Heat Presses
Heat. Pressure. Possibilities.
Printing the transfer is only half the process. A heat press turns the design into the finished product.
Print Shop has a range of professional and specialty heat presses for applying heat-transfer vinyl (HTV), sublimation transfers and other heat-applied graphics to apparel, drinkware, metal, fabric and more.
Our lineup includes large-format presses for shirts and totes, dedicated presses for hats and mugs, an automatic tumbler press and smaller handheld tools for those awkward little projects that refuse to cooperate.
Perfect for: T-Shirts • Sweatshirts • Tote Bags • Hats & Caps • Mugs • Tumblers • Metal Prints • Ornaments • Coasters • Patches • Signs • Specialty Items
Geo Knight DK20S — 16 × 20 Swing-Away Press
The Geo Knight DK20S is the workhorse of our heat-press lineup.
Its large 16 × 20-inch platen gives you plenty of room for shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, larger transfers and sublimation projects. The swing-away design moves the heated platen completely out of the way, making it easier to position artwork accurately before pressing.
Digital controls for time and temperature, adjustable pressure and a heavy-duty commercial build make it a great choice for both one-off projects and production runs.
Ideal for:
T-Shirts • Sweatshirts • Tote Bags • HTV • Sublimation • Metal Panels • Large Transfers
16 × 20 Clamshell Heat Press
Our second full-size press is a 16 × 20 clamshell, offering another large work surface for apparel and flat heat-transfer projects.
The simple lift-and-press design makes it especially useful for HTV, shirts, tote bags, transfers and repeat production.
Having both swing-away and clamshell presses also gives members flexibility to choose the setup that works best for their particular project.
Hotronix® MAXX® 250 Digital Cap Heat Press
Because hats are not flat.
The Hotronix MAXX 250 is designed specifically for pressing caps, hats and visors.
Its curved platen supports the shape of the hat while holding the material securely in place, making it much easier to apply logos, lettering and other heat-transfer graphics to curved surfaces than with a standard flat press.
Perfect for:
Baseball Caps • Trucker Hats • Visors • Logos • Names • HTV • Branded Headwear
Whether you're making one custom cap or a batch of branded hats for a business, organization, team or event, this specialty press gets the job done without trying to convince a hat that it's a T-shirt.
Automatic Mug Presses
Our automatic mug presses are designed for producing full-color sublimation graphics on standard 11 oz and 15 oz mugs.
The heating element wraps around the mug to apply consistent heat and pressure across the surface, making them ideal for photographs, artwork, logos and wraparound designs.
Use them to create:
Photo Mugs • Logo Mugs • Artwork • Gifts • Promotional Products • Small-Batch Merchandise
Pair them with transfers printed on our Sawgrass SG1000 and you can take a project from digital artwork to finished mug right here in the shop.
Automatic Tumbler Press
For taller drinkware, our automatic tumbler press makes it easier to create full-color sublimated tumblers, bottles and other cylindrical products.
The machine automatically presses and rotates the item during the transfer process, helping provide more even heat around the surface and reducing the need to manually reposition the tumbler.
Great for:
Tumblers • Water Bottles • Travel Mugs • Wraparound Designs • Personalized Drinkware
Cricut EasyPress SE — 12 × 10
Not every project needs an industrial press.
The 12 × 10 Cricut EasyPress SE combines a large heated surface with the portability and flexibility of a handheld press.
It's especially useful for projects that are difficult to position in a traditional heat press, including: T-Shirts • Tote Bags • Sweatshirts • Pillows • Fabric Projects • HTV • Sublimation
It also makes a great option for smaller projects, demonstrations and learning the basics of heat-transfer production.
Cricut EasyPress Mini
And then there are the tiny, curved and oddly positioned places that laugh at a 16 × 20 heat press.
That's where the Cricut EasyPress Mini comes in.
Its compact heated surface makes it ideal for pressing small graphics, seams, pockets and hard-to-reach areas.
Great for: Small Logos • Shoes • Baby Clothes • Pockets • Hat Details • Seams • Tiny HTV Projects
Sometimes the smallest tool solves the weirdest problem.
From Digital File to Finished Product
Our heat presses are part of a larger production system at Print Shop.
Create your artwork on our computers, cut heat-transfer vinyl on the Graphtec, print full-color sublimation transfers on the Sawgrass SG1000, and use the appropriate heat press to turn that design into a finished product.
That means you don't need to buy an entire production setup just to make a shirt, prototype a product or test an idea.
Professional Equipment. Shared Access.
Whether you're making one custom mug, a dozen hats, 36 band shirts, merchandise for your organization or a new product for your business, Print Shop gives you access to professional equipment to make it happen.
Design it. Print it. Press it. Make it real.
