Choosing The Right Heat Press for Sublimation Printing
When it comes to sublimation printing, a heat press is the essential tool that ensures your vinyl decals and prints come out perfectly. With so many types of heat presses available on the market, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.
- Temperature Range: Look for a heat press with a temperature range that matches your specific application needs. Most sublimation presses operate between 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C).
- Gauge and Thickness: Ensure the heat press is compatible with your vinyl material and has sufficient gauge and thickness to accommodate it.
- Metal Type: Metal heat presses are ideal for heavier use, while plastic or acrylic presses are better suited for lighter applications.
