Stahls' Hotronix^® and MAXX^™ Heat Presses

Looking to expand your business? Here are the questions you'll want to consider when selecting the best heat press for your business.

What style heat press is best?

It all depends on your business. Some presses are best suited to printing teamwear and jackets, while other presses are manufactured for T-shirts, caps, mugs or plaques. Before you choose a heat press, evaluate the items you plan to print, your counter space and your workload.

Does the platen provide even heat?

Even heat is essential when applying transfers and lettering correctly. If your machine has cold spots, you'll ruin transfers and garments. Hotronix heating elements are three times larger than conventional presses and spaced evenly throughout the platen.

Does platen size matter?

A larger platen gives you more flexibility when printing full front transfers, oversize jerseys, and jackets. Choose the largest size heat press you can afford, as there are optional interchangeable platens available for smaller items.

Is there a pressure readout?

This feature gives you total control and allows more than one person to use the heat press without having to guess if it's set at the right pressure.

Does the machine provide centralized pressure?

Pressure is critically important when printing transfers. An accurate pressure reading is crucial to successful prints.

Does the timer have an automatic reset?

A digital or electronic timer with an automatic reset can make printing large orders more convenient, since there's no need to constantly reset the timer.

Did you know?

Accurate time, temperature, and pressure are the recipe for success when heat printing any screen printed transfers, digital transfers, or lettering.

Clam style heat presses are the most compact and portable.

If you will be printing shirts as a hobby, the MAXX line is a budget friendly, quality choice.
