Questions & Answers
Everyone has questions. Tell us yours.
- Q: Sometimes when I lock down my Auto Clam it releases too soon. Any suggestions?
- A: If you can't get your heat press to stay closed, there may be too much pressure, or the round magnet on the adjustment arm may need cleaning. Check with your manufacturer.
- Q: After being on and not used for several hours, my Auto Clam shuts off. Is this a feature that can be changed?
- A: The Auto Clam has a manual safety feature with an automatic shut off if the machine is idle for two or more hours. This feature cannot be disabled. Refer to your owner's manual for information on how to reset.
- Q: How can I check the pressure setting on my heat press?
- A: Lower the upper platen and lock it into place. Heat presses with a pressure readout will display the setting on the front panel.
- Q: The handle on my Auto Clam heat press only releases one or two inches, then stops and is very hard to lift. How can I get it to work normally?
- A: The gas springs may be loose. A replacement can be ordered from Hotronix®.
- Q: What voltage are the Hotronix® heat presses sold in?
- A: Hotronix® Heat Presses are available in both 110V or 220V.

They never, ever disappoint me. I've been doing business with them for over 10yrs now. Purchase many pcs. of equipment, printers, presses, vinyl and supplies from them. They have a very knowledgeable staff that know about the equipment they sell. Always quick to respond and shipping is quick. A pleasure to deal with.

I recently purchased a printer and James was very helpful! During our phone call he helped me figure out the printer that would be the most beneficial for my company and helped me figure out what ink I would need to buy! I will definitely be a returning customer!
