Hotronix® Dual Air Fusion ProPlace IQ™ Heat Press

The most advanced press Hotronix makes. Two independent 16″×20″ air-operated stations let one operator load one side while the other presses — continuous, high-volume output. The Fusion IQ™ touchscreen runs Position-Based Recipe printing and self-diagnostics, and the optional patented ProPlace IQ™ system projects your cloud artwork right onto the platen so every transfer lands in exactly the right spot.

Why Shops Choose the Dual Air Fusion ProPlace IQ
