Hello everyone, My name is Javier and this is my 1st post. I wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good heat press, i will mostly be pressing large 3x, 4x shirts, I was thinking it should be at least 16x 20.

Does any one what the top brands are? What are good websites to buy/help?

What is the best heat transfer material to use? Thermoflex? Spectra?, I want to use the best materials that will last longest on t- shirts

What type of shirts are recommended? They must be heavyweight and 100% cotton, or is there somthing better?
Finally what other materials can you recommend so I can get started? This is all new to me I come from the world of airbrushing and don't know what to buy, thank you in advance for any imput

F.Y.I the only thing i already have is a 24 inch vinyl cutter for the heat press material,
