Has anyone used a microtec MAG-40 60x100cm heat press from Signzworld? Are they any good? We need a larger press but our access is too narrow for all the other large format presses I’ve looked into. It would mainly be used for fabrics.

Re: Microtec MAG-40
we got an omega600 into our house through a standard door 75cm door frame , we just unwired and removed the platens to do so, and put it back together afterwards - the omega750 is similar size frame so that would also work same way - the problem part is the weight of around 200kg (though removing the platens lowers this) - but there are ways around narrow access, personally not a fan of stuff from signzworld especially if something goes wrong.
Re: Microtec MAG-40
That’s really helpful, thanks! I actually have a omega750 in a storage unit that I was going to sell but if I can take it apart then that’s a game changer [emoji1]. Weight is another problem though, as you say.whitprints;154956 wrote:we got an omega600 into our house through a standard door 75cm door frame , we just unwired and removed the platens to do so, and put it back together afterwards - the omega750 is similar size frame so that would also work same way - the problem part is the weight of around 200kg (though removing the platens lowers this) - but there are ways around narrow access, personally not a fan of stuff from signzworld especially if something goes wrong.

Re: Microtec MAG-40
think its only about 6 wires inside to undo - just take photos of it all as you do it, the platen is just the 6 big bolts on top that are spring loaded. The bottom bed comes off easily - then your literally just doing the C shaped part of the machine which will easily fit through most narrow spaces.

You say that like I’ll be doing it myself [emoji38][emoji1787]. I’ll pass your info to someone competent though. Thanks again.whitprints;154959 wrote:think its only about 6 wires inside to undo - just take photos of it all as you do it, the platen is just the 6 big bolts on top that are spring loaded.
