Vector Pro 16” x 24” Auto Open Slide Out Heat Press

Expand your pressing area, simplify garment loading, and scale up print production with the Vector Pro 16" x 24" Auto Open Slide Out Heat Press (V1624Pro-AS). Built for custom print shops, retail decorators, and expanding print businesses across North America, this commercial-grade heat press delivers maximum surface coverage without sacrificing precision or floor space.

Featuring an oversized 16" x 24" lower platen, the Vector Pro easily accommodates large-format transfers, full-front graphic prints, oversized hoodies, jerseys, banners, and multi-item layouts. Its drawer-style slide-out lower platen pulls completely forward, creating a heat-free preparation zone where operators can align graphics safely away from the upper heating element.

Equipped with an electromagnetic auto-open release mechanism, the upper heating head automatically lifts when the timer cycle finishes. This crucial feature prevents accidental fabric scorching, eliminates worker fatigue during long shifts, and allows operators to multitask across other shop duties with peace of mind. Combined with generous lower threadable clearance and a quick-change lower platen system, dressing garments and swapping between specialized platen sizes is fast and effortless.
