Default Which heat press

I have a Roland GX-24 cutter and was thinking that I might as well use it for t-shirts also. So my question is....what heat press would be best for me if I wanted to stay on a small budget and I wasn't planning on using it all that much?

Good and $230 don't mix. Depending on the size you need, a good, used press will cost you $400+ and a good new one $700+.

Not sure if you'll find one that cheap, but look for a used Hix or any of the Stahls line (Hotronix, Phoenix, Mighty, etc...).

Your only option near that price point are the Suni presses on ebay. There are several threads about them.

It also depends upon your expectations and needs. As any good Tennessee farmer knows, nice clean oats for their horses require a fair price.

Oats that have been run through the horse first, are quite a bit cheaper.
