Re: quick advise for a heat press

Post by grantsmith82 »

i am looking for a heat press. the main objective is to print soccer name and numbers.
would a 38x38 be big enough or do i need to go bigger?


i was looking at a swing design rather than clamp. i wasnt looking to spend masses. do you think something around the £150-200 mark would suffice?
as an example

It is hard for anyone to 'recommend' anything that cheap. It will work, and it will get you in the business. Some cheap presses last for years and others last for 5 mins.

Only buy cheap if you can afford to buy another at short notice (if it goes wrong) or you are confident that the supplier will offer good after sales support.

For that budget, scour Ebay for used PressMech or Adkins machines - often they go for silly cheap prices - you'd be better served by a pro level machine that is used and maybe a bit old, than something shiny new that is terrible quality.
