T-shirt Heat Press Machine

Over the years, I’ve used many heat press machines to sell and print tens of thousands of t-shirts, aprons, canvas tote bags, bibs, mouse pads and much much more. Of all the t-shirt heat press machines I’ve used, the best heat press by far were the ones manufactured by Stahls’ Hotronix.

Tshirt Riches is an authorized distributor of the Hotronix® and the MAXX™ Press and we’re proud to be able to provide and educate you about the best t-shirt heat transfer pressing equipment!

I’ve posted links below to pages within our website that’ll provide you with videos and information about the various types of heat presses available.

In addition to the heat press machines above, keep in mind that you don’t have to purchase new t-shirt heat presses…

If the machines above are outside of your budget, don’t hesitate to look for bargains on websites like Craigslist.com, eBay and Amazon. They’re sitting in people’s garages collecting dust and you can often find a bargain if you’re willing to buy used..

Apply the extra savings towards starting and building up your new t-shirt empire.

    4 inches is a little too much. You typically want it about the height of a business or credit card from the bottom seam on the neckline.

    I have lots of questions alslmost not sure where to start. What other mandatory equipment is needed other then heat press to actually be able to start printing shirts.
    Heat press, shirts, and paper? Printer? PhotoShop? Ink?. Also what are the best and worst color shirts to start with?

      To get going you’ll need…
      - heat press
      - blank t-shirts
      - your finished designs (which is then put onto the transfer by a company that specializes in this process).

      Regarding your designs — if you aren’t familiar with using graphic design software, you can get someone to create your design ideas for you for fairly cheap. I don’t recommend u learning how to use the graphic design software — it’s complex and there are others who’ll do far better work on your behalf (we talk about this more on our site and in our course).

      That’s pretty much it as it relates to printing an actual shirts…

        Appreciate it. I will be purchasing one over weekend. Just debating on spending $1290 on a refurbished 16×20 from hotronix or 599 on a different brand 16×20 off Amazon to start off.

          $1290 refurbished??? That would be a new price… If you’re trying to bootstrap and cash is tight, go cheaper… If money isn’t to much of an issue, go Hotronix… We have new ones on our site, the MAXX brand by Hotronix.

    It’s really dependent on the quantity you order and the number of colors in your design. For example, a 1-color design could cost you $1.45 each when you purchase 50 pieces ($72.50), but you could get them for .55 cents each when u purchase 500 sheets ($275). For essentially $200 more, you could have 10 times more transfers…

    Each transfer company is different… Some charge more or less.
