While working on a new video for my series of videos that I have on YOUTUBE I was doing one called heat press temperatures and checking my own using a laser temperature unit that I bought from harbor freight. This unit is a simple device that has a laser light that you point at the spot you want to check. I set my temp at 350 degrees and waited till it stabilized and then I checked 9 spots going top 3 , middle 3 and bottom 3 which is actually the upper portion of a shirt. I found on my Mighty Press which is 2 years old that I had a heat difference from top to bottom as well as a drop of temperature of -5 degrees in the center of my platen. The surrounding temperatures were the top 3 were within 1 degree, the middle 3 were down 3 except for center which was -5 and then the bottom 3 were up 3 degrees. (353). So that said If I had a heat press that was 1. older, 2 bought used, 3 bought off ebay for low price 4, having problems with transfers sticking then I would invest in one of theses units. For 24.95 it was worth the price. I did not check to see if Harbor freight had a website as I bought mine from one of their local stores. I will be placing the video up soon after some editing. Lou
