Vector 15" x 15" Swing Away Heat Press

Built for print shops, garment decorators, and serious custom makers who require reliable performance and exact temperature control, the Vector 15" x 15" Swing Away Heat Press (V1515-SW) delivers professional transfer results in a compact, safe design. Engineered for custom apparel businesses and sublimation specialists across North America, this heavy-duty press combines versatile functionality with daily shop dependability.

Featuring a full 180-degree swing-away design, the upper heating element moves completely out of the loading area. This creates a safer, heat-free workspace that simplifies garment alignment while enabling the upper platen to hover directly above textiles—making it an ideal solution not only for standard heat transfers, but also for screen print curing and DTG (Direct-to-Garment) ink drying.

Equipped with an exclusive secondary leverage handle, operators gain extra mechanical leverage for smoother, safer clamping without physical strain. Combined with true vertical downward pressure and a 4-point spring-mounted heating element, the Vector V1515-SW guarantees completely flat, even contact across thick garments, ceramic tiles, and rigid substrates. This precise pressure calibration makes it an outstanding choice for hard goods sublimation, including ornaments, plaques, nameplates, license plates, and custom promotional items.
