Hi,
i want to buy a heat press for hobby use, to print myself and my 4 year old nephew some shirts because i bought a cheap plotter soem weeks ago and now i want to try shirts. Now you could say that i should buy a super budget press for like 150 Euro on amazon but i am not like that, i want the best value for the money and i studied alot of videos in the last weeks about heat presses. Ive learned that is important to have good quality heat plate for an even temperature, even in the corners. Also the pressure should be very even as well. With this knowledge in mind it is pretty hard for me to chosse the right press since i dont want to make a mistake here. My absolute limit is 350 Euro which is about 300 pounds incl shipping. Since i am from germany i found out that signzworld has alot of machines for good prices, some of them look more professional than others for nearly the same price but that probably means nothing. I found out that the Galaxy Neptun press would be a very good press but its out of my limit in terms of pricing, i can not justify such a press just for fun use. Thats why i found these alternatives and maybe somebody is here to tell me which one is the best in terms of quality, even pressure and temperature. The japanese style Heat press HP3803 seems to be pretty good value for the money according to this forum.

If somebody has other suggestions in this price class please tell me :) Maybe some videos on youtube are biased because they get sponsored from company X and want to show how inferior cheaper presses are in terms of uneven temperature and all that, thats why i am asking the real users.
