Recommend me a cap press
« on: May 14, 2015, 08:05:26 AM »
We have a Hix cap press but that thing is fairly old and is beginning to fall apart.
I like the look of the Stahls Hotronix cap press but would like to see some alternatives too. Any other brands out there worth mentioning?

I started a thread on this subject just a few weeks ago here: http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,14746.0.html

Some good info.

I actually picked up a used 178U Geo Knight yesterday.  It's analog, and old, but looks brand new and works perfectly.  Built like an absolute tank.

I picked an older Hotronix for $250, one of the black ones, pretty cheap actually, and it's really easy to operate, we use it a lot... we also have a really G. Knight, with one head that swivels and 2 hat holders for faster production...
