The 7616 has been sold for over two decades for the continious printing of narrow web fabrics from shoe laces to seat belts. The transport belt on the machine is 16'' wide. The machine comes with 5 lanes for the substrate/transfer paper. The transfer paper for high production sublimation printing has traditionally been produced on ''flexo-graphic'' printing presses.

In recent years, digital ink jet printers have made short run and customized printing a reality. The 7616 is designed to operate equally as well with either process. The new oil heated drum system allows high production speeds with minimum fluctuation of temperature across the width.
