🤝 Designed Specifically for the ROQ Impress

The FEED is a dedicated add-on module for the ROQ Impress automated heat transfer press. It bolts onto the Impress, connects via a single plug, and is controlled entirely from the Impress HMI — no separate software, no separate controller, no calibration headaches. When you’re ready to scale your Impress operation, FEED is the first upgrade.

🤖 Automatic Transfer Placement — Eliminates Manual Labor

Instead of an operator manually picking up each transfer and positioning it on the garment (the #1 labor-intensive step in DTF production), the FEED does it automatically. Picks up the transfer, separates it from the stack, and precisely places it onto the substrate ready for pressing. Consistent placement every time. No fatigue drift as the shift progresses.

🎯 Integrated Y-Axis Control

Fine-tune the Y-axis placement position from the Impress HMI. Dial in exact placement for chest prints, sleeve prints, tote bag centers, hoodie backs — save the setting as a recipe and recall it for the next run. Manual X-axis adjustment lets you offset placement without reprogramming.

🧲 Central Suction Cup for Small Transfers

Small transfers (pocket logos, sleeve prints, neck tags) are notoriously difficult to handle with vacuum placement systems. The FEED has a central suction cup specifically designed for small transfers — pickup, separation, and placement work reliably even on transfers down to the minimum tray size.

📐 Adjustable Transfer Tray — 150×150mm to 400×500mm

The adjustable tray accommodates transfers from as small as 150mm × 150mm (roughly 6″ × 6″) up to 400mm × 500mm (roughly 15.7″ × 19.7″ — matches most full-front graphic sizes). Smaller sizes available on request for specialty applications. One FEED handles almost every transfer size you’ll run.

💾 Job Recipe Memory Via Impress HMI

Every placement setup can be saved as a named recipe and recalled instantly for repeat jobs. Chest-print recipe for t-shirts, sleeve recipe for long-sleeves, back-yoke recipe for hoodies — one-tap recall on the Impress touchscreen. Dramatically reduces setup time on job changeovers.

🔌 Single-Plug Integration

Physically connects to the Impress via a single plug. No separate electrical drop, no pneumatic routing, no network cable, no secondary controller. Powered by the Impress, controlled by the Impress. Install is plug-and-go.

🔄 Easily-Removable Guide Rail

Need to run a one-off specialty job that doesn’t work with the FEED? Remove the guide rail in seconds and run manual placement on the Impress. Reinstall when you’re ready to resume automated production. Maximum flexibility for shops with varied job mixes.

⏱️ ROI — Labor Savings Pay Back the Investment

The FEED eliminates one full manual labor station from your Impress production line. For shops running 500+ transfers per hour on the Impress, the operator labor savings typically recover the FEED investment within 12–24 months — before counting the consistency gains that reduce re-press and waste.

🎯 Consistent Precision Placement

Manual placement varies with operator fatigue, distraction, and skill. FEED delivers the same placement accuracy on transfer #500 as on transfer #1. No drift, no “oops, that one’s a bit crooked,” no reprinting due to bad placement. Brand-critical accuracy at scale.

📦 Works With DTF, Screen Transfers, Digital/Screen Hybrid

The FEED isn’t DTF-only. It handles the same transfer types the Impress presses — DTF, screen print transfers, digital/screen hybrid transfers, and specialty transfers in the supported size range. Versatile automation across your full job mix.

🎯 Three Variants — FEED, FEED+, FEED DUAL

ROQ offers three FEED variants to match your production volume. FEED is the standard single-tray version. FEED+ adds enhanced agility and simplified operation. FEED DUAL is the flagship — dual-tray loading lets you stage two transfer batches simultaneously for uninterrupted production in high-volume workflows, multi-feed applications, and maximum autonomy between operator touches. All three plug into the Impress the same way; pick based on your production speed and load-balancing needs.
