looking for a budget cap press to fix flock & vinyl to caps.
I saw this in the price range I currently have and wondered if it would beok for the job ?
It says sublimation but if ive read correctly am i correct in thinking it will also do Vinyl & Flock decal ?

A heat press in theory can be used for any heat transfer method, sublimation, vinyl, laser heat transfers, flock etc etc.

Those that say "XXXX press for sublimation" in my opinion just do not know that much about the heat press methods available.


In answer to your specific question, it looks okay, but not having purchased from this company before I would not take my word for it :smile:

its not a long trip from wolverhampton to derby where they are based, i have a very similar cap press (though not in that subtle yellow :rolleyes:) so i would say have a trip up to them, might be the start of a good relationship given the other products they sell
