HP-3838 / HP-4060 Flat Heat Press Machine

Core Abstract The HP-3838 / HP-4060 is a cost-effective, compact flatbed heat press machine built for small-batch heat transfer onto flat substrates such as T-shirts, canvas bags, and mouse pads.

Its core advantages include an M-type densely arranged cast-aluminum heating plate that delivers uniform, edge-to-center heat without color cast; a manual top-mounted pressure knob for quick adjustment across different substrate thicknesses; and a smart digital controller with accurate ±1℃ temperature control and automatic timing. Available in two platen sizes (38×38 cm and 40×60 cm) with 1400W and 2400W power, it offers light weight (23 kg / 35 kg) and space-saving clamshell operation for flexible studio use.
