Description
The Hotronix® Hover Press™ Heat Press by Stahls' is an innovative solution for decorators working with direct-to-film (DTF) and sublimation transfers that require non-contact heat application. Unlike traditional clamshell presses, the Hover Press™ can be operated in a hover mode, allowing heat to be applied from above the garment without direct pressure — ideal for curing ink, preventing dye migration, or working with delicate materials.
This unique heat press features a 16" x 20" platen, digital controls for time, temperature, and pressure, and an auto-open function that prevents over-curing or scorching. The Hover Press™ also works as a standard clamshell press when needed, making it a versatile 2-in-1 solution for apparel decorators who want to expand their capabilities.
Whether you're curing DTF adhesive powder, working with sublimation transfers, or pressing traditional heat transfers, the Hotronix® Hover Press™ is built to do it all with precision.
