Does anyone have any opinion on this machine? Is it good, decent, not worth the try?

see if corelgraph ship to malta they do with a lot of things now, its a generic press badged up by the people selling it so the same as many others, what are you planning on doing with it ? how many what size is it for a hobby or for a full time job ? answers depend on questions is it a good entry level press, probably, are there better on the market, yes, but you are in malta so i am not sure what shipping ads to it

im new to all this but i seen a lot cheaper presses on ebay - the one above is quite expensive

Its area coverage is 38x38 and its Approximately £246.72

now i go ebay and find this for example : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T-SHIRT-HEAT- ... 56462873d5

for only 129 uk pounds

I presume both do same so why the big price difference...............

Typical Chinese presses by the looks of it. As prev. mentioned, speak to Henry at Corelgraph, he'll do you a good deal if shipping is possible....and I don't see why not.

Ok, I will try contacting Corelgraph for a qoute. Shipping on the mentioned item is only €18.00 for Malta from Germany. Tought it wouln't be a cheap chinese one as it looks better quality. I don't want a bigger one till now as I am planning on getting a Ricoh gx e3300n. I work full-time but since my dad has a retail shop including a photocopy and printing bureau, I taught it would be a great addition to his shop and a lovely part-time for me. Planned on geting a mug press as well. Any suggestions please?

I contacted Henry but said that shipping of flat presses are quite expensive as they are very heavy. Thus not viable. Any other help please friends
