Talking heat press help

Hey guys,

Looking to buy a functional heat press and have been researching ebay. Im pretty much decided on using target transfers for a plasticol transfer type so just need ma press now. What do you reckon to these i found on ebay?

HEAT PRESS MACHINE - eBay Heat Presses, Printing Graphic Arts, Business, Office Industrial (end time 02-Oct-07 17:10:44 BST)


swing away heat press / we sell optional attachments - eBay Heat Presses, Printing Graphic Arts, Business, Office Industrial (end time 01-Oct-07 08:48:43 BST)


T-SHIRT TRANSFER SUBLIMATION HEAT PRESS MRP£1050.95 - eBay Heat Presses, Printing Graphic Arts, Business, Office Industrial (end time 29-Sep-07 17:50:26 BST)

Is there anything i should be looking for/avoiding?

Also size - Which do you reckon?

P.s I will be printing onto hoodies, tshirts, hoddy hoods and possibly caps.

I'm not allowed to view ebay-links on this computer....du-no why.


In my opinion, if you deal with Traget already, have a look stahls presses.

Imprintables and others on the left menu bar sell presses too. Top notch goods with support and waran*tees.

You must be in UK or Europe..I am not familiar with these presses but they look to be chinese...and I would not touch at all...what about support, parts, etc.. look for a name brand in your area..and forget about ebay..JMO.

by the way..look at one of todays posting about help with a heat press and see what might be in store for you with a no name unit

The last one looks ok, but the thing with ebay is you have to take a certain amount of chance. It at least looks like a decent seller with good feedback, prob some backup if things go wrong and it's new.

The first one is cheaper but from his feedback i don't think he's sold anything else so he may have bought it off ebay and is now selling again.

Could not view the middle one for some reason.

I got mine off ebay and took the chance, it worked out ok and the press is fine and i'm happy with what i paid, i might even sell it on one day for more or less the same price when i get a new one!

It's still a lot cheaper than most, have you looked at targets presses?

It's up too you!
