Default Cap press

I'm in the market to get a cap press for my shop. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should get one and for the best price? I know I should get a name brand press, but the price makes me want to try one one of the chinese presses. Has anyone used one of the chinese cap presses and is it worth getting? I would even consider a used- name brand press! thanks!

There are a couple of name-brand ones on Ebay right now. I kept watching Ebay and finally got a slightly used $765 one for $250. Works great.

I actually got mine off ebay as well for around $120.00. It was an older model but it was a name brand model and it works great. I have a friend that has a Chinese brand that he paid $99.00 for and I printed a cap on mine and a cap on his and basically no difference. He has had it now for about a year and it is still going. The thing with the Chinese made machines are that if you need parts you may not be able to get replacements.

One advantage with some of the name brands is they have extra platens available for different style caps. I have found that makes some jobs easier.
