    I have an A2 pressmech, a nice bit of kit. Alas not used these days as my wide format printer died and I wasn't that fussed about replacing it.

    Janners.

    It doesn't need 3 phase, they were designed to run off a standard socket. I hadn't thought about selling mine, but I'll have a think about it.

    Depending on if you're just talking about the economy of upfront costs, or the total in terms of man hours and electric costs .... If you're printing fabrics, then a rotary press is a more efficient in terms of a constant workflow, and more efficient in electric use too - heating one long thin area, rather than a big rectangular area.
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heat-Jet-...s/324312081226
    We have one of these 44" ones, and a bigger 64" one
    They are Korean built, and branded by a German company. RA Smart are the dealers for UK on them.
    Our 64" is USA branded, but still the same as the German ones, RA Smart have been good for parts.
    We've also found a really good local company for servicing/repairs on them.

    This is an odd one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Industria...97.m4902.l9144
    There is nowhere to load rolls of fabric, or rolls of printed transfers, so although full size, can only be used for piece work and not roll to roll
    Also, no guard on the front, so the heated drum is very exposed - H&S nightmare, I would def advise getting a cover made for it!
