5 mug heat press - anyone interested?

[Andrew]

when I used to look for embroiderers I couldn't find any. You lot are like buses

I'm from Swansea as well.

[Justin]

I'm looking into ordering one of these to have a play with, possibly with a twin head machine as well. Anyone any more thoughts? I've been pricing them up along with heat blankets and digital controller boxes so I could keep a few spares in!

[Andrew]

Might possibly be interested. Where it says max temp 180-200 that worries me a bit. I would assume they mean operating temp.

[Justin]

Inc. shipping they seem to be qouting around £290, heating elements are $15 each as are digital controllers.

Also been quoted for a dual head press at approx. £110+shipping.

[Andrew]

Is that for the same 5 head as shown in the link earlier in this thread? Price seems good and not the end of the world if it turns out to be crud.

Hi Justin, are these imported and if so what other costs would be involved. Also what is the delivery leadtime.
Cheers John

Hi John,

Yes, imported from China. Tax and VAt may be payable. Tax, I'm told is 2.2%. 5-15 days delivery.

I always factor in a third of the total cost when importing goods

I'm leaning towards a dual head press, can't really justify the outlay to 'test' the 5 head....but it is tempting
