops · team sports and numbering specialists · shops supplementing existing screen printing with full-color DTF capability.
