Which Fusion IQ is the IQ for you?

The Hotronix Fusion IQ heat press range is the smartest set of heat presses in the industry. 

The Fusion IQ heat press range from Hotronix all feature the famous Fusion IQ touchscreen. Often referred to as the 'brain of the heat press', all control aside from the manual operation of the press takes place using this touchscreen. Here you can control the time, temperature and pressure of both the pre-press and the main press. 

Register your Fusion IQ and access the Hotronix® Online Portal. Here you can manage users, generate usage reports, and troubleshoot issues. You also gain online access to reporting, including total impressions, active/idle time, and average cycle time. This means you can monitor which heat press operators are working the quickest and which ones arent (and why). This will enable you to create an efficient and profitable workflow.

But with 5 heat presses in the Fusion IQ range to choose from, which is the right choice for your business?

The Fusion IQ Heat Press

This manual heat press offers a swing and a draw function and is operated by a handle. Adaptable to any workspace you can choose what function you used based on the amount of space you have to work with.  This heat press is also 100% threadable and comes with a built in counter caddie stand. This means that you can open each garment and thread a single layer of fabric onto the platen. Hang any zips, sleeves or seams off the platen and out of the way so you can achieve an flat print space for accurate pressure.

Air Fusion IQ Heat Press

This single-head heat press is air-powered by a compressor. Simply press down the buttons and watch it clamp down and release. This heat press relieves any strain on the operator as it requires minimal manual handling and can be operated by a foot pedal. This single-head heat press automatically swings away for a completely heat-free workspace meaning you can thread and prepare your garment without feeling the heat of your heat press. Choose from a counter caddie or a caddie stand to add threadability and give you the option of adjusting the height of this heat press.

Dual Air Fusion IQ Heat Press

This heat press offers dual workstations making it 60% more efficient than a standard heat press. Air-powered by a compressor, the single-head can be controlled via a footpedal and automatically moves completely clear of each platen for a heat-free workspace. Print one garment on one platen while preparing the second on the other for maximum efficiency gains. Create a smooth workflow without wasting time waiting for your workspace to clear. This heat press comes with a built in stand for 100% threadability meaning your sleeves and seams can hang off the platen and away from your print space. 

ProPlace IQ Heat Press

Offering all the benefits of the Dual Air Fusion IQ, but with precision projection alignment! The latest innovation in heat printing, the ProPlace IQ projects your transfer image down to the platen for accurate placement every time. Accessed via the Hotronix Fusion IQ portal, this new integration allows you to upload your artwork, select your platen type and create your placement. The ProPlace IQ then projects your transfer design down to your chosen platen and all you need to do is line your transfer up to the light. Get accurate placement with every shirt your print. Perfect for mass-production and large jobs.

The 360IQ Hat Press

The main difference between this particular press and the rest of the range is that it's designed for headwear and not clothing. This 360IQ shines brightly when compared to other hat presses on the market due to its fully mouldable lower heated platen, it's auto release feature and the Fusion IQ touchscreen. Not only does any hat fit this heat press but the lower heated platen allows you to print chunkier decorations onto hats without visible scorching.
