When you have a heat press like this one that can instantly put your designs, logos or messages on t-shirts, you’ll find yourself using it all the time. This is a really great clamshell heat press with some customization to it thanks to the temperature and pressure control and digital display.
Advantages
When it comes to advantages, one of the best things is that the new digital control allows for easy switching between jobs. There are four different programs that are available through the digital control panel depending upon the way that you want to use the press.
In addition, these options can be used as a two-step selection within the same job, by using two alternating cycle times so that you can get a pre-press if you want, followed by the regular, final press.

Disadvantages
The only thing that you want to be aware of when it comes to the disadvantages of buying this heat press machine is that it really needs to be on a stable surface to work properly and it has a fairly large footprint so it might be a challenge to find space.
Verdict
