What is a heat transfer press?

A flat heat transfer press is a transfer printing machine for printing on flat-surfaced items such as T-shirts, puzzles, pillows, natural stone, flags, bags, towels and plaques. Whether the item is made of wood, glass, fabric or ceramic makes no difference to how the press is used.

Key features

On presses intended for professional use, digital controls make the printing process easy and repeatable:

  • Digital time control
  • Temperature adjustment
  • Pressure adjustment

With these settings you can complete each print in a controlled way.

What to consider when choosing a press

Two criteria matter most when choosing a flat heat transfer press: how often it will be used and the dimensions of the items to be printed.
