Whether You Really Need A Heat Press?

Dye-sublimation printing has become increasingly more popular and affordable. The price of printers and the cost of inks are half of what they used to be. The market has matured, and the technology has become far more prevalent and available. This is due, in part, to a wide color gamut, vivid color, clarity of image, durability, return on investment, short-run capabilities, personalization, and quick turnaround times. The trending growth can be attributed to the influx of digital-based print companies and the ability to print on a variety of products. Dye sublimation has proven that it will be the decoration of choice, replacing traditional textile printing methods, and will stay around for many years to come.

Dye sublimation application to the media can be either a one or two-step process. A heat press is needed for both. The two-step process utilizes a more traditional method, where printed sublimation transfer paper transfers the ink or the “dyestuffs” to the polyester, polyester blend, or polyester-coated substrate. As the printed paper connects with the substrate in a heat press, the heat, pressure and time work together to sublimate, or gas the inks. The alternative process removes the transfer paper from the equation, allowing the inks to be directly dispersed. A heat press is still needed to fixate the inks into the substrate. This will improve the color fastness of the fabric and eliminate crocking. Both processes have several advantages and disadvantages.

Many heat press manufacturers and model options are available in the domestic or foreign markets. It can be quite overwhelming to anyone considering this purchase. Some important questions to ask yourself are: Will I be using this machine daily? What will I be transferring onto with this machine? What happens if the machine breaks down? Where can I order parts or get service?

Money is an important consideration, a good rule of thumb is to buy the best heat press from a reliable manufacturer you can afford. Refrain from buying the cheapest machine, because chances are it will not stand the test of time, requiring the need to reinvest in another.
