Great Heat Press for Beginners to Professional DTF Transfer shops

The HIX SwingMan 20 Swing-Away Heat Press is engineered for professionals who demand high-quality results, maximum pressure, and a safer, more ergonomic workflow. Whether you're producing vibrant DTF transfers, sublimating on metal or ceramic blanks, or applying heat transfer vinyl, the SwingMan 20 offers the control and consistency your shop needs.

With its swing-away design, this heat press gives you full access to the lower platen, reducing the risk of contact burns and making garment setup faster and easier. It’s the go-to choice for decorators working with a variety of substrates — especially when precision and safety are non-negotiable.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ Swing-Away Design for Safer, Faster Setup
The top platen rotates nearly 180° out of the way, giving you unobstructed access to the lower platen for easy positioning of garments and substrates — especially helpful for sublimation blanks or thicker items.

✅ Heavy-Duty Downward Pressure with Minimal Effort
Thanks to HIX’s exclusive linkage system, this press delivers over 1,200 lbs of vertical pressure with very little manual force. That means sharp, even transfers on everything from t-shirts to hard substrates.

✅ Advanced Heat Cast Platen for Uniform Temperature
The 16" x 20" heat platen is made from an in-house cast proprietary aluminum alloy designed to maximize heat transfer. It maintains even heat across the entire surface for consistent, pro-level results.

✅ Floating Lower Platen = Consistent Edge-to-Edge Pressure
The lower platen adjusts to material thickness and ensures even pressure — critical for sublimation, DTF, or any heat transfer process where flawless coverage matters.

✅ User-Friendly LCD Touchscreen Controls
Set your time and temperature quickly and accurately using the color touchscreen controller. Real-time pressure display and user presets let you streamline your workflow for common jobs.

✅ Spring-Assist Handle with Enhanced Leverage
The easy-to-use handle is spring-assisted for smoother operation and allows up to 20% more applied pressure compared to standard straight-handle designs — with less physical strain.

✅ All-Metal Industrial Construction
Built to withstand daily use in professional print shops, the SwingMan 20 features a durable all-metal frame that’s ready for long production runs.
