I would love this press, but $4000 dollars is a lot.
Wow, $4k, all I can imagine is a twin auto press... what is this thing?

If I was on a budget, I think I would buy a Sunie 15z15,but being new and reading all the post(like you gid Kelly)< I would have opted for the mighty press too. The real answer is buy the best you can afford and make some money. .... JB
Yeah, I still don't know if I'd buy a Sunie, luckily for now, I don't have to deal with it... we'll see if I move to adult sizes like Sunny did, then I"ll be on the block to decide.
That'd be a tough call for me, bc alot of folks are having luck with the Sunie's, and I may have a cool spot on my MP. Not sure. Teflon clears it up, so I just make sure I press with teflon, and there are no issues. Anyway, all good advice, will you hook me up with a link to this new beauty of a press at $4k?

I myself started out only doing baby and toddler wear, and started with 2 hix hobby presses 9 x 12. They worked perfect for what I was using them for and I had no limitations at all, because a bigger size was not needed.
Hey Sunny!!!

Well, I did mention something like that here and there, but not so directly, so good thing you did. I said like: depends on use, depends on largest size design coming out of the printer, and that I work in youth and the 11x15 size platen is perfect for me in everyway.
I was going to go with the hobby lite, and I am still glad to have the 11x15 size platen bc with just that little extra room, I can gang a few of the little things on there at the same time. Sometimes there's not much room left over.
I can see the 15x15 really helping me out there, but really, if I had the 16x20, I'd be pressing 4 items at a time, compared to the 2 items at a time now. It would really cut back on my production time (when I am working!)
All worth reiterating... so hopefully the OP can see, they really have to decide for themselves - as the 9x12 can work perfectly fine, I said this earlier, too, and still agree with Sunny and David on this, and yet I can see the advantages of the larger size press, as well.
So don't ask me bc maybe I would own a press in every size if I could afford it! Haha, that's not true, I only own the biggest baddest mama out there, so I could gang my work on there and press *less* and get *more* done!
