  1. I'm selling my epson 7520 for $100 plus shipping. It comes with refillable carts and ink from print pay less if your interested. Send me a PM and I can estimate shipping for you.

    I had put that I didn't want to ship it because I don't have the original box but it seems it might be a hard sell for anyone local so I'm open to shipping it.


  2. Coastal Business gave me free shipping when i ordered my fusion from them.  They keep them in stock and ship fast.

     

    Correction...  I did have to pay a $50 or so residential fee.  But if you have a business location then shipping really would be free. :)


  3. Went ahead with the Fusion this morning. Have to admit I'm pretty excited! I ordered the next size down platen too (11"x 15") This last big job I dd more than paid for the press so I decided I better get it before that money evaporated out of the account as it seems to do. 

     

     

    Its an awesome press.  I am sure you won't be disappointed. :)


  4. how much was it .. i missed this posting :( i would of taken it !

     

    crap i didn't see how old this post is

     

     

    I had it listed on the Forums for $320 and thats what i took for it local.  It was still half full of ink.

     

    lol it was an old post... I had it listed months ago and just recently listed it again.


  5. Our Fusion has been great.  We have had it since the end of January this year.  Stahls seems to be really great when it comes to service, even on some of the presses that are 15+ years old, from threads i have read previously.  Fortunately i have not had to contact customer service except for a shipping issue.  That was for an accessory platen and not the actual heaters.  We have pressed 8+ hours straight many times and it has never let us down.  It gets back up to temp quickly.  The touchscreen is easy to use, and besides just looking "cool" i find it very useful.  I like being able to store different presets in the Fusion.  It gives you the option to store each preset temp, pressure, and a timer for up to four presses.  We have only used the swing away option probably 2 times, all other times it has been the draw function.  I love being able to pull the entire platen out away from the heat to get everything lined up.  At times i would find it easier for some designs to be able to thread from the back, and line it up i have never really had issue with it.

     

    I had read when the Fusion first came out a few people had issues with the slide assemblies.  Those issues seemed to have been worked out, and they should be seeing as the Fusion has been out for Years. 

     

    I researched for a few months before i bought my Fusion and kept going back and fourth, mostly between it and a Geo Knight.  In the end i am absolutely sure i made the right decision and have never once regretted buying the fusion.  I have confidence the Stahls will be around for the long haul.  Ultimately i put my choice between the 16 x 20 Hotronix Hover (because eventually we plan to get into DTG) and the Fusion.

     

    I decided that the swing away and draw functions looked to be the best of both and i expect we will get many happy years out of our fusion.

     

    I would recommend purchasing the 11 x 15 accessory platen for women cut and youth shirts.  I also bought the upper bra to protect the heat platen.  I also have had plans for months to buy the lower quick slip protectors for both the 16 x 20 platen and the 11 x 15, i just haven't done so yet.

     

    Whatever you buy just make sure you get free shipping, and like i told djque make sure you have some help when it is delivered.  We spent about a week looking for a table sturdy and large enough to hold the heat press but never found anything suitable.  In the end i just ended up building one out of 2x4's and blonde board at Lowes.  Another concern i had was having the heat press high enough that i would not be bending over as much to use it as I'm reasonably tall.

     

    If you have any specific questions ask here in the forum or send me a PM and i will be happy to answer.   :)  Oh and one last thing... i kept going back and fourth in my head over the auto clams and auto open, but to be honest, not having that feature has never been an issue for myself or my wife.

  7. Yeah I saw the box on YouTube. they guy said he can save me $250 and they can ship it to ryonet which is 5 minutes from me. but its might be to late. he quoted me 1 day then the next I got about 5 others calling me.

     

    he was the only one that said he could have it shipped there.

     

    Where are you buying it from?

     

    I got free shipping from Coastal when i bought mine.  Although i did have to pay a $50 residential delivery fee.  That was a waste because the driver couldn't get a tractor trailer near my house.  There is no where to turn around on these back mountain roads.  He did however call me the morning of delivery as he had looked up the address on google maps and saw that driving to my house wasn't an option.  We arranged to meet at the local Lowes Home Improvement store instead.

     

    I didn't even know it would come on a tractor trailer or i could have probably saved my $50 bucks.  I thought it would come in a van, box truck, or even on of the Fedex pickup trucks.  In hindsight it wasn't a big deal.  It was snowing that week, and picking it up 10 mins from my house was better than driving 1.5-2 hours to the nearest freight hub.  I figured the delivery would have been delayed but i was pleasantly surprised to get it a couple days after ordering it.

     

    I bought the upper platen teflon bra for my Fusion.  I use a cover sheet still anyways but like the extra protection.  I have plans to order a quick slip lower protector for the 16x20 platen and the 11 x 15 platen i ordered from Stahls.


  8. I think the HTV the sell at Michael's and Joann's is just repackaged HTV from Siser, Stahls or similar.  It's all applied at home with an Iron.  Buy a foot or two of EZ Weed on your next order from USCutter and test it out on a few of your own shirts.

     

    I would stick to small designs and would think about investing in a heat press before you start selling shirts to paying customers.

     

    Sometimes it can take 5 - 15 wash cycles before you see the HTV fail prematurely.
