Default The Caps hat press..

Does anyone use the Caps hat press to print t-shirts? I am in the process of converting my hat press to a shirt press and could use some tips. Thanks.

That's what I'm working on now. Do you own a CAPS press? I'll let you know when I get it completed.

I've used the CAPS hat press many times and don't see it working to well to print shirts.

Do yourself a favor and get a T-shirt press before trying to jam a phillips head into a flat head slot.

I have converted my hats press to a shirt press and will do some test prints next week. It was a lot easier than I thought. I will let you know how it turns out.

I did my first print on the hat press converted to a shirt press and it worked great. All for less than $25.00. I also used my heat press to cure the shirts and It works great also. A little more time but a lot cheaper than an oven. Have a Merry Christmas.
