16″ × 20″ Clamshell Heat Press — HP3804D-F

The press most shops should start with. A 16″ × 20″ platen covers a full adult front, and with the lower platens it covers youth shirts, sleeves, pockets and hat bills. Right for a copy shop adding shirt work, a single classroom, or any program under roughly 100 shirts a week.

Auto-open, and you are not working over the heat

It opens by itself when the timer ends, so a garment cannot scorch because someone got distracted — the single most common way a press ruins a shirt.

The base slides out, so you thread the shirt on at the front of the machine rather than reaching across a hot platen. Sounds minor until you have done forty of them.

Built for pressure, not just heat

DTF transfers need firm, even pressure to release cleanly. This one is built heavy for it, and the base is thread-able and interchangeable — lower platens change in seconds without tools.

Specifications

• Platen: 16″ × 20″
• Power: 120V — plugs into a standard outlet
• Shipping: 93 lb, ships parcel

Twelve month warranty

Twelve months, and we handle it. A lot of this equipment is sold with six. If something fails you call Lawrenceville and speak to people who press garments themselves, rather than opening a ticket with a distributor who has never run the machine.

It arrives branded

Every press we ship carries the MoreTranz logo. Not vanity — it puts the name and number of whoever supports the machine on the machine. The booster volunteer three years from now, who was not there when it was bought, can see who to call.

It is not a dead end

Every lower platen and Teflon cover that fits this press also fits our dual platen machine. Buy the accessories once. If your program outgrows this press, you are buying a bigger machine, not a whole new setup.

The rest of the heat press range

• 16″ × 20″ dual platen press — the volume machine, still a one-person station. Load one side while the other presses.
• Cap and patch press — hats, beanies and patches. Upper and lower platens set separately, which is what a curved seam needs.
• Lower platens — sleeve, youth, label, cap bill, can cooler and more. Tool-free, and they fit both flat presses.
• Teflon platen covers — the cheapest thing you can do to make a platen last.
• Equipment cart — rolling, and the deck cranks from 15″ to 35.5″ for standing or seated work.

Schools, districts and booster clubs

We quote for requisitions. Email us what you need and we will send a quote you can attach to a purchase order, with a firm total — freight included, not "call for a shipping quote". A bookkeeper cannot submit a requisition against a number that might move.

Net 30 once your district has us set up. Georgia public schools and colleges are automatically exempt from sales tax and need no form from us; booster clubs and other 501(c)(3) groups are exempt once we have your ST-5 on file.

Our invoices read Morché Designs dba MoreTranz — the name already in several Georgia vendor systems, which is usually the slowest part of buying anything.
