tshirtn00b 12 Posted December 8, 2011 From another forum... "National Screen Printing Equipment is no longer in business so finding parts and info is a bit hard. Most of the National Screen Printing Equipment machines are just rebranded. Check the id plate to see if there is a manufacturer listed." I'm not familiar with the Xpres brand and from what I've read about Hix machines...they are tried and true, beasts of the industry. It'd be easy to fire em up and take a heat temp gun to em and see if they are distributing even heat across the platen. Me personally, I'd buy all three if I had the money! My heat press stb a while back =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted December 8, 2011 at those prices, IF they work..I'd jump on them. Esp. The Hix. On the hat press, if you only got 10 hats out of it, you would be making money. The other one,..at that price, IF it works, you've not got much to lose and can always part it out. IMHO, the HIX alone is worth more than the total you would pay for all 3.
