Hi, I am new to Sublimation and the forum has already been of benefit to me (Thanks Artygamer).

I have a couple of new projects starting in the new year which require an A3 size print so I need to make some purchases to be able to get going with this. My 1st project is for sublimation Polo/T-shirts with print on the front and back.

I have done a fair bit of research and arrived at a few possibilities in terms of equipment. I will purchase an A3 Printer (Likely to be Ricoh SG7100DN). I will of course need a heat press and I have spoken to several suppliers and a have a few offers (some better than others!). The Pressmech and Adkins swing away options seem to be the direction I will go but I would welcome any suggestions from the more knowledgeable people who frequent this forum.

I may in future have a need to press items that are thicker than polo/t-shirts so I will consider this when I purchase the new press.

Hi Kermit and welcome to the forum!

I have both of those presses you mention. if you're looking at thicker items, acrylics etc. then the Pressmech is the way to go, cracking machine :-) You may struggle with the Adkins on items over 15mm without a lower platen on the bottom, nevertheless a great machine also.

Anyway, that's enough chat in the intro's section, go make some posts! :-)
