Great Press
I'm a first time shirt maker for my llama hiking business in the Smoky Mountains. I researched presses on the market and this came up as one of the best yet the ratings on Amazon don't reflect it. I was not sure on purchasing this press because of the reviews that people have posted on Amazon. I figured for a couple hundred bucks it was worth the gamble.
I took it out of the box and it had instructions (read where some presses do not). I purchased some transfers and t-shirts already and started pressing the first day. I have pressed over 200 shirts so far and has worked flawlessly. I only had one mistake and that was because I rushed and the press was not hot enough yet when I pressed on a transfer.
I was thinking that a swing arm would be helpful because it moved the hot plate out of the way while you put the shirts in their position...I found that I was pretty good at situating the shirt just right without getting burnt.
I would purchase another one if I had to. Hope this was helpful to someone.
