FAQ – Heat Presses

Which heat press should I choose to start with?

For beginners or creative hobbies, opt for a compact press like the Mini Easy'Press. It's simple, lightweight, and affordable.

What is the difference between an electromagnetic and a pneumatic press?

The electromagnetic press maintains constant pressure via a simple electrical system, ideal for medium volumes. The pneumatic press uses compressed air for very stable pressure, suitable for large volumes and industrial use.

Can all types of textiles be sublimated?

Sublimation printing works on light-colored, polyester-based fabrics. For dark fabrics or cotton, use transfer vinyl or printable flex material. Our Secabo and Stahls presses are compatible with all these materials.

How to choose the size of the tray?

For T-shirts and small items, a 38 x 38 cm tray is sufficient. For larger projects or multiple pieces simultaneously, opt for 40 x 50 cm or larger, or even the large SEFA SLIDE 1285 format.

Do you need a compressor for pneumatic presses?

Yes, a compressor is necessary for pneumatic presses. It ensures constant pressure and maximum safety. Our Stahls and SEFA models are compatible with standard workshop compressors.

Can these presses be used for DTF?

Yes, all our listed presses can be used for DTF (Direct To Film), with the correct time and temperature depending on the film chosen.
