The MAXX^™ Clam Heat Press

Why is it necessary to pre-heat a garment before heat applying?

Pre-heating your garment removes the chemicals and moisture that may be in the garment due to manufacturing. Also, pre-heating assures a wrinkle free surface for heat application.

Is a MAXX^TM Heat Press the best machine for me?

The Maxx heat presses are an economical line for those producing shirts as a hobby for friends and family, or using for occasional professional use.

Is it important to use the correct pressure when applying designs to garments?

The key to proper application is the correct time, temperature and pressure for the material you are heat applying. If you have too much pressure it may result in strikethrough. Not enough pressure may affect the material's adhesion.

How do I know where to place the print?

Easy Prints^® are printed on ruled paper to make placement easy. On a full-size print, the horizontal line will cross at the armpits and the vertical line will center with the tag on the garment. On heart size prints, the bottom of the print lines up with the armpit horizontally and the vertical center lines up with the shoulder/neck intersection. Click here for more information.

How far from the top of the waistline should you come down when starting a leg transfer?

This will vary depending on the size of the garment, but the transfer should be placed past the start of the inseam. We recommend starting just below that seam.
