Sefa Slide 1285 125cm x 85cm Heat Press

The SEFA Slide 1285 125cm x 85cm Heat Press is a large-format pneumatic heat press built for professional sublimation and transfer production on oversized textiles and rigid substrates. Developed in partnership with ChromaLuxe®, the Slide 1285 features a massive 125 x 85 cm (49" x 33") platen with a 120 x 80 cm (48" x 32") usable pressing area, providing the capacity needed for large panels, oversized graphics, and high-definition sublimation work.

The Slide 1285 uses two independent concentric heating zones to help maintain even temperature distribution across the oversized platen. This is especially important when producing large sublimated panels, where consistent heat across the entire transfer area is critical for uniform color and image quality.

Its pneumatic pressing system features dual cylinders to help distribute pressure evenly across the platen, while the lower platen slides almost completely out from beneath the heating area. This front-loading design gives operators excellent access for positioning large transfer sheets, textiles, aluminum panels, MDF, wood, tile, and other rigid substrates before pressing.

With support for materials up to 45 mm thick, pressure up to 386 g/cm², and a powerful 12,000 W heating system, the Slide 1285 is engineered for demanding large-format production. Its 400 V three-phase power requirement reflects the machine's industrial-scale heating capacity and makes it well suited for professional facilities handling high-value oversized sublimation work.

SEFA's large touchscreen control panel provides precise PID temperature regulation, four recordable programs, a dual timer, programmable preheating, a resettable production counter, and energy-saving functionality. Designed and manufactured in France, the Slide 1285 is an excellent choice for professional sublimation businesses that need reliable heat and pressure across very large transfer areas.
