Heat Press Machine Overview:

The correct press for you would depend on several factors, including the types of items you wish to heat apply onto, the work environment you have and the budget that you’re working within. As a guide, the following types cover most standard flat-bed heat presses: If the process you’re going to be using does require particularly heavy pressure, then the main thing to keep in mind is that it takes a well-built heat press, using sturdy framework and high-quality components to make a heat press which is capable not only of delivering heavy pressure but also of being able to withstand that pressure over time.

Pressure Adjustment: An adjustable pressure knob or lever is crucial for applying the right amount of pressure to different materials. The three main requirements to successfully apply a transfer are an accurate temperature, time and pressure. A commercial heat press can be calibrated to these requirements and maximise your efficiency, whereas you will not be able to perform anything accurately with a hobby press, such as a Cricut EasyPress, or a domestic iron.

What About Multi-Function Heat Presses

Threadable Lower Platen: A heat press is known as “threadable” when you can literally thread the fabric that you are going to print around theentire lower platen. You “thread” the garment by sliding it around the platen so that the area of the garment to be printed is laid flat and facing the upper platen, ready for heat pressing the design onto it. The threadable platen design also allows you to avoid seams, zippers and buttons when heat pressing, providing smooth, even pressure with less need for additional accessories, such as pillows or pads. The free-standing Heat Press Caddie™ stand version frees up counter space, leaving more room for layout and necessary heat printing accessories. As an alternative, you could also choose the Heat Press CounterCaddie™ stand for a more compact version which can be easily placed onto a counter space. The lasers can be used with any size heat platen, including specialised platens (e.g. sleeve platen) The most common flatbed heat transfer presses sizes are around 15×15 inch (38x38cm) which is a common size for Tshirt presses, and 15″ x 20″ (38x50cm), give or take an Inch or so.
