How a multi-function heat press works
A heat press transfers a printed design onto an item with heat, pressure and time. A multi-function press has one heat and timer control unit and a set of swappable heating attachments: a flat platen for T-shirts, bags and other flat items, curved pads for mugs, cups and caps, round pads for plates, and on the larger sets a shoe platen and a pen pad. You plug in the attachment for the job, set the temperature and time, and press. One machine therefore replaces several dedicated presses, which suits a small business or start-up that brands many kinds of gift and promotional item in small runs. The trade-off is speed: you press one item at a time and change attachments between jobs, so for high volumes of one item a dedicated press is faster.

- H-HOBBY/P5 is the portable version: a 1000 W, 250 x 300 mm flat press up to 200 °C with the same mug, cap and plate accessories, at about 7.4 kg.
- H-HOBBY/3D combines a 180 x 205 mm flat heating pad (usable as a small T-shirt press) with a silicone vacuum chamber. The vacuum pulls the transfer tight around shaped items such as phone cases, stone, aluminium and crystal plates, and a vacuum mug clamp takes mugs up to 90 mm in diameter and 260 mm long. It is 800 W, reaches 220 °C and weighs about 12 kg.
On the Hobby machines the warranty covers the main electronic components only; accessories, attachments and consumables carry no warranty, and no additional or replacement attachments are available.
