InnoPrinter, a European manufacturer of industrial heat transfer systems, and Supply55, Inc., a North American distributor of workflow automation equipment, have announced a strategic partnership to introduce InnoPrinter's complete line of MK semi-automatic industrial heat presses and roll slitters to the North American market. The announcement was made on June 18, 2026, from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
For over 25 years, InnoPrinter has designed and manufactured continuous roll-format heat transfer systems in Europe. The company's technology is engineered to eliminate the most labor-intensive stages of transfer production by streamlining workflow and removing the need for cutting and sorting during the heat application process. The heat presses are fully compatible with direct-to-film (DTF), sublimation, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, and HP Indigo transfers, making them a versatile solution for various production environments.
The partnership addresses key challenges facing North American manufacturers, including rising labor costs and increasing production demands. Simon Holt of InnoPrinter stated, "The challenges facing manufacturers in North America are very similar to those we've already helped solve across Europe. Rising labor costs and increasing production demands are driving the need for greater automation. InnoPrinter is a proven solution that increases throughput, improves consistency and reduces manual handling, and we're excited to bring that capability to North America through Supply55."
InnoPrinter's technology is designed for fast, consistent performance across multiple applications, including apparel and soft goods such as T-shirts, sportswear, workwear, and accessories; labels and compliance items like neck labels, country-of-origin labels, and size labels; caps and specialty products such as baseball caps, footwear components, and leather goods. By utilizing a continuous roll-to-roll transfer delivery system, InnoPrinter eliminates manual handling of transfers and increases production efficiency, enabling manufacturers and decorators to increase throughput, improve consistency, and lower operating costs.
