Here’re the important things you need to keep in mind when purchasing the best affordable t-shirt printing machine for your t-shirt printing needs.
1. Quality
The first thing you want to do when buying your heat press machine for t-shirts is the quality. As much as you want to invest your money in a durable, long-term machine, you’ll need to make sure it comes with the ultimate quality.
The easiest way to detect a durable machine when comparing different models is looking at the weight. Of course, a durable, high-quality machine will be heavier given the materials used to construct it.
Your machine needs to withstand consistent clamping and movements involved. And if you invest in a bad quality, light machine, it will not be able to handle that.
2. Budget
This is especially useful for beginners who are planning to buy their first ever machine.
My simple advice is: spend according to your limits while making sure the machine you buy will meet your basic printing needs.
3. Digital Timer and Temperature Control
Almost all the modern cheap heat press machines are integrated with digital time and temperature controls. These help you set the correct time and temperature values depending on the materials you’re working on.
If you don’t wish to risk burning your customer’s t-shirts or tote bags due to overexposure, you’ll need to consider this feature.
4. Temperature and Time Range
While still on temperature and time aspects of a heat transfer machine, you should take a chance to learn their range.
For a standard heat press, about 350 degrees Fahrenheit temperature and approx. 10 seconds is adequate to meet your t-shirt printing needs. The range will vary if you’re working on thicker garments- like hoodies or sweatshirts.
5. Size
The choice of the heat transfer you buy should primarily be fueled by the space available as well as the size of the garments you’re working on.
I’d suggest that you consider the bigger models- measuring 16 x 20 inch as they offer you a larger working space.
Models smaller than this are great if you’re on a budget- though they might not offer you a comfortable working space when printing on larger garments such as XL tees and hoodies.
If you’re working on kids t-shirts, models as small as 9 x 12 inch will serve you well.
If you’ve limited space at your office or home, consider investing in compact models that are space-efficient.
