The heat press is a machine used to transfer graphics onto items like T-shirts, bags, jerseys and more. Materials that can be transferred include heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, rhinestones, and more. Within the Hub, the heat press works in conjunction with the vinyl printer and cutter to adhere vinyl to cloth and is commonly used to make custom t-shirts or to add logos to clothing. A brief video about the heat press can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-4CURwng5c here].
