Which heat press should I buy for sublimation?

I always recommend USA-made presses to ensure many years of service with excellent support. Swing-away style presses are my personal favorite because they provide adjustable pressure for substrates up to 2 inches thick. With desktop, mid-format, and large-format presses available, choosing a model depends on your production level and the size of the substrates you’ll be producing. A good sublimation partner can give you the guidance needed to make the right choice.
