My press operators seam to like the hot head better, but I think that the stampinator is more effective.
One thing, with the stampinator if going on hoodies it won't work great at least on a M&R press as it comes down uneven on the garment as it's offset but the hood.

I didn't even think about the pocket on the hoodie making it an uneven surface! Possibly a special pallet for that. More $$
In that case, an iron may be the best choice. Hoodies are my main reason for the Iron or Stampinator.
Do you still need to flash with the Stampinator? I was led to believe that you didn't or maybe just an option when you need to.
I know that a few M&R guys swear by the Hot Head. Is the Roq Iron the same or a just similar?

this is my argument for the stampinator:
-It is a roller and a flash in one unit.
that's it, game over!

Pretty much! We have not touched our iron since we got the stampanator. In fact if someone want to buy a ROQ Iron I'd be happy to sell ours.
We found that especially with like a sponge fleece garment the Iron would sometime move the garment a bit, this could be minimized with less pressure and some screwing around, but you can take all those things out of the equation if you use the Stampinator.

So you can stamp wet ink to flash it and it won't stick or blur the image?
