Hi guys

Just seeking opinions on cap heat presses.

I'm not really looking for a combination press but more a purpose designed press for caps.

Cheers

Mine gets used most for printing chest and sleave logos on polo shirts. Really good for that.
Eg press image on rear of polo, out press sleave, get the timing right and I can sail along. Caps.... Never done them!

echo Jmugs, most use is for arms and breasts!
We sell a lot of hats, most are undecorated, I could not justify £700 for a new press, got very lucky s/h thou.
We find it a lot harder to get a good margin on hats, blanks cost about the same as T, but cannot achieve similar end price.
Useful extra gadget, but ours gets a lot less work than I imagined on hats.

Oki White printer
Wide format Print and cut (for full colour)
Or good old fashioned white vinyl

will all print/cut vinyl for a hat in the same way they are used for dark garments.
USING: Whatever it takes to get the job done...
