How To Use The Hotronix 10x10cm Heat Press Platen

The Hotronix Lower Platen range is a series of 15 interchangeable platens compatible with all Hotronix heat presses. They've been designed with heat printing versatility in mind so that your heat press purchase is a purchase for life (not just for Christmas). As your heat printing business grows and you look into introducing new products and different garments to your business offering, Hotronix ensures that you can do that without having to shell out for a new heat press over and over again. 

The interchangeable platen range clips in and out of each Hotronix heat press. Look for the lever under the right-hand side of your lower platen, pull it out towards you, and you'll be able to slip your platen on or off. 

The platen range enables you to print a multitude of unique and high-value products such as shoes and caps. 

But today we're exploring the use of the 10x10cm platen.

Compatible with any size Hotronix heat press

You might be thinking, you just told be it's the Hotronix platen range, why are you telling me it's compatible? 

Because the Hotronix heat press range comes in many sizes. We offer heat presses with upper platens in sizes: 28x38cm, 40x40cm and 40x50cm. Unfortunately, if a heat press platen size is larger than your heat press heated platen size, when you bring your press down for a fuse, you risk parts of your garment not being under the heated platen. So while a large platen on a small heat press wouldn't be wholly incompatible, it does render their uses limited. Find out more about our heat press range here.

How to use the 10x10cm Hotronix Platen:

This tiny piece of metal is the perfect-sized platen for printing neck labels inside your garments. Why would you want to spend the extra time and money branding your garments? To get referral business and quietly market your services to every single wearer! When ganging your neck label designs onto one heat transfer sheet you can get your neck label price down to just pence per transfer. All you have to do is cut the designs out of the sheet when it arrives. Would you pay 10p per garment for referral business? I would.

It's also great for isolating left chest logo spaces too. If you're working with a garment that has a thick collar, hoodie toggles or a pocket, you can ensure that all of these obstructions fall off the platen and out of the way with this sized lower platen.
