Applying transfers is like printing money. There are two serious events that can stop you from making money. The first occurs when everything is in place and your machine stops working. Each minute of down time is another lost opportunity to sell a shirt. A lost opportunity to make ten dollars. The second problem is even more serious. It happens when you make a transfer that looks great until it is washed and your customer returns it because part of the image is ruined.  Each returned product is potentially a lost customer. Protect your business and enjoy the confidence that comes with equipment from HIX. All HIX premier transfer machines have a lifetime warranty on the heating element and a five-year warranty on HIX machined parts.

HIX Premier Heat Transfer Machines offer a degree of quality and valve matched by no one else in the industry. Over 30 years of manufacturing experience and strict adherence to high quality standards have made HIX machines the best and the most popular. HIX cap and shirt presses have been placed in nearly 100,000 shops all over the world. HIX Heat Transfer Machines are recommended b the best manufactures of heat transfers because they work every day, every time. HIX Air-operated Heat Transfer Machines are the easiest to use for correctly applying hot splits, puff, foil and standard plastisol transfers. Available in a 16” x 20” or 20” x 25” platen, they feature state-of-the-art controls for TIME TEMPERATURE and PRESSURE. These HIX performers let you produce any type of transfer with confidence. Air controlled platen pressure with automatic open and electronic reset timer help create the perfect bond for all types of transfers. Air assist closing and automatic platen release increases shop production and reduces operator fatigue thus lowering costs by eliminating mistakes.

More than 30,000 HIX cap transfer machines are in use throughout the world working side by side with our shirt presses. These reliable machines include Teflon transfer hold down and automatic re-set timers. All HIX Heat Transfer Machines use a strategically placed single “cast in” heat rod for the industry’s most exact and even heat. No part of the casting is more than 2” from the element thereby insuring the quickest heating and heat recovery. Some manufactures attempt to use two or more heat rods. We believe this is fundamentally wrong. Two heat rods in the same casing must be exactly matched for resistance or they will heat differently causing one side of the casting to be hotter or colder than the other. Heat rod manufacturers can only guarantee a + or – 5% accuracy on resistance specifications. This could equal + or – 45 watts on a two element 1,800 watt (2 x 900) watt element 16”x20” heat casting. This means a temperature variance of as much as 20° F. across the casting surface could result. Actual tests show up to 27° F. range on a competitive 16”x20” machine set at 390°F vs. a 3° F. variance for HIX. All upper heat and lower padded castings are single pass “fly cut” on a vertical mill equipped with 21” diameter cutter. This one pass process ensures that the castings are true and flat, which is critical consideration with today’s high-tech transfers.

Every heat casting manufactured at HIX is cast in permanent steel cavity mold using HIX exclusive aluminum alloy for maximum heat transfer. Castings are engineered to be thick enough to provide even heat but light enough to heat up quickly on startup and to re-heat quickly transfer after transfer. In order to provide maximum heat transfer efficiency from the heat rod element, each rod is “cast in” and sheathed with copper. All HIX transfer machines have a lifetime warranty on the heating element. At HIX we believe that quality and durability are the most important features a machine can offer. All of the components we use are the highest quality, ensuring the machines we sell will function property for years. Don’t be fooled by imitations.
