Auto-Release Function

No more sitting around and babysitting your heat press! Unlike manual heat presses, all of Ricoma’s heat presses have an auto-release feature. This means that when the timer runs out, the heat press automatically lifts the heating plate. A feature like this saves you time by allowing you to confidently complete other tasks, like DTG printing or using an embroidery machine, without worrying that the cap will be pressed longer than the timer allots.

Press All Kinds of Caps

With the Ricoma cap heat press, you won’t be restricted to just heat pressing one type of cap. Its curved heating plate can accommodate many cap styles, including trucker, fitted, snapback, strapback, flexfit, 5-panel, visor caps, and more.

Multiple Application Methods

The Ricoma cap heat press can do several heat transfer applications. You can use it to do digitally printed heat transfers, screen printed transfers, heat transfer vinyl, sublimation, and much more. You can even attach rhinestones and embroidery patches to caps with this heat press. Additionally, you can use the cap heat press with a Ricoma embroidery machine to create mixed-media products that will attract customers and raise profits.
