Hello guys, Im about to get started in heat press t shirt printing. Im looking for a heat press that is affordable, durable, and that I can possibly eventually resell. Im wondering what presses you guys and gals own, and which presses should be avoided. Just visually looking at some presses and reading other posts in this awesome forum, Im still not sold on any entry level press I've seen.
I did notice that the least expensive HIX press has a uncomfortably small pressing area, along with a cheap looking clamp handle, but it costs around $300.
Same with the two lower end jetpress hobby presses which have that same little weak looking pressure clamp. Though I like the 12" 14" Clamshell, and it has a timer, along with a decent price at around $420-460.
The one that looks pretty durable and well made that Im leaning towards is
the Mighty Press Lite 11" "14. Nothing fancy about it, but it looks like it would last awhile just the way its built. Price is good too at $375.
If anybody has any comments to make about any of these presses, or another press that you own, please do so. Id like to get a few opinions from people that have already had experience with some of these presses, or any other entry level models.
I really dont want to invest more than $500 including shipping in a press that I will most likely not churn out 1000 shirts a month with.
Aloha!
