Your transfer is only as good as your heat press…
You could have the perfect, personalized sublimation, heat transfer, or vinyl design for your customer, but if you don’t have a good, quality heat press your finished project might not live up to their expectations.
A high-quality heat press will ensure you’re getting even temperature and pressure across your entire transfer. The right press will give you transfer results that are consistent and repeatable, saving you time and money from having to redo transfers that were ruined by heat platen cold spots or light pressure zones.
Two of the most popular types of heat presses are swing aways and clamshells. On a swing away press, the top can swing completely away from the bottom part, giving consistent pressure while a clamshell opens up and down, similar to a clamshell.
SHOP HEAT PRESSESSwing-Away vs Clamshell Press
Which is Right for Your Business?
The two most common types of heat presses on the market are Swing-Away and Clamshell. Each style has its benefits and choosing the right style for your business is an important step in your heat press purchase.
Swing Away
A Swing-Away press features a top heating platen that “swings” out to one side, giving you easy access to the item you’re pressing. The top platen comes down onto your item in a single top-down motion, ensuring even pressure for the best and most vibrant results. Swing-Away presses require a little more space due to the top platen “swinging” away from the base. However, the “swing” action reduces the chances of accidentally burning yourself when placing a product into the press. Swing away heat presses are perfect for garments and textiles and offer the most consistent results with every single finished project.
Even, consistent pressure
Easier to press garments and textiles
Allows pressing of thicker items
Clamshell
A Clamshell press has a top heating platen that closes from back to front, which makes it a great choice for shops and offices that have limited space. Because the platen closes from back to front, there is the chance that the item being pressed can shift during the closing process, causing “ghosting” for sublimation items. However, when closing the press with a slow, consistent motion, a clamshell press can give you great press results with sublimation or vinyl. We do not recommend using a clamshell press with toner heat transfer.
