Heat press machines are a great way to apply images to t-shirts, cups, and other surfaces. They operate by transferring images or text onto a surface with heat and pressure. This renders them suitable for small businesses, schools and people like hobbyists who enjoy making alphanumeric sorts of custom products. There are several different types and sizes of heat press machines, so you should be able to find one that suits your purposes. Here at ERA SUB, we specialize in creating quality heat presses that are simple to use and made with durability in mind so you get great results every time.
It’s fun once you get the hang of a heat press machine but there are common problems you might encounter. One problem is getting the material you’re working with to be too warm. If it’s too hot or for too long, you might burn the fabric, or worst-case scenario something could melt off (like that design). Never forget to verify the settings on the machine before beginning. You can also practice on a scrap piece of fabric first. Another issue could be pressure irregularities. If your heat press is not pressing flatly on one side, a transfer cannot take place evenly. You need to make sure the heat press is set up properly. Use height adjustment tool if necessary for your machine. Another mistake that is so simple yet many many people overlook is don’t forget to clean the plates of your heat press because it leaves marks on your design. Make scrubbing the plates as much of a habit as brushing your teeth. If it is filled with ink or smudges, this may give you some problems with transfers. Finally, use the correct type of transfer paper for your project. The wrong paper can cause the designs to fade or rub. Preserve your designs with the appropriate supplies and a well-maintained heat press.

If you are trying to print off a lot of items at once, then an efficient heat press is what you want. Well, a decent cutter such as Cricut Explore Air 2 and fast heat press for bulk production should respond instantly when required. One thing to consider is a larger platen, the part that gets hot. A larger platen will enable you to press larger designs and/or work on more than one small item at once. This will save you time the next time you need to do 100 t-shirts for an event or placement orders. Good heat distribution is another important characteristic. If some parts of the machine are hotter than others, you may have to press the same item multiple times, which is a time sucker. At ERA SUB, we engineer our heat press machines to offer an even and steady heat from edge to edge so you can complete large projects quickly. You might also want to factor in the setup time. A fast-cooling machine that’s a breeze to use can help your operation avoid disruptions. Finally, if it’s digital and has a timer and temperature control that’s a plus so there is less chance of error. These are the thing that has ensured you get an even quality with each press, among other features, it’s what's kept your customers happy through every purchase. The right heat press machine will save time and take the frustration out of being creative.

Even the highest quality heat press machines can encounter issues every now and then. You need to know how to troubleshoot common problems like this in order for you to continue your work without too much of a hassle. One popular issue is that the heat press isn’t transferring heat properly. If that's the case, first try to determine if this problem is power related. Ensure the machine is plugged in and that the electrical receptacle is operational. Occasionally a breaker might trip, and power goes out. If it still doesn’t warm up, the heating element is probably damaged and you may need to consult ERA SUB for help or a spare part. Some of it could be uneven pressure or heat when you’re pressing items. You can change the machine pressure so that the pressure is spread more evenly over the material. If you have difficulty with your designs sticking, take a quick peek at the temperature and time settings to ensure that they match the recommendation for your transfer material. It’s also a good idea to clean your heat press from time to time as buildup can impact the performance. After use, you can wipe the heat plate with a soft cloth or some cleaning fluid to ensure no sticky residue is left on and have it applied to your next project.
