What this page is
buythis.co.za/heat-press-consumables is the heat press section of Buythis, AM.CO.ZA's online shop. On the live page it is only a heading, a link to heat press videos and tiles to single-function presses, multi-function presses, roll-to-roll roller presses, heat press accessories, heat press spare parts and the Heatware brand site. This knowledge base page explains what a heat press uses up and which parts wear out, and lists the main consumables, attachments and spare parts currently on Buythis with their prices (69 products in total).
What a heat press uses up
- Transfer media. Sublimation printing puts dye sublimation ink on sublimation paper, and the heat press moves the image into polyester fabric or a coated blank (mug, plate, tumbler). Cotton and dark fabrics need a heat transfer paper made for them instead.
- Protection and holding. Thermal tape holds the paper on the blank so the image does not shift or ghost. A non-stick PTFE (Teflon) sheet or protective paper between the heat plate and the job keeps ink and glue off the plate. The silicone foam mat on the lower platen evens out the pressure and wears flat over time.
- Heating pads and attachments. Multi-function presses (the Heatware Multitalent MT and Hobby ranges) take interchangeable heating pads for mugs, cups, tumblers, caps, plates, shoes and pens. Pads are replaced when they stop heating evenly, or added to take on new products.
- Wearing parts. Controllers, display boards, motherboards and switches on clamshell, mug and multi-function presses. On roll-to-roll roller presses the Nomex felt blanket, heater elements, motor, tension bars and temperature sensors.

The blanket on a roller press presses the paper and fabric against the heated drum and is the main wearing part. It is sized by press width, so match the blanket width, length and thickness to your machine. Buythis also lists gears, pulley studs, brackets, handwheels and a gearbox for 1600mm roller presses.
Prices are current Buythis prices including VAT from the product dump dated 2026-10-20. Some prices come from slightly older dump entries (2026-10-17, 2026-10-18, 2026-10-19). Check the product page before ordering, since prices change.
How to choose
- Match paper and ink to the job. Sublimation paper with sublimation ink works on polyester fabric and coated blanks. For cotton use the all-fabric transfer paper, and for dark fabric use the dark transfer paper. Roll paper is for large format sublimation printers feeding a roller press.
- Keep spares of the basics. Thermal tape, a Teflon sheet or protective paper and a spare silicone mat are used on almost every job.
- Check the press model before ordering a part. Pads, boards and controllers are made for specific presses; the product names list the press SKUs they fit, such as
H-HOBBY/MUG,H-HOBBY/M5orH-PRESS/CUP. - Look after the roller press blanket. Prepare a new blanket and keep it centred to make it last; the blanket care videos below show how.
