Anyone bought one of these or know if they are any good, seem strong and reasonably priced for what they are?

I've got one of that sellers heat presses, and though it's alright for doing tshirts etc, it's not so good for doing Image Klip transfer papers :(
The temperature just isn't 100% what it should be on it, so I've ruined a load of expensive papers :(
You also need really firm pressure for the Image Klip papers, which is really hard to achieve on that press.
But for subli and vinyls, it's fine :)

I bought mine for dye sub t shirt printing but have not tried it out yet. You reckon it's okay for tees then?
It's fine for subli work :)

Yep, agree about the results, actually quite happy with this press especially as it was much cheaper than similar models. Know what you mean about the temp however and I guess it might show its limitaions if I try to do other more complex jobs but it has got me started in dye sub tees printing which is what I wanted.
yes i also have this press, been using it for about two years now. No Problems with doing sublimation and vinyl.
However if i was in the market for a new press i would be looking at the swing away press, as i`ve scorched my knuckles a few times when laying the shirt on the platen
