Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
So, I want a cheap-ass heat press to play around with. I mean...a heat press just should be a heating element...so even a cheap $180 ebay one should work right? Just playing right now, not looking to do serious production, as our main focus is on 500+ quantities.Anyone have any cheap ones they've used before?
I'd look for a used better quality model. . .pierre
Really? I figured its a heating element, easy to create heat....Just about everything probably has some Chinese heating element in it?
the two that always seem to get good reviews are geo knight and hotronix, based on my research.
