If you are in the business of apparel and/or fashion, then a heat press machine is something that you simply need to have. The organic cotton-made textile industry brings in approximately $5,000,000,000 every year, and that’s something you should be taking advantage of for your business.
Heat presses give you amazing flexibility for customization and efficient production for any apparel business. You can print designs on t-shirts, socks, bags, pillows, sandals, and so much more. The possibilities are endless. If you want to make the most out of your heat press, there are certain things that you should definitely have to give yourself plenty of options. Here are three types of heat press accessories that are must haves.
Cover Sheets
A cover sheets’ main function is to offer protection. The cover sheet helps protect the upper plate and prevents any inks, adhesives, or stains from getting on your press. It also protects the garments that you are printing on from the same dangers. This allows the printer to put any kind of design, material, or color on any garment of choice with no worries of ruining the garment or machine. The cover sheet can also give the printer an option of putting a semi-gloss or matte finish on the garment, if desired.
Vinyl Cutter
This tool is particularly helpful for anyone looking to cut their own designs out of a garment. It can easily remove access material from the printing process. For example, if the print on design bleeds into an area where it’s not wanted, a cutter can take care of that in no time. These cutters typically have a thin, sharp tip, so precision is possible every time.
Thermo Tape
Thermo tape is an amazing accessory that can be used in multiple ways. If you are trying to print a design on a t-shirt or a tote bag and don’t have a design template or stencil, no worries. You can simply take out the design on the garment, press down the ink, and voila. This tape is great when straight lines, or things like letters and numbers, are desired.
There you have it, three types of heat press accessories that are must haves for any heat press owner to make life a breeze.
