If you have a heat press machine, whether as part of your designing business or for small printing projects, you’ve most likely thought about purchasing a heat press stand. A robust stand or heat press table will allow you to place your machine properly, and in the long run, allow you to work more effectively. While you could be considering using a regular table, this might not be a good idea since it is not heavy-duty enough to carry a heat press machine’s weight.
