There were a lot of great questions and suggestions posted during our Choosing the Right Heat Press for your Business webinar yesterday afternoon. We wanted to use our blog to answer some of those questions.
Marsha suggested: “Please offer for sale a stand (with wheels) for the heat press, preferably with shelves underneath for supplies.”
Marsha we have has this suggestion often and it has been the topic of a blog post previously so I know it’s popular. In our training facility we store all of our heat press equipment on Rubbermaid Utility Carts that we purchase from Uline.
Rubbermaid Utility Cart
These carts are durable, and easy to keep clean. The wheels come in handy whenever you need to make more work space or rearrange your work area. The storage shelf below is handy, and there are drawer units that can be purchased separately to provide additional storage.
Tony asked: “Do you make the videos that you show during webinars available on the web. Not the whole webinar, just the videos?”
Yes, we post all of our videos to our YouTube channel. To find our videos on YouTube simply type Great Garment Graphics into the search field.

We purchased a couple of carts from Uline, one with a flat top and the other with a tray on top. They work great, especially if you are tight for space. We put our older clamshell press and hat press on the tray-top cart. It’s a personal preference but I like having the tray on top to store smaller items and it keeps everything contained too. The platen on my clamshell is higher than the walls of the tray so it doesn’t obstruct my work. The flat-top cart is for our Fusion. A tray would block the draw part from working. But this press is so heavy, it isn’t going anywhere.
Thanks for sharing your Tim. I know that customers will find this information helpful. I have another question that was posted up in the webinar yesterday and I wanted your opinion – when using your Fusion press which do you prefer the draw or the swinger?
If I’m pressing transfers, which don’t have any tackiness on the carrier, I prefer the swinger. The draw action on the press is very smooth but I would be afraid the transfer might move with the draw action. When I press hoodies, I like to thread them and use the swinger too. They are so bulky I don’t want to move them once in position. I use the draw when I thread bags and press vinyl or T-shirts when pressing vinyl. And sometimes I’ll load with the swinger and use the draw to remove the transfer. It’s like a big toy so there are a number of ways to play with it and not get bored:)
