Anyone ever used a draw heat press?

[DREAMGLASS]

OK, first off I admit I don't particularly like clam presses, mainly because I like the skin on the back of my knuckles. I use swingaway presses as I can align the items well away from the heat.

Looking on eBay yesterday, I came across a type of flat press I hadn't seen before. A clam press with a slide out lower platen that allows you to align your item, slide the draw (and item) back in and press. Whilst that particular item is being sold by Lovecut (yep I know), I wondered if anyone else had come across that type of arrangement before. It offers some of the space saving of a clam press (no 'arc' to keep clear) whilst having some of the safety of the swingaway's isolation from the heat plate.

Anyone ever seen these in use before? I'd personally have concerns about things like draped tees getting misaligned as the draw was slid back in. I must admit that in principle, I do like the overall concept though.

Not seen one of those before, but I like the concept. As you say, fed up burning my knuckles aligning the paper on the tee

If anyone else had it, I'd consider it, but not from lovecut

The only shame is that Lovecut are the sellers - I've read some real horror stories about this trader. In fact, I don't recall reading anything good about them!

I see Stahls have started making a press that swings open and has the drawer as well (Mega money though) Good idea in theory, never used one myself but anything to save space!

Seen a few cheaper drawer presses on Chinese sites, certainly worth a look.

I presume this is the reverse of the ones where the heat platen itself is on a track. I got one the other day, was found in a neighboroughing shop and the owners asked me if I wanted it because it looked like a printing machine

amazingly I plugged it in and it works. The machine was made by Rocket Transfers of Manchester so I have no idea how old it is because I can't find anything about them on the internet.

maybe it is the machine you see

Was just being curious, nothing in particular sprang to mind.

What's your ebay ID, if you don't mind me asking

Why don't you have prices on your website?

If I'm looking for a product and I find a website without any prices, I move on and find another supplier that does have prices on their website.

I don't generally spend time emailing to find out what the prices are. The day isn't long enough.
