What Is A Heat Press?

A heat press is a machine used to apply materials including Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)  onto garments like T-shirts, bags, sweatshirts and more. You simply load your chosen garment onto the Heat Press, place your HTV where you want to apply it, and fuse.

Depending on which HTV you are using your application settings will be slightly different. Click HERE to learn about the different types of HTV available.
