www.targettransfers.com Which heat press?
Before purchasing a heat press there are a few things to consider fi rst. What products and applications do you intend to use the equipment for? Does the press conform to all health and safety standards and legislation? Does the supplier offer warranty, support and training?
TheMagicTouch since 1992 has pioneered the digital image transfer process and is considered a market leader in many aspects of this technology. From its UK base in Dunstable the full range of heat presses and print equipment are available for inspection and evaluation. The company offers leasing and rental options to make the decision to buy the right press easier.
Some of the key issues to consider with heat presses include the ability to have even platen temperature which is best achieved using cast aluminum platens. Even pressure and interchangeable platens are also a great advantage when decorating different shaped items such as bags, caps, holdalls and umbrellas.
If space is a premium then a clam style press is probably going to be a better option for you. Clam presses take up a lot less space and offer the option of interchangeable platens allowing you to press sleeves, collars, bags and shoes with ease. The existing HTP123 clam press with the pull out draw function also makes the procedure easier and safer.
When considering volume production, pneumatic operated presses combined with a silent compressor offers easy use, consistent production speed and reduced fatigue for the operator throughout the working day.
So, before you go out and buy your new heat press, make sure you do your homework. Find a heat press that has the key elements for quality and reliability. Avoid poor quality imports where the risk of injury to the operator could have dramatic consequences should the manufacturer be found to be negligent.
