InkOne Heat Presses
Heat Presses: The Essential Tool in Product Customization
Heat presses are fundamental in the world of product customization. These machines apply controlled heat and pressure to transfer printed designs—on transfer paper or film—onto a surface. Their versatility makes them ideal for various customization techniques such as sublimation, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), thermal transfers, and DTF printing. There are different types of heat presses specifically designed for products like T-shirts, mugs, caps, shin guards, and more, ensuring high-quality results in every application.
Types of Heat Presses
Choosing the right heat press for the product you want to customize is key to achieving optimal results.
- Flat heat presses: perfect for textiles like T-shirts, tote bags, or any type of fabric garment. They can also be used to personalize flat objects made from other materials with a certain thickness, such as aluminium sheets, wooden photo frames, puzzles, and more. Their main feature is the even distribution of heat across the surface.
- Mug presses: Specifically designed to personalize mugs, bottles, jugs, and cylindrical cups with accuracy and consistency.
- Cap and shin guard presses: Their unique design allows for effective transfers on curved or small surfaces.
Each type of heat press is tailored to maximize the quality of the finish on different products, making the process easier for both entrepreneurs and customization workshops.

Frequent questions
A heat press is a thermal transfer machine that applies controlled heat and pressure to fix designs onto different materials. It is used in techniques such as DTF, sublimation, heat transfer vinyl and laser transfer, allowing the personalisation of garments, technical textiles and certain rigid substrates. InkOne heat presses are designed to deliver uniform pressure and stable temperatures, which is essential for achieving professional and repeatable results.
Heat presses are essential for processes such as DTF printing, sublimation, heat transfer vinyl and other heat-based transfer systems. In all these cases, the press ensures that the design adheres correctly to the material through controlled temperature, time and pressure. InkOne develops heat presses compatible with the main techniques on the market, allowing users to work with different systems without changing their base equipment.
With a professional heat press, it is possible to personalise mainly textiles such as cotton, polyester and blends, as well as materials specifically treated for sublimation or heat transfer. There are also applications for rigid substrates such as wood, marble or acrylic when prepared for heat application. The key is using the right material for each technique and a press capable of maintaining stable parameters, which is essential in production environments.
The main difference lies in precision, durability and workload capacity. A professional heat press offers greater thermal stability, uniform pressure and components designed for intensive use. InkOne heat presses are developed for entrepreneurs and professionals who need consistent results, fewer errors and higher productivity compared to domestic or semi-professional solutions.
Within the InkOne range, there are different types of heat presses depending on their application, such as flat heat presses, multifunction presses and specialised models. This category groups all heat transfer solutions, while each specific type is developed within its own category to make selection easier according to product type and production volume.
Investing in a heat press is often one of the first steps to starting a customisation business, as it is a versatile piece of equipment with a relatively accessible cost compared to other machines. It allows work with multiple techniques and products, making it easier to diversify services and recover the investment within a reasonable timeframe, especially when combined with systems such as DTF or sublimation.
Before purchasing a heat press, it is important to analyse the type of products to be personalised and choose the press size accordingly. Another key factor is the option to include a semi-automatic opening system, which allows the press to open automatically once the cycle is complete. It is essential to invest in quality heat presses to ensure even heat distribution across the entire platen. InkOne offers solutions designed to meet these needs with a professional and scalable approach.
One of the main advantages of InkOne heat presses is the possibility of interchangeable platens, which allow the user to adapt and expand the range of products that can be personalised. Different platen shapes and sizes make it possible to customise everything from standard items such as T-shirts, bags or puzzles to more specific products like shoes, caps, trousers or sports bags.
An integrated solution includes not only the heat press itself, but also compatibility with consumables, accessories and other machines within the personalisation ecosystem. InkOne positions its heat presses as part of a complete system that streamlines workflow, simplifies technical support and supports business growth in the medium and long term.
InkOne heat presses are designed both for entrepreneurs starting a customisation business and for professionals seeking reliability and productivity. Their approach allows users to begin with a solid piece of equipment and scale towards more specialised solutions without changing supplier or working environment.
