Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or pick up the Hotronix FUSION IQ Heat Press locally?
You can place your order online and choose convenient local pickup at either the Lawson Screen & Digital Products corporate headquarters in St. Louis, MO, or our Atlanta branch in Marietta, GA. Pickup coordination can also be arranged through satellite centers in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

What is the advantage of a dual swing-away and draw heat press?
The dual function allows complete workspace flexibility. Swinging the upper platen away provides a safe, heat-free area to position transfers without working under a hot heating element, while the draw function lets you pull the lower platen forward for quick garment loading.

What is Smart IQ Technology?
Smart IQ Technology includes a color digital touchscreen display that lets you store programmed time, temperature, and pressure recipes for specific substrates. It also connects via Wi-Fi to a cloud portal, allowing shop owners to monitor production stats and operator efficiency.

Can I swap lower platens on the Fusion IQ for smaller items?
Yes! The Fusion IQ features a Quick Change platen mechanism that allows you to swap lower platens in seconds without tools. You can attach specialized platens for sleeves, shoes, bags, youth apparel, and caps.

Does the Hotronix Fusion IQ require an air compressor?
No, the standard Hotronix Fusion IQ operates manually with a smooth lever mechanism and does not require an external air compressor.
