Hi Guys, been about 3 weeks now and im learning everyday. so glad i bought my mug press rather than a all in one at the moment. soon i will move to the next step and purchase a heat press, but what i would like to know is at the moment im heating to 180c for my mugs and they are coming out fine. But what do i need to do if i was to move on to more delecate items like ipad cases and iphone cases and jigsaws etc. will a standard Heat Press do all these or am i barking up the wrong tree and a tottaly different method is used. might sound a silly question but some basic answers will help me loads.
thanks

If you are looking to print ipad cases, iphones cases etc a decent flat bed press is what you need. In terms of iphone cases, samsung cases, uni-keyrings and any other small item i use a plate press as it saves heating up the big presses and keeps them free for larger jobs like t-shirts, slates, jigsaws etc

so, how would you say stop the iphone case etc from melting?

You only print onto a piece of flat metal and that sticks to the back of the iPhone case - simples

A heat press for various things will need different pressures and times, most suppliers have times and pressure on their sites. Bms have times ect on their web sites which I always check if I'm not sure
