My only preference over the PressMechs are our rotary presses!

I guess it comes down to the type of work being done, the work environment and, ultimately, personal experience.

I took the press (2 in fact) they got hammered 7 days a week and been a fan ever since. When we had to buy our own we always chose Jarin.. BTW I take It you're the same Badgers I frequented in Manchester...

Yes, we’re the same Badgers that were based in Manchester many moons ago.

I don't believe that anyone was directly stating that the quality of the Jarin press was inferior, merely that swing presses are more usable than clam presses in general. That is an opinion that is widely held within the industry. You are the only person in this thread that has questioned the quality of a specific brand.

As Jarin is a niche brand, I maintain that is is highly unlikely that every football club bought one through considered choice. It is more likely that it was bought because it is the brand their suppliers sell. That doesn't infer that Jarin are no good, but neither does it imply that they are better because they are used in the Premier League. Maybe that is a sales pitch that works well when selling into the 'Kiss Me Quick' seaside retailers ( I was in that trede myself in the early 1990's), but you could probably find a better USP when selling to the wider industry.

Pat, once again, there are several points that I disagree with you on, but instead of constantly going back and forth each day I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree...

Your comment about “kiss me quick” hats did make me laugh though - I don’t think I’ve seen them since the early 90’s, although as I don't frequent seaside retailers, with the exception of our own retail premises occasionally, they may still be around!!

Usage is a good point - we don't do t-shirts, but use the PressMechs mainly for hard substrates of varying thicknesses for glass coasters, slates, passport covers, aluminium, printing multiple units per pressing, which is very different from printing mainly 1 t-shirt at a time, or indeed always/only pressing t-shirts and once set not needing to adjust anything.
For textiles work, we use our rotary presses, and then cut/sew into products.

Does anyone got a manual or instructions on how too use this product I've searched hi and low and I can't find a website etc
