Designed to reduce the risk of scorch marks on heat-sensitive polyester or synthetic fabrics, this heated lower platen has a built-in heat printing pillow. Available in 3 sizes, each controlled by one interchangeable digital controller (sold separately).

Application instructions are for polyester or synthetic fabrics only. Make sure to increase the time if you are using a thicker garment. Do not pre-heat polyester or synthetic garments.

Features:

  • Built-in pillow conforms to any substrate
  • 3 sizes - 6" x 6", 11" x 15", 16" x 20" - to handle anything from full size garments to kid size, sleeves, and more
  • Controller includes digital temperature display for accurate application
  • Quick disconnect design allows you use one controller (sold separately) with different platen sizes
  • UL, ULc, CE approved
  • Two-year warranty
  • Must have a designated circuit breaker

Benefits:

  • Applies heat from below, reducing the heat needed from the upper platen, eliminating scorching on heat-sensitive fabrics
  • Insulating properties keep bottom of platen cool-to-the-touch when changing
  • Fully Threadable when used with a Heat Press Caddie
  • Eliminates the need to pre-heat garments and promotes a quicker bond between adhesive and fabric, reducing production time
  • Reduced upper platen temperature protects delicate embroidery and appliqué from overheating, helping them retain their full dimension.
  • Reduces the risk of dye migration on polyester substrates
