Pressing Times.

[Earl Smith]

The Aadkins press is not so sophisticated, It only beeps when the time is up and not when required temp is reached. It also doesnt have a handle to handle heat blanket. Max I can print is 175mm wide.
What press do you use? Maybe I should get one.
As for the water bucket. I used to do that but about two years ago I had some "help" from my wife. I have a dry area and a wet area and she dumped all my prints for about 150 mugs onto the wet area. So from that point on Ive not used the bucket. (or my wives help).

I must admit, I am really surprised that an Adkins can only print to 175mm. It might be a good idea to start a topic specifically about this point as I would have thought you could get a larger print area from what are considered one of the best heat press manufacturers around.

I use "five at a time" presses from heatpressUK.

If you want a single unit I do have a DF1 here that I have been really impressed with. Good build quality etc etc. and would recommend.

Beeping when it gets to temperature is really annoying. I would much rather put them in and only need to return to the machine when the are finished. I am currently in the middle of a run of 1008 mugs. Becuase I have to get up twice per run it really interupts my online backgammon games
