This is a picture of a heat press. It is used to press letters and numbers onto things like t-shirts. My dad and I use one at our family business, Gametime, where we screen print. It is like a modern more graphic way of printing. It is used most to put letters on jerseys but can also be used to put on pictures or any other design. The quality is good, as long as you press the design for the right amount of time and you put the design on straight. I was attracted to this piece because I was working at Gametime this weekend and had to use the heat press. It is not as easy as it looks, it takes a few tried to get used to it. I thought that it relates to the type press only it is a modern day type press and and used on a different substrate.
This is really sweet that you have a personal experience working with a type of press. I agree with the modern day press because that heated press is a lot smaller than the older presses.
