Benefits Of Using A Heat Plate Over An Iron
This heat press offers a uniform temperature, and with the pressure, you get a cleaner and more professional finish. With an iron, you won’t get that even consistency over the project, especially if it is larger in size.
Plus the temperature is a lot higher with a heat plate, so it takes a shorter time and helps to seal the items into the product better.
I have been loving my EasyPress 2, and highly recommend considering getting one if you don’t own one! It will completely transform your projects in a good way.
