With the wide variety of heat press machines on the market, determining the precise pressure needed for your project can often be challenging. Some machines feature a digital display that allows for easy pressure adjustments, while others may only provide a manual crank. However, most suppliers recommend using light, medium, or firm pressure for a successful transfer. Understanding how to gauge these pressure levels can significantly impact your results.

Understanding Pressure Levels
Light pressure typically corresponds to pressures between 25-30 psi when using an automatic heat press. If you are operating a manual press, applying light pressure means you should be able to close the upper platen easily with just one hand.
Medium pressure is generally within the range of 32-38 psi for automatic heat presses. In a manual setup, this translates to the upper platen requiring some effort to close — you would usually need to use both hands and exert moderate force to achieve this pressure.
Firm pressure is defined as 40 psi or higher on automatic machines. For manual presses, closing the upper platen under firm pressure will feel strenuous, requiring considerable effort and possibly using both hands with a strong force.
