most any name brand press will work..15x15 or larger...the larger, the heavier but all do the same...brands are stahls, hottronix, geo knight, mightypress..many are made by same company with different brands on them. Most important what are you going to press, transfers, plastisols, inkjet, laser or ..??? I assume you have that covered?

I sgree that a name brand press is the best and the minimum size should 15x15. Now all that being said ,I suggest buying the largest name brand press you can afford. When doing jerseys, I find it easier to use a 16x20. ...... JB

im not sure what im going to use yet. i was looking at plastisols and vinyl. i want to make sure i get the right stuff so any help on picking on what to press would be great. im mostly going to be doing jerseys such as. custom logos (from 1 color to 3-4 color logos.), numbers and names. thanks...
