Default Heat Press Question?

Hi, I am new to this site and heat pressing shirts. I am looking to buy a heat press machine, but since I am new to all of this I am not looking to be spending top dollar just yet. I guess my question is is that when looking for one online, I came across a quick press iron machine that they use in cleaners. Would this work If?

Post a link let us take a look.

Generally, you want a heat press that has a heating area of at least 15 X 15 inches and can reach temps of 400 degrees.

I agree truly a 15x15 or larger is best for the ability to align larger garments on the press. ..... JB

Default Re: Heat Press Question?

the machine you refer to will not work...you need a press that has variable heat temps, variable pressure and of course the last is time...which is not an issue...save your $$..buy a good used name brand..but stay away from ebay chinese presses...I do have a chinese press but I bought it from a store that I can travel to if need be...just don't pay $$ and no way to get parts/service
