Serious DTF Transfer Production with this Automatic Heat Press

The HIX N-880 Air-Operated Clamshell Heat Press is built to handle the demands of serious print shops. Engineered for commercial-grade performance, this powerful pneumatic press combines hands-free operation with heavy-duty durability — making it the perfect solution for high-volume DTF transfers, sublimation, and other heat-applied graphics.

Its air-powered lift system reduces the physical strain of manual pressing, allowing operators to work longer with less fatigue. Whether you’re running a busy apparel business or expanding your production capacity, the N-880 delivers reliable, professional results with every press.

🔧 Built Tough for Real Workloads

The N-880 is constructed with an all-metal industrial frame, long-lasting pneumatic air cylinder, and a large 16" x 20" heat platen — giving you the power and space you need to handle large garments, hoodies, tote bags, and more.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ Hands-Free Pneumatic Operation
Powered by a durable air cylinder (87 PSI required), the N-880 reduces manual effort and increases production speed — ideal for high-output workflows.

✅ Fast Clamping with Oversized Air Valve
A larger air valve allows for quicker opening and closing cycles, helping you complete jobs faster without sacrificing quality or consistency.

✅ Precision Heat Control
The in-house engineered cast aluminum platen ensures even heat distribution across the surface, delivering flawless transfers every time — even on thicker or uneven materials.

✅ Floating Lower Platen for Even Pressure
The floating bottom platen automatically adjusts to the material's thickness, applying uniform pressure from edge to edge — critical for DTF, sublimation, and specialty prints.

✅ Full-Color Touchscreen Controller
Easily manage heat and time with the intuitive LCD touchscreen. Monitor pressure in real time and save your most-used settings with built-in user presets.

✅ Advanced Pressure Plate Design
Instead of a single-point mount, the handle connects to a 4” x 5” pressure plate that applies even force across the platen — delivering cleaner results and reducing edge fading.

✅ All-Metal Construction with Wide Clamshell Opening
Built for daily use, the N-880’s rugged design includes reinforced bushings for long-term durability and a wide opening for easy garment loading and unloading.
