Heat press machines are the most widely used machines in the field of fashion design. This is in spite of the fact that more convenient and faster technologies exist such as digital printing machines. The heat press machine has maintained its status as a powerhouse and primary asset in the design business.

Designers know that the prints created out of a heat press machine are far more superior and tend to have a longer lasting color quality. Some people wonder why this is the case and how a much older technology can yield better results that the ones recently invented. Breaking down the science behind the heat press machine will answer this question.

The Build

Heat press machines can come in many designs, but the basic requisites are the pressure pad, the heated surface and the pressure handle. The pressure pad is the flat surface where you layout the fabric and where it received the pressure. The pressure will come from the pressure handle and is often time exerted manually by the one operating the machined. The heated pad is attached to an electrical thermo-generator that heats up when prompted. The build is usually made of metal, and some older versions have incorporated wooden frames.

The Physics

There is not much physics involved in the bench press machine other than heat and pressure. Heat is what softens the paint and allows it to detach from the original canvass. Once detached the paint is applied with pressure, so it transfers to the destination canvass either in the form of fabric or vinyl. In recently released heat pressed machines heat can be adjusted so that the designer has more control on the darkness and the degree of how much of the original design is transferred to the fabric. This creates more diversity in the design and allows more control in the creative process.

The Evolution

Before the release of the modern heat press machine you know today, it had to go through a lot of changes. The most basic designs before were swung away and clamshells. Later on, another design was introduced called the Draw. Modern developers have further developed these designs to create a combination of one or all of the three designs. Each design works best depending on the type of print the designer is trying to create so having the design become adjustable makes the modern heat press machines more powerful.

The Practicality

One advantage of the heat press machine that its counterparts cannot beat is what it delivers in the practical aspect. This is because prints out of heat press machines require lesser energy and thus costs much less than those digitally done. The process may take longer and may be more effortful, but the end results are also of better quality.

The heat press machine is no super invention that requires the infusion of complex technology, but like the scissors, its practicality and simplicity will make it a relevant piece that will forever be used by humans.

It all started when I was a child…








I was ready to do my first heat press.

I want to give a shout out to the man who absolutely saved my heat press machine business. Without him reaching out, I would be filing for bankruptcy. It’s kind of scary to think, that I was that close to losing my business. But needless to say, I am still here.

The man that reached out to me was none other than Joe from heat press review.com. He was very kind into directing me to his supplier of heat press machines.

But what that means is that he is direct access to the majority of heat press manufacturers. So when times are tough, I know I can count on Joe to have a great source within the industry that’s going to be able to provide me everything that I need to keep my business going.

Joe asked that I give him a little shout out on my website. I guess it’s the absolute least that I can do.

Victory! I found someone to sell me heat press machines!!

I am so unbelievably happy right now. It has been a crazy few days. I guess I’ll start with saying that I had someone right in telling me that they could supply me with plenty of power press heat transfer machines. It was like a gift from God.

The best part is that they’re able to beat the price that my previous heat press machine distributor was using. I really can’t believe it.

They were able to overnight me all the heat press machines that I needed, which was absolutely awesome.

Within three days of having all the heat press machines, I sold them out all the local students in schools.

They were ecstatic to be able to make their T-shirts in time for the beginning of their sports seasons.

I also had people come to me and inquire if I was going to teach classes on how to use a heat press machine. I hadn’t really thought about this because I didn’t think that there was much demand for it. However, now that I think about it, there are many nuances to using a heat press machine properly.

Also, depending what you’re going to be doing for your heat transfer, whether you’re using heat transfer paper or vinyl, the technique of using the machine is going to vary greatly.

I think it would be great if I can show everyone how to use the heat press machine to transfer onto hats, sweatpants, and other popular garments.

It’s pretty cool to think that I have the ability to educate a whole town on one little hobby of mine. Pretty soon I’m going to see everyone walking around with a product made from one of the products that I sell. That’s kind of a liberating feeling.

This is part of the reason that I absolutely love using a heat press machine. It such a simple little device that can bring so much joy to so many people. It’s one of those little devices that kind of operates in the background of the world and doesn’t get the credit that it deserves.

That’s kind of why am making the site, not just a rant about my heat press distributor, but also to share my excitement about he presses with everyone in the world.

I think for my next post I’m going to tell you guys how I got into heat press machines. It’s kind of an interesting story that I think you’ll all enjoy.

and so the heat press saga continues!

First off, I want to thank everyone I did reach out to me after my last post. It seems that there has been an interruption in the distribution channel for all heat press machines. I started and been able to find the source of the disruption, but needless to say it is there.

I’ve spoken with several other heat press machine businesses across the nation and it seems that the problem is stemming from auto supply chain problem in Thailand. For those of you that don’t know, heat press machine parts mainly come from Thailand. Even if a heat press machine is made here in the United States, the parts are more likely coming from overseas.

I think this may have something to do with the foul weather that they have been having lately. Either way, it seems that the majority of us heat press machine sellers are kind of screwed. I can’t even begin to tell you how much money I have lost.

Never my wildest dreams would I have thought that heat press transfer machines would be my biggest cause of stress in life.

I have begun to source other distributors to see if anyone has my more popular models in stock. It’s kind of hard to find distributors who have power press heat press machines and JFROTO heat press machines in stock.

I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do. I have customers calling in each and every day wondering if I have any more heat press machines in stock. It looks like all the sporting teams at my local schools are starting up again and are wanting to make custom T-shirts. At least I can take comfort in knowing that there isn’t anyone else that they are able to buy heat press machines from.

Still, I would rather have the guaranteed business right now while the iron is still hot.

I’m going to continue making calls to every heat press machine distributor that I can find on the planet. There has to be someone out there that has heat press machines for sale.

Again, if anyone is having similar problems, please reach out to me.

Annoying problem with Heat Press Machine distributor…
