    I need some advice...please

    Hi,

    I'm after a bit of advice/opinions on which press is best/most reliable on the UK market,

    I need around a 40x50 heat press or bigger, preferable clamshell (but doesn't matter too much) heat press which will be a super reliable work horse. I've had a Chinese press before which is now not working properly and has left me up poo creek :(...so I now want to upgrade to a professional level machine that can handle a high volume of t.shirts being put through it on a daily basis. I don't need bell and whistles, just something I can depend on.

    Here's a few I've seen which look quite good to me...(but I don't know too much about heat press!)

    Geo Knight DK20
    Xpress XP7006A

    Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful as I need to buy one asap!

    Thanks,
    Lucy x

    The Xpres kit I've used in the past has always been good quality.

    Is it for transfers or screen printing?

    I've got a tunnel dryer up for sale - once you've used one you'll never go back to using a heat press.

    These measurements are approx as it in storage at the moment, and i'm at work - so have measured my other tunnel dryer.

    Length: 2000mm
    Width: 700mm
    Height: 1100 (+ extracter chimney - never used this though and can be taken off)
    Runs on standard electricity - not 3 phase.

    Elements are height adjustable so you can put fleeces/sweatshirts through

    In good condition - hardly used.

    Wanted £1000 cash ono

    I'm looking at the Knight press range and was wondering if the DK20S is much better than the DK20?
    The DK20S is obviously swing-away action but it also mentions the term 'industrial grade' whereas the DK20 says 'Heavy duty' does anyone know if there is a lot of difference in their build quality etc?

    Cheers,
    L

    Hello Lucy,

    I too made the same mistake as you & purchased a chinese press which let me down after 1 year of use.
    I then managed to get a great deal on a little used Adkins press. The difference was incredible!
    I seem to remember that Xpres & TMT rebadge the Adkins presses with their logo's.
    Buy one, it will not let you down!
