Hello I am interested in purchasing a Cap Press, a mug Press, and a plate press.

I seen a few "5 in 1" Press system offering a Heat Press with a Mug, Cap, and Plate attachment with them for a low price.

(Well lower than buy each machine individually.)

are these 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 machines any good?

they look very cheap.



Do the attachment pads heat up properly?

I know someone has purchased one of these systems.

Good, Bad, or Ugly?

I have not used one yet, but I did have the supplier who I bought my press from give me a demo of theirs. It was easy to switch the platens, but I didn't like the swing style. It looked hard to control. It also had a smaller shirt platen than normal.
So, I decided I would get this in the future as a secondary machine, when I was ready to start doing caps and multi machine events. A large, stable heat press was more important for my primary machine.

The model I was looking at was from www.asc365.net
He allows you to buy the components one at a time if needed instead of the whole package. That also means replacement parts are easy to get if needed. And he does in-house repairs as well on any equipment he sells. I've never needed a heat press repair, but it's good to know.

Mine looks alot like this one but is white and the timer box before I adjusted it was about 1 1/2" lower, it's now about this high, maybe a tiny bit higher.
The shirt press is about 15 x 11 1/2"
I bought the one one ebay from uscutter and so far the only part I don't get good results from is the hat press, it just isn't the right size and the hats get scrunched. Haven't it used it much so haven't figured out how to fix that yet. Shirts print fine, mugs are OK, haven't tried plates or tiles yet so no idea there.

Mainly I bought from them because they are local and I could pick it up saving 50.00 in shipping and if I have problems I know where they are.

I did have to take the first one back the timer didn't work right and the temp kept going up, wouldn't stop when it reached the right temp. Second one works fine.

If I were to buy another I would buy one that is laid out differently, this one the timer box is too close to the heat and I know that is why the first box wouldn't work right, I mived this one up higher when I got it and have had no problems with it, but you should have to fiddle with a brand new item to get it to work right.

Fo me until I get enough business I consider it a hobby and can only invest so much, down the road if the need arises I'll buy single pieces but for now this suffices.
