It was a cheapy one, it was a few months before it come apart. i dont no if it was something i did.

Yup mine was a cheapy too from Ebay, get what you pay for at the end of the day but its doing the job it needs to for now and the way I see it is if it lasts a year then it has more than paid for itself..

Yup, if you plan to use it just now and then or just for one specific purpose, then screw the storage life. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend better quality.

For my first shirts I just tried 200C for 40 seconds. You can't go too wrong. Buy some 100% polyester bed sheets and print on pieces to get temp, pressure and time sorted. If the bed sheet is a bit thin, stick something else under it to make it the same bulk as your shirts.

Much cheaper to cut up a $10 pair of sheets than waste 2 $5 tees.

Thank you all for your advice.

...errr 95mm square!

Always make your templates a couple of mm larger so you can position the coaster easily, do around 97mm would be fine.

When printing onto t-shirts using the swing press what fabric does the T-shirt have to be? and where can you buy them from?

You can press pretty much any fabric with the press mate, I mainly use cotton or a poly/cotton mix cause I mainly do vinyl but you can also use polyester for sublimation and even materials like spandex can be pressed. Hope this helps

That does help thank you. I think i need polyester as i will be using sublimation. do you know a supplier/wholsaler for polyester clothing?

I normally use ralawise but there are also Pencarrie, BTC Activewear and I'm sure there are a couple of guys on here that sell Polyester tees
