Which Hotronix Heat Press should you choose for your t-shirt business?
During a recent Friday Lunchtime LIVE, Molly was joined by the top three Heat Presses of 2023. The Hotronix Dual Air Fusion IQ, the Fusion IQ and the Auto Open.
If you missed it, don't worry, we're going to take a closer look at those heat press machines and help you decide which is right for your business.
The Auto Open Heat Press
The most user friendly heat press on the market.
Price range: from £1130 with 3 different sizes available.
The best features:
Auto Open :
The press opens automatically, preventing over application & scorching. This allows you to focus on more than one job at once.
Digital Readout:
Accurately see the pressure of your Heat Press for a perfect application every time. Plus, dual timers allow you to have a pre-press and a main press timer without having to change between settings on each fuse.
Quick Change Platens:
With a simple pull of a lever, you can easily remove your platen & add in a smaller or differently shaped platen. Creating a smaller print area and gaining greater accuracy & expanding your product offering.
Perfect for:
Busy heat printers of all experiences. The auto open feature allows you to multitask without fear of scorching and the press is nice and simple to set up and operate.
The Fusion IQ Heat Press
The choice of the Pro's, used at the Miami Heat 2022. The world's most advanced manual heat press.
Price range: £2250. One size fits all.
The best features:
Swing & Draw Motion:
The Fusion IQ comes with dual function - swing or draw motion technology. This means you can choose which function suits your workspace best.
Over Centre Pressure:
This allows the pressure to be distributed evenly throughout the platen, giving you the most consistent press available.
Threadability™:
The Hotronix® EZ-On platen was designed for a greater clearance area under the platen. This creates a heat-free area to thread your garment allowing you to place your garment with more accuracy, and even save you time doing it.
Perfect for:
Heat printers of all sizes. This heat press is a worthy investment for heat printers of all experience levels. The touch screen memory bank enables you to save recipes for saving time while printing. The platen over element setup of the press means the operator feels a lot less of the platen heat than with a clam shell design press.
The Dual Air Fusion IQ Heat Press
The World’s Most Advanced Heat Press. 60% more efficient.
Price range: £7150. One size fits all.
The best features:
Air Controlled Pressure:
Set this press with 100% accuracy. With this heat press, there are no adjustable pressure controls for the heat press user and the press will amend this automatically for you.
Automatically Switch Sides:
Easily switch between stations with the tap of your foot, or set the machine to automatically switch if you prefer. This creates a heat-free workspace for loading the platen.
Dual Laser Alignment:
Dual lasers project onto each platen, creating a grid that can be used to create a set placement guide for every garment. The lasers are infinitely adjustable meaning you can move from garment to garment with ease.
Perfect for:
The heat press is best for bulk. The dual platens and dual laser alignment optimise your t-shirt printing methods to optimise your workflow and save time. The touch screen memory bank enables you to save recipes for saving time while printing. The IQ portal allows you to access print data you can use to keep track of how fast the machine and it's operator are working and much much more.
