Does anyone have any experience of budget heatpresses?
I'm looking to do small heat-transfer/film labels, plus potentially A4ish sublimation. Would be used occasionally for samples and small batch runs - ie, I'm not banging out T-shirts all day. Power would run from oven loop on consumer unit, with heavyweight extension cable, and would have a ventilation unit to extract glue/heat fumes.
Looking around there's a handful of models which are re-badged at the £120-£150 mark. Some look better quality than others, but it's impossible to tell ...an attractive thing at this price is that it includes other accessory elements for smaller items, caps etc
There's then a step up to £600+ models, which isn't out of the question, but would prefer not to spend this much, unless necessary and the cheaper ones are a false economy.
Any insight gratefully received, thank you!
