Comparing Hotronix® to Cheap Import Heat Presses
When you are shopping for a new heat press there is a tremendous range in pricing. On Amazon you can find many offerings for just a couple hundred dollars and others can be upwards of several grand. Why is there such a difference in price, and is the investment in a more expensive heat press worth the money?
In this video, Josh Ellsworth reveals the differences between a quality Hotronix® heat press and a cheaper heat press. Peak inside an imported heat press to see why they can sell the heat press at a low price.
We measure the upper metal platen that encases the heating element. The thickness of the metal plays a major role in how long your heat press is able to hold the temperature while you are heat printing. You can see why a Hotronix heat press is one you can rely on for accurate temperature.
Also, pay close attention to where the temperature display and read-out comes from in the imported press. Determine for yourself whether the construction of the import will work for your business. If you are unsure whether the heat press you use has accurate temperature, we suggest using heat press temperature test strips often to be sure your heat press is at the temperature it says it is. You will learn from watching this video why the read-out from imported heat presses are unreliable.
How to Test the Temperature of Your Heat Press
Besides accurate temperature, flat and even pressure when your heat press closes is a necessity when decorating with a heat press. Watch the eye-opening difference as we lock-down the imported heat press and the Hotronix.
