Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between clamshell and swing-away heat presses?
Clamshell presses open like a clamshell with the top platen hinged at the back, requiring less space but risking burns. Swing-away presses have the top platen swing to the side, providing safer operation and allowing work on thick items like hoodies.
What temperature and time settings should I use?
Settings vary by transfer type: HTV vinyl typically needs 305-320°F for 10-15 seconds; sublimation requires 385-400°F for 45-60 seconds; plastisol transfers need 325-375°F for 7-10 seconds. Always follow transfer manufacturer recommendations.
Can I use a heat press for sublimation?
Yes, heat presses are essential for sublimation. You need a press capable of reaching 400°F with even heat distribution. Sublimation works on polyester fabrics and polymer-coated hard substrates like mugs, phone cases, and tiles.
What size heat press do I need?
For t-shirt printing, 15x15 inches is the minimum recommended size. For full-size adult garments and larger items, 16x20 or 16x24 inches is ideal. Consider your primary products when choosing size.
How do I maintain even pressure across the platen?
Modern heat presses feature pressure adjustment mechanisms. Use a pressure test kit or paper test to verify even contact. Periodically check platen alignment and clean the silicon pad. Uneven pressure causes incomplete transfers and quality issues.
