Recommend me an automatic heat press

I do dye sublimation and need to upgrade to an automatic press to keep up with production. Can you recommend me some affordable but efficient presses that will keep my crew from tiring out?

We do mostly phone cases but will expand to t-shirts soon.

I have a stahls hotronix auto clam shell 16x20 that im thinking about selling. Let me know if you're interested.

The most popular brands are Hotronix, Hix, and Geo Knight. You can't go wrong with any of them but be prepared to spend $2000+ for an automatic.
This was actually what I'm looking for. How much you offering?
Practix offers some viable options to address all your needs. They are a little more than the ones mentioned but built to last.
How reliable are ones from Alibaba? My current one is chinese and has been reliable for the past year or so
Buy a stahls hot fusion. It's about 3500€ here in Germany. But it's a great press! Especially for sublimation ...go with stahls pneumatic presses
I've seen Geoknight 394ts presses go used for $1500. Well worth the investment. They're fast AND very reliable and easy. Just make sure you have a fatigue mat where you stand, because you'll feel your feet ache since your sore arm won't be distracting you.

Where can I get a fatigue mat?

I got mine at Mcmaster, but that's because I have an account for my industrial business. You can get them anywhere and probably even walmart. It's just a spongy mat that goes on the floor that you can stand on to relive the effect hard floors have on your ankles and knees.
