Mug press in your photo is for r laser transfer. I dont think it has regulated temperature gauge so i wouldn't touch it.
galaxy press can be bought from sublisupplies.

Go to any reputable supplier and you will be able to buy press for youself. At the end of the day its all about bac up in case of trouble.

I'm running four signzworld presses. They are easy to use and work just as good as any fancy priced press. £60, cheap to replace if they do fail.

I used to use a vacuum press for mugs, but they take a while to get up to temp and having to keep messing around with removing the suspended shelf would mean that the silicon hoses would tear or crack frequently. Then, one day, when a last-minute order came in just before I was heading out to the post office, I figured I'd try our halogen oven. No time to heat up as it reaches temp immediately, and the mug came out fine. That was... I dunno... seven months ago now, I think. Since then I've never used anything else and all mugs have come out perfectly. Plus I can still manage four mugs at once which, compared to the twelve I could do in the vacuum press, isn't great but I rarely need to produce more than four at a time.

It's a way to get started while you decide on a way to go, as the halogen ovens tend to come in around £20-£30.
