New Swing-Away Heat Press!

Our new heat press is ready for use! We’ve recently acquired a Geo Knight swing away press which is now ready in textiles. The first 4.5 minutes of this video give a reasonable explanation of the basic operation

A few things to be aware of:

  1. Power button is in a weird place. It is hiding on the bottom, and can be found in the labeled position in the picture.

  2. It’s a very tall machine, so those of us who are short might have a hard time seeing the screen. Bill is going to build us a platform to use.

  3. When the machine is not in use, it should be kept open.

  4. Pressing size is 14" x 16" - so similar but not identical to the old press

  5. Swinging action is to the right. There is enough clearance so that it can swing 180 degrees away to the wall.

The old press:

Our older heat press is still with us, and does function. There is a low temperature spot on the left hand side. There is a blue tape label to remind folks. You are welcome to use it if it meets your needs

We also now have a hat press, which is an add on accessory to the new swing away press. I have not used it yet, but will give an update with instructions as I learn more
