Eight Points You Should Choose Consider When You buy Heat Press Machine
Heat press machine ,also named heat transfer machine ,used for textile,fabric heat press .It is a important machine in sublimation printing process ,the quality of heat press machine influence sublimation printing results .So it is very important to choose high quality and suitable heat press machine for your digital printing .
How to choose high quality heat press machine ? I think many people may ask this question ,of course , it is a good question . As far as I know ,when you buy heat press machine , you should consider eight points .
1) Your budget
This is often the biggest factor with most beginners. Soon-to-be new heat press owners ponder about this all the time. My answer is that you should only spend within your limits. If your budget is $500, go for the Gecko heat press machine I recommended.
2) Quality
Now you often pay for what you get. A high quality heat press machine that is durable is going to cost a lot more. Almost all heat press machines offer lifetime warranty for the heat platen since they are extremely durable and has no issues.
When you compare two presses of the same size, just look at the weight. If one is 130 pounds and the other is 160 pounds, what does that say about the material used? A durable high quality machine will always be heavier since it has better materials in it. A heat press machine needs to within stand the constant movements and clamping. A light heat press will not be able to handle that well in the long run.
3) After-sale service
Is the company reliable when it comes to helping the customer. Are they quick at resolving issues? Which presses are easily maintained on site and do not need to be returned? A heat press with no support means you won’t be able to do anything if it breaks down.
4) The Heat Platen
One of the factors when looking at how well the heat platen distributes heat evenly. You can only do this if you are looking at a demo or you are buying a used one from someone else. Make sure you test it by turning it on and hover your hand close to the platen to feel the heat.
5) Digital Timer
You do not want to buy a heat press with no digital timer. You don’t want to run the risk of burning your t-shirts or tote bags.
6) Adjustable Force and Pressure Knobs
If you are looking at clamshell heat presses, make sure the adjustable pressure knob can help you control how much force you apply on the garment. Some machines(especially used ones) have poor pressure knobs and if you are constantly using too much force, it can hurt your back. Apply too little force and your design won’t stick on the garment.
Force is subjective as it varies from a 100 pound person to a 250 pound person. The knob needs to be flexible enough to be able to accommodate the 2 spectrum.
7) Temperature and Time
For a standard heat transfer, the temperature requirements are about 350 degrees Fahrenheit and usually 10 seconds is enough to print a garment. It will vary if you are doing thick garments such as hoodies and sweat shirts.
8) Size
Heat press machine's size is very important ,different size means different applications .In general , heat press machine have two types :flat heat press machine and rotary heat press machine .Flat heat press machine always have A3,A4 size ,rotary heat press machine have many size :420*1900,420*2500 and so on .You should choose right size for your digital printing base on your facts .
