Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
well, I've been viewing this forum daily since December 2005. I haven't been a big post person but do a lot of reading and viewing. Anyway I 've benn aiming to go the heat press/transfer paper route but due to no capital its been a sssslow process.
However yesterday out of the blue I had a step forward. I was able to buy 2 used Hix n840 heat presses for 300 dollars.
Checked them today to see if it worked and the heating element, pressure, and timers work on both. Only thing I gotta fix is the hydraulic to keep the top platen up.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to share in my small step toward making my own shirts.
Now if I can save up for a wide format printer, pigment ink, air compressor, and paper, I'll really start movin.
But at least the items that I thought would be hardest to buy actually was the easiest.
