Default Heat Press with or without Teflon Sheet

Hello,

I'm currently doing research on heat presses and I see that some plates are teflon coated and others aren't so you need a separate teflon sheet (these presses seem like they are less expensive). They have a bunch of heat presses on ebay but most don't have teflon sheets. I actually saw an ad with the teflon sheet taped to the outside of the press to keep it on place.

I plan on printing a lot of shirts and want to know if buying a heat press that's not teflon coated is a good idea. I will use the plastisol transfer sheets as well. Do you have to use a new teflon after so many printings as well? Also, is it a good idea to buy a heat press off of ebay?

Thank You

You can buy a cover made off teflon to protect the platen of your investment.
That is what I did when I bought my swingman 15.
Also it a good idea have extra teflon sheets to protect the upper platen.
