Hi

Was just wondering how long is it safe to leave press switched on for i.e in between orders as i receiving frequent orders and don't want to keep switching press off.

We leave ours on all day Matthew.

Heat presses are thermo' controlled so I guess in a way, they stop drawing lots of current when they've reached temperature & just 'top-up' when they drop temperature.

also may be worth to lower the temp down to 140-150C. so its not so hot and it takes quicker to get to 185-195C if needed.

i leave ours open but not up if that makes sense, and always leave the silicone sheet on (so i know where it is lol) but agree i drop the temperature
