got the black series heat press. Love it the only thing I don't like is that. It does not open all the way up so there's chances of you getting burned when putting your material under the heat press. Wish it could have opened a little bit more

Thank you very much. This has been very helpful.

Are the heat presses easy to open and close? Is there some that are easier than others? I want a 15 x 15 heat press but I really need one that is easy to open and close.

Where do you get the design to put on the heat press?? Does it come with it?

Can this heat transfer onto skateboards?

[deelee]

I’m deciding which one to order on your website. You said the swing away is good for thicker items and the slide out drawer gives the benefits of both clamshell and the workspace of a swing away. So would the slide out drawer be good for thicker items as well or should I go with the swing away?

[chrismg]

Thank you. Can I ask which would be better, a 1000w or a 1250w heat press please.
