From: David Nebenzahl on 25 Jan 2008 23:09 Saw a type of dry-mount press I'd never seen before at my local recycled-goods place. It's definitely not a Seal, Inc. press, which is the only type I've seen until now. This one has a larger frame, and in addition to the heated platen and bed, there's an intermediate part with a plastic sheet held between two rods that goes between the platen and bed. The plastic is flexible but seem impervious. There's a large bolt in the middle of the frame to adjust the pressure, and two lights, one marked "HEAT", the other "AT TEMP", plus a temperature control. Does anyone know what type of press this is and how this works? This one seems to be in good working condition and not too much money.

Mine doesnt have the plastic Sounds like this might be a T-shirt press. |
