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/cutter as well as the dye sublimation printer.  Depending on the materials used there are different processes required.  If using heat transfer vinyl it will adhere the material to cloth and is commonly used to make custom t-shirts or to add logos to clothing. One of the down sides of using vinyl is the raised material left on the fabric.  The dye sublimation process is much easier to work with and the ink is vaporized and penetrates into the fabric without leaving a raised surface.

Another advantage over vinyl is the ability to produce many colors in one transfer.
