I recently got the Stahl's Maxx cap press with the standard platen 6"x3.5" (which is actually 7x3.5) and I'm having trouble with a 5" wide logo. The edges of the design are not releasing evenly from the transfer paper. Their tech support suggested a larger platen.
But I would definitely get the Hotronix over the Maxx just for the pressure sensor and pre heat timer (auto open would be nice too)
