While it doesn’t replace the need for a PTFE non-stick cover sheet, many heat press operators find it invaluable – Direct-to-garment (DTG) and sublimation printers consider it an essential tool to protect their heat press from steam and chemical build-up.

They are very easy to clean and are essential to prolonging the life of the heat press bed.
These are available in six sizes for the lower platen:
