The HIX EVO TOUCH SideKick 20 Manual Twin Heat Press is a manual heat press with the advantage of twin lower platens with the proven reliablility of HIX's unique top-down linkage system.  This press provides up to 1,200 lbs of downward pressure with very little effort.  The SideKick 20 will help improve your production output by allowing non-stop continuous threading/positioning while always pressing a shirt.  The manual sliding head slides very easily and gives ample free space for precise substrate placement at an affordable price.

The SideKick brings to the table all the features of the Swingman 20 EVO Touch with a FULL Color LCD touchscreen that offers more machine control and setting options and comes with a pressure/heat resistant molded lower platen pad for improved performance across many different types of substrates.  The sliding cantilever design allows the operator to open "split" and load a shirt onto the, meaning no teflon sheet inside would be required.  This speeds up production and cuts down on accidental bleed through from the front to the back of the shirt.

The SideKick utilizes all the new features included with the EVO Series presses, including a FULL COLOR LCD touchscreen controller that offers more machine control and setting options and the improved pressure resistant molded lower platen pad for improved performance across multiple applications. This unique cantilever design allows the operator to easily open "split" and load a shirt onto the press, eliminating the need to insert a teflon sheet protector into the shirt when only one side is needing to be printed. This speeds up production and cuts down on accidental bleed through from the front to the back of the shirt.

DyecraftDirect recommends buying 2x of our fitted lower platen covers.  This allows faster sliding of shirts on and off the lower platen and protects it from wear/tear and ink accumulation/staining.

As it has always been, HIX® products are 100% designed and manufactured in the USA. These new presses are sure to meet the needs of any large or small shop.
