Clam press efficiency.
Alien Press attitude.

The AP2 keeps the workflow direct: load the garment, set the pressure, time, and temperature on the LED control screen, close the press, and let the automatic release handle the end of the cycle.

Its 16 × 20 platen gives apparel decorators a full-size work surface, while the magnetic slide-out lower platen creates easier access for loading and positioning. Additional platens are available separately when your production needs call for a different platen setup.
