Claim 10:
11. A heat press device, comprising:
a support structure;
a lower platen coupled with the support structure, the lower platen being configured to support a workpiece and a transfer material;
a heating element assembly moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration relative to the lower platen;
a mechanism to provide relative motion between the lower platen and the heating element assembly to enable the heat press device to be in an open configuration to provide access for the workpiece and the transfer material and in a closed configuration to apply a pressure to the workpiece and the transfer material;
an indicator configured to convey the pressure state between the lower platen and the heating element assembly when the heat press device is in the closed configuration; and
a movement assembly configured to change a pressure state between the lower platen and the heating element assembly when the heat press device is in the closed configuration,
wherein the indicator provides an output field indicating the pressure state and wherein the output field is configured to identify a type of workpiece or transfer material appropriate for processing when the heat press device is in the closed configuration.
