Hotronix Heat Presses
What Is A Heat Press?
A heat press is a machine used to apply materials including Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) onto garments like T-shirts, bags, sweatshirts and more. You simply load your chosen garment onto the Heat Press, place your HTV where you want to apply it, and fuse.
Depending on which HTV you are using your application settings will be slightly different. Click HERE to learn about the different types of HTV available.

Vinyl Cutters
At Target Transfers, we have an excellent variety of Plotter Cutters to meet your textile vinyl cutting needs. Whether you're a start up or a full time heat printing business, we have a Vinyl Cutter to suit your requirements.
If you're starting out, or producing one off designs for customers, we'd recommend a Silhouette Cutter. There are a range available on our website (HERE) however We'd recommend the Cameo 4 Plus and Cameo Pro due to their wider cutting width and efficiency.
If you are producing a large amount of stock and ready to increase your business's output, we'd recommend a Plotter Cutter. We supply both Graphtec and Summa Plotter Cutters. Both are highly recommended machines and available in multiple sizes.
Heat Press Accessories
When heat printing onto garments, there are some essential accessories you'll need. This will not only help protect your heat press (maintaining it's good condition throughout use) and your transfer, it will also increase your production efficiency, accuracy and overall quality of your products.
