Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hey, traxstar here. I have narrowed my buying desision down to 2 heat presses, The Hotronix 16x20 Draw or The Hix Swingman 20D and would like some comparative feedback on these two machines.
I personally do not care for swing-out presses. In large runs, I really notice how much more physical effort it takes. I'm a fit guy, but after doing 300+ on a swinger my arm and back are shot. I prefer clamshell over anything else... like I said, just personal preference.
I Have a swinger and use it for sublimation. I have 2 clamshell's for production work. I have found that the swinger adds steps that increases production time, I know only a few secons per shirt. The time adds up on 200 shirts, nit to mention the extra movement on the muscles. ..... JB
