Re: Budget lightweight clam press IDEAS ?

Post by logobear »

We use Adkins swing presses in shop for all day every day work and very pleased with them.
HOWEVER, - occasionally I am asked to do live printing at an event and want somthing smaller, lighter, and easier to keep safely away from the public.
I have occasionally borrowed one, but it is time to buy.

Any recommendations?
It needs to hold 160c for about a minute, and be reliable (ish) and lightweight so 1 person can carry, and it doesn't need a super reenforced table to hold it.
Ebay is full of PixMax for about £150 - any experiences?
Any other suggestions - new cheap chineese, or a second hand better one?
thanks

Not a clam press I know but I do have a Pixmax mug press from Ebay and it has been a great purchase. Bought to "test the water" but glad I never spent money on anything more.
