New iron or tshirt press?

[phins_jazy]

Hey guys. I've got a question for all you experts. There are 10 of us going to Disney at christmas time. I'm the designated tshirt maker. 10 people x 7 days = 70 shirts= a ton of ironing! I did shirts for my daughter for bmx and although there were only 5 shirts they took forever! With 70 shirts I'm really contemplating getting a tshirt press. This is one that I'm looking at http://www.proworldinc.com/item/productid/mp998/ Does anyone have any input on this? I guess I could always sell a few non disney shirts on the side to help recoup the cost. I'm torn at what I should do. My poor arms don't want to iron 70 shirts!

We have a press - it was worth every penny. We make T-shirts for every birthday party, scout troop, family vacation, etc. The kids at my daughters' school all want personalized T-Shirts for Birthday gifts.

The long-term quality is AMAZING. No cracks, very little fading.

And really, all DH's idea and I kind of thought he was crazy. I'm a total convert. All of the T-shirts in my recent post were made with the press - you can check those out.

I am always making shirts for everything. So I am also interested in a heat press and am thinking it is totally the way to go if you are doing over 70 shirts.

Also check your local craigslist. I just found one for $160 bucks. So that might help too.

I just bit the bullet and ordered a press! Now to find some transfers for it so I'll be ready to go once it gets here.
