Anybody could recommend a cheap heat press? I am starting as a hobby and would like to get a cheap one just to see how it goes. I will just do tshirts, £150 is my budget.

I was going to put my one on here for sale, but haven't got round to it yet, you can have it for £120. It is not a branded one but has an even heat and pressure. I have had it for about 2 yrs and bought it off of ebay 2nd hand from an art student at Brighton Uni. It has served me well, so much so that I recently upgraded I was able to upgrade my press. It is a clam style NOT swing. If you are interested please PM me and I can send you some photos.

Quite happy for you to sell but please exercise the usual cautions :-) No guarantee etc. can be implied by the forum ;-)
Thank you

Hi wouldnt mention it but I had already bought a cheap heat press on ebay from a company called signzworld but I cant figure out what is causing the problem, when pressing the garment the ink in the middle of the paper transfer is not being transfered completely onto the tshirt.
You can see the ink left on the paper on that area; I am not sure if the problem is with the paper or the heat press itself; after looking close I realized that there is a rough area on the heat press's plate and it seems to be on the exact area of the paper where the the ink is not beeing completely teansfered. I am attaching some photos could some one enlight me on this? Signzworld will take the heat press back and refund me that is the reason I am looking to get some advice on cheap heat press; by the way I am using yolo SS transfer paper, could it be happening due to a faulty paper?

looks like bad pressure in the centre of the plate quite common on cheaper presses, theyre ok for vinyl but sublimation shows up all issues.
I had a similar problem and I found that the press wasn't flat. If you put a long straight ruler on its edge from corner to corner take a look and see if there is a gap right in the centre where your having the problem.

Press something else, move the paper to a different part of the press, if the problem follows the paper, its the paper. If the problem is in the same position relative to the press, its the press. Most likely the press though.
Hi, I have this same problem, could you please let me know whether you solved it or sent the press back for a refund?
have you tried putting a teflon pillow on the base
Hey quinsfan do you still have your press for sale? I may be interested if you want to shoot me over some photos? :)Quote:
