There are many types of heat presses available on the market today. They can range in price from $600 to $4500.

The type you get is determined by how often you are going to be using it. Are planning on using it just a few times a day. Or will you be using and creating shirts all day long?

If you are going to be using the machine all day or more than 3 hours per day, we would suggest you buy a more expensive heat press machine. In the $1500 or more price range.

The one we like the best is the swing away. The swing away heat press machine is great because the heat press plate (the part that's hot) will swing away and out of your way.

This allows you to position the shirt or garment onto the cushioned platform and adjust the transfer to get it lined up correct - without worrying about getting burned by the heating element.
