Optimal Efficiency for Apparel Customisation
Enhance your custom apparel business with the Ricoma heat press. This robust, easy-to-use clamshell press guarantees perfect transfers on various items from t-shirts to totes. It features a precision clamp mechanism, auto-release function, and a drawer-style platen for efficient operations. The advanced digital touchscreen provides full control. Ideal for use with embroidery machines or DTG printers, it ensures high-quality results with easy cleanup.

Auto-Release Function
No more sitting around and babysitting your heat press! Unlike manual heat presses, all of Ricoma’s heat presses have an auto-release feature. This means that when the timer runs out, the heat press automatically lifts the heating plate. A feature like this saves you time by allowing you to confidently complete other tasks, like DTG printing or using an embroidery machine, without worrying that the garment will be pressed longer than the timer allots.

Drawer-Style Lower Platen
The large slide-out platen on Ricoma’s flat heat presses is a feature designed with safety and comfort in mind. It gives you more room to lay down your garment on the press without putting your arms and hands underneath the heat. You’ll reduce the chance of burning yourself and be able to quickly press garments without worrying about the hot plate.

Choose From a Variety of Application Methods
The Ricoma flat heat press is useful for so much more than just heat transfer vinyl. You can use it to transfer sublimation designs, to cure prints made from a DTG printer, and more. Not to mention, you can combine the heat press with other apparel decoration equipment like a Ricoma embroidery machine to create mixed-media products that will attract customers and raise profits.
