Default Places to get a Heat Press in the UK

Hi. I'm loking to buy a heat press here in the U.k.
I was wondering, if I stick with the main brands, Hix, Geo Knight, Stahl, etc, is it safe to buy second hand or should I stick to buying new?

If I buy new. Can anyone recommend a a reputable supplier in the uk/europe?

Another Question. Is Digital Knight the same as Geo Knight?

Cheers guys

Hi Stevo, check this post, it should help you out some (has a link to a UK dealer and some tips on what to look for in a heat press): UK Heat Press

Hopefully, if more members have sources in the UK, they'll post it as well.

Yep, they are one in the same. You may also be able to contact the company directly to see if they have a dealer in your area.

Definitely stick with the main brands

Hi Stevo,

I have encountered several companies selling presses in the UK, Xpress, The Magic Touch, Target Transfers. Im sensing as your post was in February you may well have found a press anyway. Target do a 16"x 20" for about 795.00. Good luck with your business.

cheers spud. I ended up with a press from germany called a secabo & Im really happy with it. Heat presses were easier to find than I thought, but quality inkjet transfer papers arent!!
