I recently had my adkins fixed after a heat fault. With return carriage, loan machine and repairs the cost was around £450. A few weeks later having used once a week the display went black and the press stopped heating up. Adkins say it sounds like we need a new controller and as this wasn't part of the initial repair will cost. So again carriage and loan of another press will cost around £250.
The press was purchased second hand in 2017.its one of the older presses and we use it for both clothing and hard substrates. At this point I'm thinking to buy a hotronix as would really like to be able to measure pressure precisely instead of guessing each time.
But we're looking at £2.5k.
Could do with some advice here as we use white toner so need a very good heat press.
