In the ever-evolving world of custom apparel and accessories, the Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Heat Press stands out as a game-changer. This innovative heat press from Hotronix® is engineered to revolutionize the way you approach hat printing, offering unparalleled versatility and precision.

Eliminate Creasing and Scorching

One of the most common challenges in hat printing is the dreaded crease or scorch mark. These unsightly blemishes can ruin an otherwise stunning design and leave your customers disappointed. The Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Press, however, is designed to eliminate these issues altogether.

Thanks to its patented Dual Silicone Platen™ technology, the heat press applies even, consistent pressure across the entire surface of the hat. This ensures that your designs are transferred seamlessly, without any unwanted creases or scorching. Say goodbye to the frustration of ruined hats and hello to flawless, professional-looking results every time.

Print on All Sides of the Hat

One of the standout features of the Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Press is its ability to print on all sides of the hat. Whether you're looking to add a logo to the front, a personalized message to the side, or a bold graphic to the back, this heat press has you covered.

The 360-degree rotation of the platen allows you to easily access and print on every inch of the hat, giving you the freedom to unleash your creativity. No more settling for a single-sided design – with the Hotronix® 360 IQ®, you can transform any hat into a canvas for your artistic vision.

Independent Heat Control

Precision is key when it comes to heat pressing, and the Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Press delivers on this front. With independent heat control for the upper and lower platens, you can fine-tune the temperature and pressure to suit the specific needs of your project.

This level of control is particularly useful when working with delicate fabrics or intricate designs. By adjusting the heat and pressure independently, you can ensure that the transfer adheres perfectly without compromising the integrity of the hat material.

Bonding Adhesives from Underneath

One of the unique capabilities of the Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Press is its ability to bond adhesives from underneath the hat. This feature is especially beneficial when working with thick or dimensional items, such as embroidered patches or 3D emblems.

By applying heat and pressure from the underside of the hat, the Hotronix® 360 IQ® ensures a secure, long-lasting bond that won't peel or lift over time. This not only enhances the durability of your designs but also allows you to create truly eye-catching, professional-looking hats that will impress your customers.

Versatile Foam Cover Pads

Included with the Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Press are two foam cover pads, designed to accommodate a wide range of hat styles and materials. Whether you're working with thick, structured caps or delicate, lightweight fabrics, these cover pads will help you achieve the perfect application every time.

The foam pads conform to the shape of the hat, providing a smooth, even surface for heat transfer. This not only ensures a flawless finish but also helps to protect the hat material from any potential damage during the pressing process.

Bonus: Free Sample Pack

As if the Hotronix® 360 IQ® Hat Press wasn't already a game-changer, Hotronix® is sweetening the deal with a free sample pack of ready-to-apply Emblems & Patches. This exclusive bonus allows you to dive right into customizing hats and exploring the endless possibilities of this versatile heat press.

MORE INFO

Dual Heated Hat Press Settings

To achieve optimal results, make sure the bottom platen is set to 320°F and the top platen is set to 280°F.

Press for 35 seconds.

Note: Press down on your leatherette patch for a few seconds

When applying the patch, use a moderate to high heat setting and apply mild pressure while moving around the patch for 30 to 45 seconds.

Cricut Hat Press

300°F for 50 seconds while applying medium pressure.

Laser Compatibility & Settings

Most lasers should be compatible with Hydbond leatherette as long as the wattage is 10W or higher.

This includes the following manufactures just to name a few. Epilog, Trotec, X-Tool, Thunder, OM-TECH, Full spectrum, etc.

LASER SETTINGS

Due to the multitude of laser manufacturers and the varying wattages available, it can be quite challenging to provide accurate settings tailored to your specific laser. We recommend conducting a series of experiments using a small piece of our leatherette in order to find the optimal settings for your laser.

Leatherette Cleaning

Hydbond Leatherette should be cleaned with a product called LA AWESOME.

LA AWESOME, a non-toxic degreaser is the perfect choice for those seeking an effective solution for business or home use.

To ensure optimal results and preserve the quality of your engravings, begin by spraying a small quantity on a microfiber cloth and softly wiping the leatherette surface to eliminate any char or residue caused by the burning of your laser. You can repeat this process until most, if not all char is removed.

Note: During this process, it is essential to maintain a slight and uniform pressure.

Washing

Hand wash is always our first recommended method.

Wash with soap and water, avoid scrubbing on the patch to preserve engravings.

Noah's Recommendations & Tips

Hey there! This is Noah with Hydbond. Owner & Founder

Thank you for your interest in our leatherette. Our leatherette is extremely easy to work with, so if you are a beginner in the industry or an expert looking to add leatherette to your line of work, you've came to the right place!

Working with our Metallic Leatherette (Black/Silver, Blue/Silver)

Metallics can be hard to work with your first time, but trust me. It's all in the Laser settings! It takes VERY little power in order to reveal the metallic color underneath so keep that in mind when you are trying to dial in your settings. Also, ensure your focus is spot on. It's essential to keep your leatherette as flat as possible while engraving. Any part of your laser lens out of focus, will make a significant impact on the quality of your engravings.

Cleaning

I've been using LA AWESOME as a cleaner for quite some time and it works fantastic! Just make sure not to rub too hard as you can lift some of the color off of the leatherette.

Beginner tips

Make sure to grab a heat resistant silicone or foam pad. You will use these a lot. Place it over your patch right before you press to avoid scorching & patch contamination.

To maintain a flat surface on your laser bed, you CAN remove the paper transfer before engraving. If you decide to do this, ensure that you wipe the glue side with a damp microfiber towel before pressing your patch to remove any dust or debris contamination.
