Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have purchased several different heat press machines in the "under $500" category. This by far has the evenest temperatures across the top plate, tested with a laser. The silicone on the bed has nice rounded corners that shirts do not get stuck on, yes this really is a thing when you are doing high volume! In the last 3 months, this shirt has pressed a successful 2500+ shirts without issue. One problem we had was getting the pressure right as the user only has a knob to turn and no real good way to set "60psi". Our learning curve and solution: #1 Discovering that the handle will "pop" into place, and keep the pressure on the shirt. If you are having to hold it down, you are doing it wrong. Adjust the knob on the top back. #2 Adjust it to the "hardest" point for the operator to press the handle down so that it clicks into place. This is maximum pressure, and is good! #3 When releasing it, be QUICK! It will pop up a lot better for a "quick yank" than grabbing it and trying to lift. The swiftness will help the handle pop up and release the shirt out of the press. What we discovered WE needed to operate at high volumes. (This is OUR setup based on shirts and transfers we use.) #1 The press, adjusted for max pressure. #2 Teflon sheets, only if doing transfer to both sides of the shirt. (use the sheet between the shirt and the silicone bed, so your first print doesn't stick. Don't forget to let the 1st transfer fully cool before doing the 2nd.) #3 Plenty of power, when you get 3 of these on the same 15A circuit, it will blow! lol #4 Sturdy table and room to work. We work with 2x 8ft tables. Table #1 Shirt press(s) with a stack of shirts and transfers for easy access. Table #2 directly behind the operator(s) for cooling, folding and boxing.
