Heat Press Machine

A heat press is a machine engineered to imprint a design or graphic on a substrate, such as a t-shirt, with the application of heat and pressure for a preset time period

A heat press is a type of machine that utilizes heat in order to apply designs onto various substrates. It uses a combination of pressure from the heated upper platen onto the lower platen in order to achieve its results. The majority of presses are used to apply heat transfers onto a range of garments.

Manual heat presses are the most common type of heat press. A manual heat press requires the user to physically open and close the heat press when the timer goes off. There is no great difference in the results if you brought an automatic.

Sublimation printing with heat transfers uses a special type of ink that actually ingrains itself into the fabric, unlike regular heat transfers, giving the images and graphics an even longer lifespan. Sublimation heat press machines have the ability to reach the temperature and pressure levels needed for sublimation.
