Default About to order a heat press...

Are there any discounts from the vendors listed I may be entitled to by being a member of this forum? I was hoping for maybe a free shipping type deal since this things seem to weigh a ton!

any suggestions?

I know most vendors will give a forum discount. I'm not sure how much though. ...... JB

When I bought mine at Coastal Business I got a 5% discount as a forum member, last year.

I don't know if this is against the rules -- but I just bought 4 heat presses to start a business, and it appears I only need 3... I'll be happy to give you a deal one it - pm me.

Would you recommend buying a digital heat press, or will the Mighty Press 15x15 do the job?

I'm stuck betweeen the two, either the digital or the non-digital 15x15. Just wasn't sure if it is worth the extra money (like $200) for the digital one.

thoughts?

I have a non-digital (analog) style & it does the job just fine. Digital would be nice though.

I like the non digital press myself. I'm old fashioned, but why something extra to go out. I have 2 digital press' and have had issues with them that were related to digital. I use a Hix 15x15 and love it. I will never buy a digital again, until I find a good one. .... JB

How accurate is the temperature on the mighty press without the digital readout? I have never used a press before so I was worried about getting good results with the original mighty press.

thoughts?

The heating element is the same, there should be no difference. ..... JB

Default Re: About to order a heat press...

So I should save the money and go with the 15x15 mighty press?

Are there any other differences between the digital and the regular that may make me change my mind?
