I have a Sunie Seiki 15x15 press. I've never had any problems with it and it's in the price range you are looking for. Just shop around and read people posts on here about equipment. It will help a lot. Also be careful of Craigslist and ebay when buying a heat press. Good Luck!

I've got the same press as Ryan. I got it from Pro World.

You can get the special offer deal or scroll to the bottom and see the price
for just the press.

Yes, it is the Sunie Seiki 15 x 15 press.
I don't know what it would cost to ship to the UK but you can call Pro World to find out. There customer service is great.

I believe that the Seiki press is in Europe..just not under the name Sunie...Or you could email the folks at www.sunie.com and ask if they can point you to a dealer in Europe. I would think the customs and shipping to UK would be pretty high...the unit weighs over 28 Kilos

Hi Ash,
If you plan to buy from the USA make sure you specify the Voltage as they are on 110 volts and we are on 220 volts.
FYI a partcel measuring 2x2x2.5 feet weighing 20 kilos was sent to me from San Jose to Malta by USPS delivery time was 10 days and the cost was 208USD.

I recommend the 16x20 size. You might need to press an A3 or 11x17 size transfers in the future. I have an auto-open HIX and a manual open MightyPress, both 16x20.

$200 seems a very fair price for the shipment.
I was quoted £118.55 for the shipment of 1 set jiffy hinges and two screens from the UK to Malta. Its cheaper for me to hop on a plane and just go there to collect than have them sent, so figure.
