Microtec Introduces XPDS-15M & XPDS-20M Manual Dual Station Heat Presses — Precision in a Compact Form

Microtec proudly presents the XPDS-20M Manual Dual Station Heat Press, the manual version of the XPDS-20B Dual Station model.
Designed for professionals who require the same dual-station productivity and industrial precision as the XPDS-20B, the XPDS-20M replaces automation with manual operation, offering a lightweight, workstation-free, and more affordable solution for flexible production environments.

Both the XPDS-20B and XPDS-20M come in two platen sizes — 38×38 cm (15×15″) and 40×50 cm (16×20″) — making them ideal for a variety of garment sizes, from small apparel to larger custom prints.


Why Microtec Developed the XPDS-20M

In today’s diverse printing industry, not every operation requires a fully automatic press.
Many studios, sample workshops, and boutique production lines prefer manual systems for their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and portability — without sacrificing output quality.

The XPDS-20M was developed to meet these needs.
It maintains the same robust frame, dual-station layout, and precision heating system as the XPDS-20B, but in a manual configuration that delivers:

  • Full operator control over pressure and timing

  • Reduced footprint and weight

  • Lower investment cost with professional performance


Key Features and Advantages

1. Manual Control with Professional Precision

Operators can manually control pressure and dwell time, ensuring careful handling of various materials — from lightweight garments to thicker fabrics and patches.
This makes the XPDS-20M ideal for custom, short-run, and detail-oriented production.

2. Dual Quick-Change Lower Platens

Like the XPDS-20B, this manual version features dual quick-change platens that enable continuous workflow — one side presses while the other is prepared.
This system ensures seamless productivity even in a manual setup.

3. Two Platen Sizes for Maximum Versatility

Available in 38×38 cm and 40×50 cm, the XPDS-20M supports a broad range of transfer sizes, accommodating both small items and larger prints.
Users can choose the configuration that best suits their production needs.

4. Workstation-Free Compact Design

The XPDS-20M and XPDS-20B both feature a table-top, workstation-free structure, saving valuable floor space.
This compact layout makes them ideal for mobile setups, tight studios, or sample departments where flexibility matters.

5. Industrial-Grade Build Quality

Engineered with Microtec’s precision heating technology and durable steel framework, the XPDS-20M ensures uniform temperature and pressure across the platen, maintaining consistent results over long-term use.

6. Cost-Effective, Reliable Operation

The XPDS-20M delivers Microtec’s renowned quality at a more accessible price point, making it a perfect choice for startups, small garment brands, and studios upgrading from single-station presses.


Ideal Applications

The XPDS-20M is ideal for:

  • Custom T-shirt printing

  • Fashion samples and prototype production

  • Small-batch garment customization

  • Promotional and personalized items

Whether for small studios or on-demand production, the XPDS-20M gives creators the control and consistency needed to achieve professional results every time.


Continuing the XPDS Legacy

With the addition of the XPDS-20M, Microtec further strengthens its XPDS lineup — from fully automatic models (XPDS-15B / XPDS-20B) to manual configurations (XPDS-15M / XPDS-20M) — covering every production requirement from mass manufacturing to flexible creative workspaces.


Conclusion

Compact, efficient, and precise — the Microtec XPDS-20M Manual Dual Station Heat Press brings professional-grade heat transfer technology to a wider audience.
Its dual-station design, manual control, and workstation-free layout make it the perfect solution for those who value quality, flexibility, and space efficiency.
