Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or pick up the Hotronix® Auto Clam 6" x 6" LowRider™ Heat Press?
You can order directly online through Lawson Screen & Digital Products or pick it up at one of our locations in St. Louis, MO, or Atlanta, GA.

What applications is the Hotronix LowRider™ best suited for?
The 6" x 6" size is specifically designed for heat printing shirt neck labels, sleeve logos, left-chest designs, bag pockets, hats, youth apparel, and small patches.

How does the Threadable Lower Platen help with printing?
The elevated lower platen assembly allows you to thread garments directly over the press. This isolates your target print area so thick seams, buttons, collars, and zippers hang below the surface, ensuring flat and even pressure.

What are the electrical requirements for operating this heat press?
The LowRider runs on standard 120V power and consumes only 360 Watts (3 Amps), making it extremely energy efficient and ideal for mobile printing setups or crowded shop circuits.

Does this heat press open automatically?
Yes. It features Hotronix's patented Magnetic Auto-Open design, which automatically opens the press when the timer reaches zero to prevent over-application or scorched garments.

Can I switch out the lower platen for different sizes?
Yes. The LowRider is compatible with Hotronix quick-change lower platens, allowing you to swap in optional smaller sizes like 4" round, 4" x 4", or 4" x 5" landscape platens.

What warranty coverage comes with the Hotronix LowRider™?
It is backed by a lifetime warranty on the heating element, a 5-year framework warranty, a 2-year circuit board warranty, and 1 year of coverage for parts and labor.

Description

The Hotronix® Threadable LowRider™ Heat Press is a specialized, compact clamshell press engineered for small-format heat printing. Featuring a 6" x 6" base heating platen and a threadable lower design, it isolates print areas so zippers, seams, buttons, and thick collar hems fall below the pressing surface.

Designed for heat-applying neck labels, patches, sleeve logos, left-chest graphics, and specialty apparel items, the LowRider™ pairs digital precision with a portable footprint. Its low draw and lightweight frame make it a choice for high-volume decoration shops, mobile event printing, or dedicated tag-printing stations.
