Choosing the Best Heat Press Machine is Essential!

Your Heat Press Transfer Machine is the most important asset in your t-shirt business. Choosing the best heat press machine that is going to last for years as well as provide trouble free heat transfer garment application is a must! You need a transfer press that provides even pressure all over the platen as well as even heat distribution from side to side and top to bottom

.

A quality heat press needs to do at least three things. You need Time, Temperature and Pressure to make any custom heat transfer, rhinestone transfer or sublimation transfer apply correctly. Insta machines from Best Heat Transfers.com,provide the most accurate time, temperature and pressure available.

Before choosing any press, you should have an idea of which types of transfers you will be applying to either fabric or a polyester coated substrate for use with sublimation. If your planning on printing custom t-shirts, custom tote bags or a promotional product , you should consider a heat press that has interchangeable lower platens. One of the best heat press transfer machines is from Insta. Insta swing-away heat press machines offer this feature. For example, lets say you want to print a 4″ x 6″ pocket on the front of a duffle bag. If you try this with a clamshell style heat press, you will have all sorts of problems because you can not load the bag over the large sized platen. By offering several interchange size options, you can easily slip the bag under the smaller platen.  This eliminates the chance of damaging the product.

Another important item to consider is worker fatigue. A manual heat press machine requires upper body strength to lock down the handle as raise it up once the timer goes off.  If you plan on printing several dozen shirts per hour, your workers will get a “work out”.  An automatic heat press transfer machine is the solution for eliminating worker fatigue.  The worker simply lays down the garment and the platen and presses 2 buttons which engages the automatic platen.  The automatic heat press raises the platen once the dwell time ends.  This is all done effortlessly providing the highest pressure possible.
