Questions & Answers

How does the electromagnetic auto-open feature protect garments?
When the set countdown timer finishes, an internal electromagnet disengages, causing the gas shock cylinders to lift the upper platen automatically. This stops heat application immediately, preventing fabric scorching if the operator is busy prepping another item.

The drawer pulls completely forward away from the heated upper platen, giving operators a clear, uninhibited surface to lay out garments, center transfers, and align graphics without risking burns on their hands or arms.

What transfer materials work best with the Vector Pro 15" x 15"?
The press is fully optimized for Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, white toner transfers, and dye sublimation on flat textiles.

Does the slide-out drawer platen require an air compressor?
No, the drawer operates manually and smoothly on high-grade bearing slides, while the auto-open feature uses an electromagnetic release—requiring no air compressor.

Where does the Vector Pro ship from and how is technical support handled?
Orders ship directly from the primary distribution hub in California, supported by regional technical service and customer support teams across St. Louis, Atlanta, Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.
