Hi.

these will be interesting one, so people can see how it looks on cheap NO BRAND heat press

Heat press: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-DIGITAL-S ... 2a24acf592
Measurements: Corners: 197/196/200/201. Center:199. So 20 over what's set on the clock.
Variance: ONLY 4... but 20 out of what clock says.

you wont gvet an accurate measurement with the press OPEN the air temperatre and any movement will effect the reading, get a probe thermometer and measure iwth the press closed.

What's the point of infrared thermometer than sorry?

they are no good with reflective materials like flat heat press elements and the ONLY way to accurately measure a heat press is when its CLOSED , infra red thermometers are not supposed to be used for measuring heat presses at all to be fair. I use a probe style its way more accurate

There's quite a wide range of prices on ebay for the temp gauge. Yet they all look similar. Can anyone recommend? How do you know whether they are accurate or not?

LOL - I've just noticed the dates on this thread!
What was the eventual outcome of the tests? Did people use an infrared gauge or a probe?
