What kind of printing machine?
Heat presses go for cheap on ebay but you pay for what you get. If you buy a Knight or Instagraphics, they will last and do great work. Imagine doing a 500-1000 digital job and your press starts overheating or underheating-you mess up transfers and shirts! That's the difference if you have a workhorse. You will end up trashing the cheap machine and the only thing it will be good for will be to heat press letters and numbers or ironing your shirt.

Welcome to the forums, Caeri. Since you posted on the Mimaki portion of the DTG forum, I would assume you're asking for some DTG machine prices. I think the Mimaki GP-604D runs from about 25 to 30K USD. Some other smaller DTG machine from DTG (brand), brother, etc. might have price tags lower than 20K USD. Check out some other posts, and it's also a good idea to attend some trade shows to see the printers in action.

Good luck with your search.

Here is a post where people talk about buying the cheapest dtg printer that you might want to look at - http://www.t-shirtforums.com/direct-garment-dtg-inkjet-printing/t70290.html .

You might want to look at buying a used or refurbish printer as an option to save some money. Check the classifieds section in this forum, Craig's List, eBay and other similar places to compare pricing.

Also, check out this document - www.multirip.com/dtg101.pdf. This will help provide you a good foundation to understand what you need to look for in a dtg printer to match your company's needs.

You can also check this link out for why some of the people bought the machine they did - What DTG machine do you own and how did you make your decision on it .

Good luck with your research!
