Default Re: Dry Mount heat press?
I worked at art galleries & custom framing shops for about 10 years..."Dry Mounting" heat presses are for mounting photographs or posters to rigid substrates like foamcore...they don't get hot enough for t-shirt transfers (most only go to 300 or 350 degrees), and they only open about 5 or 6 inches high, and it is a major undertaking to adjust the pressure...so they would be highly impractical for doing t-shirts...

It basically just melts a wax backing for photo mounting as mentioned.
