Craft Press
Whether you're an experienced crafting professional or just starting out, the hand-held Craft Express ™ heat press is an excellent investment for anyone looking to take their transfer printing or heat transfer vinyl projects to the next level.
Aimed at both the craft and low volume market, it provides unmatched versatility, ease of use, and long-term reliability.
Perfect for heat transfer vinyl, metal, fabric transfers, ceramics, sublimation slate, hardboard and more. It excels at pressing those areas that are hard to reach with a traditional flat T-shirt press like the side of a kit bag or the side of a shoe.
