It was extremely funny to watch a couple of the experts in another forum argue about the pros and cons of the same exact paper with a different name.

I see the same thing with embroidery stabilizer all the time.  It is funny to watch people staunchly defend one brand name over another when the product is actually exactly the same thing.

thank you all for answering all my questions now i dont have to go reading tons of information and finally found all my answers. I have to wait till september 30, for my heat press to be shipped!!!  i know its not proworlds fault im a just eager to start my shirts! was even thinking about just getting the MAXX heat press 11x15 so i can start already even though there is 200 extra but is it worth it? or just wait!!

could someone please rate heat presses from the best to the worst, relating to quality.

Impossible to do. You would have to own a number of presses to make comments. I own a Mighty press. They no longer make it. actually they just changed a few things and changed the name. Most presses are the same, meaning they do the same things. But you can have whistles and bells or just a manual. You can have different sizes. You can pay a Little or a lot. But then remember you get what you pay for. Now that said my mighty press is 4 years old and it is as good as new for what it does. It has a few scratches and such with use but that is to be expected. Unless you go to one of the trade shows to view different vendors you just have to bite the bullet and hope you make the right choice. Lou

I agree with Lou.

Here is a feature comparison site from my faves list.

Read this entire link. You will gain a maximum of understanding and knowledge of the features of the many presses available. That will enable you and others to make an informed decision on the purchase.

I have a Mighty Max press as well. I hate it but can't afford to replace it. Does that mean it is no good quality wise??. NOPE. I have printed way over a thousand shirts and hard goods with it with zero issues with the mechanics or electrics. I just don't like the fact that it is a clam shell.

I have a Maxx by Sthals and LOVE it. It is 15x15. Never an issue. I purchased this after having-at the beginning of this year,purchased a lesser costing, lesser quality press - whose 2 year warranty was never honored. A good starting point is always - do they have a good customer service department. Will they consistently, day in and day out, for each customer, stand behind their product. That will lead you down the correct path. Saving a little now, will cost you a lot over the long run. IMHO.
