As I was reading the latest issue of Printwear online, I saw a section on heat presses and noticed one I do not hear much about.

It's called the Printa Digital SwingAway Heat Press and is sold as part of a dye-sublimation package.

Printa is also releasing a new tunnel-style press called the 550 Tunnel, also pictured.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone use a Printa heat press here for all of your pressing needs and what feedback can you give on it?

I have never used this press, but i will say it looks like a quality machine.It looks real beefy and tuff. ....... JB

Hi JB! They do appear solid.

However, the Tunnel model is terribly lightweight at under 60 lbs! I like this design though...

If I was going to buy a tunnel style heat press , I would go with the Hotronix. They came up with the idea and put out the first one on the market. I really like the old fashioned non digital type press. I have had issues with my hotronix digital, but still would go with them for the tunnel style. If I was buying a new press today, i would buy a Hix product. they have solid machines and a great service department. i have called them a few different times and they have never failed to answer my question on the spot or call me back the same day. I preach about service after the sale and not buying cheap equipment. I really appreciate a company that services what they sale quickley and hoinestly. ....... JB

I actually have the swing away, it's alright but I wouldn't use it all the time. We use it strictly for sublimation and have a Stahl's hotronix for our t-shirts... it is a lot better machine.
