Microtech Heat press?
« on: February 07, 2012, 02:49:46 PM »
Has anyone ever tried one?

Microtec Auto Open 16x20 Sublimation Digital Heat Press Machine www.microtecusa.com


Looks good with the auto open and the price is right as well.

I'm trying :)  Thinking about the hix swingman. 

Just saw that and thought it was cool and price was good.  Did some reading on the tshirt forum and apparently looks aren't everything.

LOL! Just get one to start off with that you can justify the cost of, be it the generic or designer variety. I get excellent dependable results from my generic press at a fraction the cost of the designer type. I went generic because it didn't make sense to me to start off at a negative in a saturated market. Your market may be better... or worse.

Thanks!!  I sure hope so anyway :)  We use the heck out of ours.  I do way more transfers/vinyl than embroidery now.  It used to be the other way around.

I should get a screen printing machine next, but I'm having a hard time selling it to my husband ;)

I got 3 years out of my Sunie 15 x 15.  I'm not sure if that's good or bad.  I definitely got my money out of it.  We worked the heck out of it :)

I would still keep an eye out for a hotronix or knight swinger to make it easier - you can definitely get the money back out of the mighty later if you find one.  If you can find a hotronix that the display only goes to the Hello screen and wont go any further, you can pick them up real cheap and I will tell you how to fix them!  I have bought them from $150 to $400.00   the only difference is you want a xs model and not the s - the timer on the s only goes to 99 seconds  the x goes up to 999 seconds!

Ok, thanks. 

That seller was so unfriendly I almost wanted to tell him where to stick that heat press LOL.

I'll keep my eyes opened for sure.
