Hi,
I am trying to switch to heat pressed shirts, from screen printed. I need to get a heat press, that will give me results worthy of being sold, but I have a very limited budget. I wanted to know if anyone has information or opinions on these alternative heat presses.
First, there is an eBay selling these homemade e-z press's, for transfers. In his feedback, all the people who purchased these are happy with them it seems. It is built from the plans of an ebook.

This next one might just be a dumb idea, but I saw it for sale on ebay advertised as a t-shirt heat press, so if anyone has tried this, or anyone thinks it would do the job, I would really appreciate any input.

Am I just messing myself up by not investing the extra $200-300 in a manufactured heat press? I'm just trying to get started as soon as possible, because I have a small budget, and my screen printer who was giving me a great deal just flaked out.
I'm trying to get all the equipment to get the whole heat press going, and any input is very much appreciated!
