Thinking about buying a Hix SwingMan 15 Heat Press for Laser Transfers. Is this a good one? Any other recommendations? Here is the URL for it. http://www.bestblanks.com/hixswingman15heatpress.html

Hix has a good reputation.
The Swingman is the least expensive of the swing-away-style heat presses, which are preferred by many, for their ability to press thicker objects and the fact that the platen is perpendicular to the substrate, as opposed to the "clam-style" presses, where the press closes at an angle.
There are clam-style presses equipped with floating platens, which will adjust for thicker objects.

Thanks David,
Mick from Cactus suggested I buy a swing-away-style, and you suggested I buy nothing smaller than a 15"x15". So it looks like this one fits both bills.
One again you have been very helpful.

David,
I'm ready to buy a Hix Swingman15 15x15 Swinger Heat Transfer Press. Could you suggest a couple of places to purchase it from? I see it at Coastal Business supplies, Inc. on special with free shipping. I've never dealt with them, are they O.K.?
Thanks,
Don

Haven't had any experience with Coast Business Supply, but free shipping is an incentive.
Is the free shipping the special, or are they selling the press for less than $635?

David,
They're price for the Press is $645.00. The free shipping is the special. But since I have never dealt with them, I was hoping you had a suggestion of whom I should buy it from. I would rather purchase from a known reputable source, even if I don't get free shipping.
I'll await your reply.
Thank you,
Don

Don,
There's probably more than one reputable source, but one I know of personally, and one I'm sure others would recommend, is Alpha Supply.
Jack Franklin, one of our forum members, will make sure you're treated right. :-)
