The Ink Experts 30 x 23cm Swing Away Heat Press.  Suitable for  heat pressing images up to A4 (297 x 210mm) or 30x23cm in size. This machine features a swing upper heating platen that 'swings' or rotates to allow easy access to the product prior to or after heat pressing. Digital heat press machine is fantastic value for money and ideal for anyone wanting to produce sublimation printed products used in conjunction with our A4 Sublimation Printer Packages. An excellent choice for those starting out in sublimation printing without breaking the bank. With a medium 30 x 23cm heating element this machine is perfect for anyone using an A4 sublimation printer and will allow maximum coverage from designs printed on this size media. Perfect for all flat products including t-shirts, cushion covers, aprons, metal sheets, jigsaw puzzles, mouse mats, coasters, chopping boards this list goes on. This machine is also well suited to pressing thicker products such as slates, acrylic blocks or glass that are greater than 10mm in thickness - our clam presses can struggle with thicker products whereas the swing press can be used with ease and great success. The swing away design provides excellent levels of pressure, but this can also be adjusted depending on the product being heat pressed. Perfectly suited to the hobbyist or small business user looking to begin their journey into sublimation. Simple to use, the digital control panel allows for quick and easy change of temperature and time to suit the recommended settings for the blank item being heat pressed. The main frame construction is steel with a textured black powder coat finish. The control module is finished in 'Ink Experts' hot magenta pink. Please note the bottom platen of our heat presses are produced using a casting method (to keep costs as low as possible), visually this means the edges can be rough and are not machine finished. The casting process has no effect on physical performance, reliability or use of the machine.
