I know Dowling Graphics has a 23 X 36. But for 1 design! How big is your heat press?

The standard sizes for most presses ends up at 20" long. There are other heat presses that are larger, but the cost goes up very quickly. Look at the Maxi Press or Tritan from Goe Knight. iDek I also think just released a larger press as well.

Default Re: transfer size

Its not that my desgins are big but some are long because they run down the shirt, so i be limitiing myself to make them only 19 inch, just so i have some play room. i was just trying to find another shop that has large transfer like fm expression because some of my designs i dont want to get from them i want them to be dull color and ther stuff usually is shiny.

Not even close, though it's about the maximum for most home-based businesses.

But if your press is 20 inches, what's the point of having transfers made larger than that?

Mark, Does Hix or Stahls have any jumbo size model competing with the MAXI PRESS? Something like a 30" x 40" size?

Not sure about Hix... but there is a rumor that Hotronix is coming out with a larger press... I am just not sure how much larger. The largest one that I know is a 22" x 22" swing away. The other rumor is that some of the asian based press manufacturers are coming out with larger presses as well.
