Key Features of LOKLiK Heat Press Machine  

LOKLik heat press machines offer one-touch heat-settings and pressure adjustments to work with a greater variety of materials. Also, your hands aren’t exposed to the heating elements.

Automatic Heat Pressing :

An automatic heat pressing machine uses consistent heat, pressure, and time in applying an item to create a quality print transfer on items like t-shirts or mugs. Unlike manual machines, an automatic heat press machine is safer, and gives reliable results each time. 

Suits Various Tumblers & Mugs :

Heat transfer can work on many materials, not just shirts or hats. Tumblers, mugs, and more can be printed with a unique design that you control. This opens up additional “merch” possibilities for small businesses. The right heat press machine makes it easy!

Adjustable Heat Settings :

The adjustable heat settings on today’s press machines make the process both consistent and safer. They work equally well on a variety of materials and substrates, from fabrics to ceramic-ware and tumblers.

These adjustable settings ensure a consistent quality in every piece. 

Auto Shut-off :

When it comes to a heat press, an automated shut-off feature is essential for safety.  It turns the machine off after a printing cycle is done, or a period of inactivity. This prevents potential burns or scorching on both the operator or the materials being printed.

How to Choose the Right Heat Press Machine

When you want to buy a heat press machine, factor in the following:

  • What are your needs?: Hobbyist or high-volume? Also what will you be printing: apparel, mugs? 
  • Platen size: A small one is fine for hats or small graphics. A larger one is suitable for heavier production.
  • Consistency: The heat and pressure of the machine influences the quality of the result. Look for evenly-spaced heating plates to avoid any cold spots. You’ll also want to be able to adjust pressure for different materials.
  • Digital controls: Make it simple to adapt for different jobs.
