I know that teflon cookingware (pots and pans) is not safe because it release teflon fume when reached to a very high temp. Is it unsafe to use teflon coated heat press also?

I guess that depends on what you mean by hazardous, as is can you get sick, or is there any fume whatsoever. It's a little subjective that way, I think, to some degree.

If you use a press in a ventilated room, or a decent size room with the door open (not an outside door, just to a hallway, etc.).. the fumes are not bad in anyway. I think there is more fume that comes off the product being heat pressed than the heat press itself.

Point in case, my husband *just* used a sharpie marker that filled the room with a smell, whereas my press doesn't smell like that, if at all. Like I said, the heat transfer papers do have a smell when they are pressed, but not really the press that I can tell, except for maybe the rubber mat on the lower platen that has a strange odor when it is new, but not anymore (1+ yr). Does that help?

i'm sure there's more poisionus fumes, from cars on any street at anytime than from a teflon sheet of a heat press.

How about the actual fumes off the tee itself once youve laid down your print?

Surely this cant be good for us who are pressing our tees ourself.

We have our press beside the window but still im thinking some sort of a mask wouldnt be a bad idea!

Anyone got any info on this kind of issue? In terms of fumes from both Teflon and Inks/tees themselves once they're pressed?
