HIX HT-400 Manual Clamshell Heat Press
A HIX-recommended startup press in a compact size. The HT-400 offers the same easy operation and even, edge-to-edge impressions as its bigger sibling in a 15" x 15" footprint — perfect for new shops, crafters, and tighter benches. The floating lower platen keeps pressure even, and HIX's in-house heat casting ensures consistent temperature across the platen.
