Heat Press
The Heat Press Machine X-Press M110 (33 x 44 inch) does sublimation within an area of 85 x 110 cm. The resistance is fused in aluminium that works with a digital controller of time and temperature, ensuring a consistent temperature across the heat plate area. From upcycling to moulded panels and surface designs, the press heats up to 255 Celsius so can be used to fuse fabrics, foiling, reform selected plastics and sublimation print on fabric.
