38 x 38 Heat Press

[harlequeen]

I'm thinking about buying a 38 x 38 heat press. I tend to think about purchases like this for a while so I was wondering if anyone would like to give me the benefit of their experience.

I have looked on BMS and Coralgraph, and BMS are out of stock, and I wondered if the machines they were offering were basically comperable.

Iam on this same boat as you
i actualy going to visit coralgraph soon to test their 38x 38cm flat press. Clamp shel one. Thos is my choice as most of them on ebay are very massive when control box is. Coralgraph aint. This will help if garment need to be wraped under the platen if this is any sense to you lol.

I will be very interested in your thoughts when you have been Paul. BMS have not had one in stock for some time, so it might be Hobson's Choice as they say.

Ours are arriving at the end of April (container docking on April 24th).

Paul,
If your going to wrap the t shirt around the platen please test it on the coralgraph presses as I cannot do this on mine due to very, very sharp edges on the platen. It is a lovecut press though

Maybe it just needs a good filing but haven't got round to it yet.

[Paul]

Yeah. I will john. i also need some room for hoods where the control box is as i tend to prolint hoodies this way. Iam not hig fan of printing up side dow if you know what i mean.

Get a swing away, much easier.

[Paul]

Got one now buddy. And not much easier. I only have small press now.so need biger one. But no room for big swingaway one iam affraid...

Maybe a drawer press would help?

[Paul]

i looked in to them too. didnt decided yet. but cheaper option would be standard one :/
