Heat transfer press for heat setting paint/ink?

Anyone have experience with using a heat transfer press for setting screen printing and airbrushing?
In my short experience that seems to be the way to go, cause ironing the shirt sure does not work:mad: ...many wasted shirts, don't recommend it.

So...which press do I get?...naturally THE BEST, MOST EXPENSIVE ONE. But, where do I buy it?

Screenprinting yes, airbrushing no (no experience that is, not "no, it won't work"). Works for waterbased screenprinting inks.

Doesn't work at all, or isn't consistent? If it's not working at all for you I'd be worried about using a heat press. If you just mean it's not consistent, a pain for the user, etc. that's a different matter.

Yup, lots of info on the forums for this.

Imprintables Warehouse

(they are not the only reputable store, but they're the only one who post useful information on these forums; the other forum sponsors (such as Coastal and Best Blanks) should also do you right if you decide to go with them)
Yes you want a press to set airbrush paints. The paint guys will sell you that you dont have to but it always helps. Really is just a good quick dry for everything. I use the createx colors.
