1. Adjustable Temperature Control
The design is layered with white ink and an adhesive powder before transfer. The adhesive melts on coming into contact with high heat. A temperature is set according to the textile. For example, cotton needs a higher temperature than silk.
2. Pressure Adjustment
The high heat melts the adhesive powder and pressure transfers the design onto the garment. The temperature setting is made according to the textile. The design is kept under high heat and pressure for a specific period so the design transfers completely. The machine releases the garment in a set time.
3. Digital Display and Controls

Digital display makes it easy for operators to monitor the settings and make the necessary changes as and when required.

A heating plate serves as a platform for heat transfer of design. 9x12 inches is a common size suitable for printing small cloth pieces such as caps, bags, socks, and tops. But you will need machines with larger heat plates to print oversized t-shirts and banners. Crafting Heat Press is suitable for both small and large printing jobs.
