Hello,

I want advice as to which heat press is better in keeping the real temperature indicated. Some Chinese presses say one temperature but when you check with a digital device, the platen temperature can be as much as 50 degrees off. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Yiries. There are many presses that fit into your request. What is your budget and what size heat press do you want?

Hello,

I am looking for a good press that shows the true temperature and is reliable. Size should be 16" x 24", and good quality!

Thank you!

I think you will find that 16x20 is most popular. I am not familiar with any manufacturer that produces a 16x24. Maybe someone else on the Forum knows of a press that size.

Ok, 16" x 20" ! But which is the best for what I am asking?

Thanks!

We use Geo knight presses and they have a setting for temperature drop. All presses are going to drop a couple degree and then power the heating element till it reaches the temp and then stop and continue the cycle. I believe you can set the Geo knight at 1 degree which should keep it at a constant exact temp.

Keep in mind though...as long as it is cycling on and off with a few degree drop. You should have no issues doing any printing/decorating process.

I like the DK20s and DK20a both are a 16x20 press one is a swing away and the other is a auto open clam shell press. Hotronix is also a good brand as is Hix.
