    Yup mine was a cheapy too from Ebay, get what you pay for at the end of the day but its doing the job it needs to for now and the way I see it is if it lasts a year then it has more than paid for itself..

    Yup, if you plan to use it just now and then or just for one specific purpose, then screw the storage life. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend better quality.

    ...errr 95mm square! :)

    Always make your templates a couple of mm larger so you can position the coaster easily, do around 97mm would be fine.

    You can press pretty much any fabric with the press mate, I mainly use cotton or a poly/cotton mix cause I mainly do vinyl but you can also use polyester for sublimation and even materials like spandex can be pressed. Hope this helps :)

    Hi All,

    I completed my first dye subli on a t-shirts today and it came out great!!

    Only question i have though is that the outline of the A4 sized paper showed on the t-shirt!

    I tried to iron it out but it was still there. Would this happen if the pressure on the heat press was high?

    Many thanks
