Looking for a small heat press, probably 9" x 12, 12" x 12" etc. to run alongside my larger press.

Need to be able to press the acrylic blocks etc. so 20mm gap with lock down is essential.

If you have anything suitable and want to sell please let me know :-)

Hi Justin,

After much searching around myself, as you might remember from a previous thread, http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/sh ... en-plaques with the help of Martin from BMS I am just about to purchase this one http://www.printerowners.co.uk/hardware ... -press.htm . To quote Martin "It would press material about 6" thick as the press opens along way!". Not sure about the lock down, is there a reason that`s essential?

Regards
Si

Needs to lock down to get constant pressure across the blank over a 7 or 9 minute press time.

WDR, this is one of the presses I want but they're all through the Chinese distributors and I'd sooner avoid if possible, may have to bite the bullet though.
