Key Features of the HIX HT Series Heat Press
✅ 16" x 20" Heat Platen – All Metal Build
Designed for professional-grade production, the HT-600 features a solid metal frame and a generously sized 16x20" platen — ideal for pressing larger garments, tote bags, or bulk orders with ease.
✅ Advanced LCD Touchscreen Controller
Precision control at your fingertips. Easily adjust heat and time settings on the full-color LCD screen, and save your most-used configurations with custom presets. The real-time pressure readout ensures accurate application for every transfer.
✅ Floating Lower Platen for Even Pressure
A unique floating bottom platen helps deliver uniform pressure across the entire surface, eliminating cold spots and improving transfer quality — especially helpful when working with thicker substrates.
✅ Even Heat Distribution
At the core of the HT Series is a proprietary aluminum alloy heat casting, manufactured in-house by HIX. This ensures maximum heat retention and transfer, while the floating lower platen guarantees even pressure from corner to corner.
✅ 4"x5" Top Pressure Plate System
Unlike basic clamshell presses that use a single screw, the HIX HT-600's multi-point pressure plate applies force more evenly, just like using your whole palm instead of a single point. That means cleaner, sharper transfers from edge to edge.
