Cap heat press

[TQfan]

Can anyone recommend a decent cap heat press?

When first starting out I bought one of the multi presses with attachments and the cap attachment is a bit rubbish, I think the top and bottom platens are different shapes, so there is a bit of a gap and it’s causing creasing in the middle of the cap. We’ve tried to fill the gap and pull the hat at either side while pressing but it’s not quite working.

So we were hoping a dedicated cap press would be better??

Thanks.

I forget the make but I have a decent cap press and for ages mine did that too, I was convinced I had the wrong size plates.

however fiddling around one day I realised I could slide the bottom plate forwards, and that was the solution, now it presses perfectly. Might be worth checking if you can do that with yours.

thank you for the reply, I actually think the bottom plate does move �� I will certainly check it. Thanks again!

Apologies for the delay updating, after several local folk wasting my time looking at buying the business I've decided not to sell so machine no longer available.
