Default need a heat press

I am researching heat presses for my new business.
I'm pretty sure I want a 16 x 20" something.
I would like an automatic open and EASY close press.
Not sure about clam or swing.
Would love an automatic but I am scared off by the extra cost in a new business, noise form the compressor, etc.
With arm & hand injury I really need an easy close type.
ANY TIPS????
thanks,
Queen Diane (or just Diane)

Yep a stahls auto-open great machine, no need for air run press unless you are very busy.

Yes that will do it, clam is the way you want to go, you have to have a lot of room for a swing press.. the 16x 20 is great.

If you are thinking of a swing away think of the Stahls Draw press.
Same price and the bottom slides out to you. Uses less room than a swing away.
Neither have the auto pop up you want.
