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.
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.
As i see that people are very much interested in DTG Printers and digital screen printing machinealso, Kornit Paradigm is something that gives a proper advantage and ability to add more features in the traditional print screen and more to that it will becomes a printing screen.

You can go to Equipment Zone or All American website and see what spider is talking about on the deals of the new Epson F2000. Now is definitely the time to buy. Also All American is selling all DuPont ink, including white ink at a very low $150 per liter. Why pay more anywhere else?
Currently Epson is offering a $2000 rebate, if you finance or lease a $1000 toward your account paid to financial institution, plus a free set of 600 ml inks valued at over $1300, the NeoFlex is at 13,000 now in response to overall decrease in pricing of DTGs.
The new give backs and rebates from Epson make it a great choice. If eligible for all they total over $4000
