3barefoot 52 Posted August 10, 2017 I think my "free" heat press that I've had for 2 years has finally bit the dust. It's a Ricoma HP-0601MP model. Says it was made 05/2011. How long does a heatpress normally last? Like I said I got this one for FREE and it has been a good one other than the wires have came loose a time or two. What is a good press to get? I do not do this as fulltime job. I mostly press uniform shirts for baseball team. I think that is what has done my press in this time, 65 shirts double layer front and back.

GraphxNMore 282 Posted August 29, 2017 We had a cheapy a couple years and it almost burnt our house down. The control unit shorted and turned the platen on heating the pad until it started smoldering. Currently own a US Cutter press. Had it around a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
