Built for garment decorators who demand professional print quality, effortless operation, and shop versatility, the Vector Pro 15" x 15" Auto Open Slide Out Heat Press delivers consistent heating and commercial dependability in a compact footprint. Engineered for small production facilities, retail customization shops, and home-based apparel businesses across North America, this clamshell press streamlines everyday heat transfer workflows.

Featuring an electromagnetic auto-open mechanism, the heating platen lifts automatically when the digital timer countdown completes—safeguarding garments from over-curing while allowing operators to safely multitask during busy shifts. The slide-out lower platen drawer combined with increased threadable clearance makes garment loading, transfer alignment, and shirt dressing faster, safer, and more convenient away from the hot upper element.

Equipped with a quick-change lower platen system, the Vector Pro enables rapid platen swaps to decorate various apparel items and accessories without tedious setup delays. Precise digital time and temperature controls ensure even heat retention and repeatable pressure across DTF transfers, HTV vinyl, sublimation, and custom screen-printed transfers.
