Why would you use a steam press for pressing wrinkles out of clothing. If you do a search for this online it retails for $499.00, you can get a nice t-shirt press for that!

Regular heat presses use dry heat, not steam. You can't use a steam press in place of a heat press. The steam and humidity will keep the transfer from attaching to the shirt properly.
