Stahls® Hotronix Heat Press Features and Benefits

Pressure Readout Patented Technology
The new pressure readout on the Hotronix is calibrated to send an impulse to the readout center everytime you close the press. You still have to change the pressure level manually, by turning the pressure knob, but everytime you change it, the press will give you a new numerical readout. This way, a person can adjust the pressure from a 2 to a 3 or a 4, depending on what type of garment they are printing on and what type of graphic they are applying.

Thicker Platens
All Hotronix presses have platens that are ¾" thick. In addition to superior heat retention, this also prevents application mistakes when you switch from printing a thin t-shirt to a heavy weight fleece sweatshirt. The thickness of your garment can easily make the pressure readout change several numbers. Most people don't realize this and don't make the adjustment in the press when switching garment types. Applying a certain type of transfer at too heavy of a pressure can drive the adhesive through the garment or ruin the look of the top layer altogether. Incorrect pressure has also been known to ruin sublimation or ink jet transfers as well.

Automatic Open This helpful feature uses electronic magnetic technology to open the press automatically when an item is done, allowing you to walk away from the unit and do other things - such as loading a second unit - instead of standing by idly, waiting for it to finish. It does not require an air compressor.

Digital pressure readout
Only from Hotronix. Hotronix presses with this feature are calibrated to send an impulse to the readout center everytime you close the press. You still have to change the pressure level manually, by turning the pressure knob, but everytime you change it, the press will give you a new numerical readout. This way, a person can adjust the pressure from a 2 to a 3 or a 4, depending on what type of garment they are printing on and what type of graphic they are applying.

Digital time and temperature controls
Make sure you can set and know the exact temperature for all your applications. Guesswork costs money and leads to ruined transfers.

Interchangeable platens
Hotronix offers a wide variety of interchangeable platens. No tools are needed to change platens. By changing out platens, you can use the same heat press to easily do a wide variety of items besides T-shirts - everything from tote bags to youth garments and sleeves.

Teflon® Coated upper platen
Other manufacturers cut costs by not coating the upper platen with Teflon®, which is standard on all Hotronix presses. With this feature, employees can literally wipe off the press while it's still warm. When you've put a transfer on upside down, this is handy to have.
