According to this Imprintables Warehouse will (for forum members) do free shipping on the Phoenix, and beat competitors posted prices by 5% as well as free shipping on the Mighty... it seems to be somewhat of a secret though.
Wow,
And i have my eyes on a pheonix phire. Didn't see that offer around. Have to check it out
Anyway, I suggest you go with a machine that "automatically opens" when it's finished pressing the garment.
I've been heat pressing for years and never had this happen until last month. I was printing some shirts on my DTG Machine and the telephone rang (i work from home) and i went to answer it in another room.
I forgot i had the press down and after getting off the phone i went upstairs, stopped off and chatted with my daughter a few minutes, etc. and as i started back into room where my equipment is i heard the beeping of the press. WHen i opened the press my shirt was badly burnt (it was all brown) and the entire room filled with smoke.
Again i've never done that in all my years of pressing but i found that a quick distraction could happen and you forget you are pressing. We are in the market for a new press so I have my eyes on the pheonix phire because of the auto release feature. It's cheaper than buying a "automatic press" and compressor.
