Barely qualifies as a product
Style: 12x10
This thing is a FAIL on so many levels that I can't even begin to describe how bad it is.
I bought the 12 x 15 press because I thought it would be fun to have a smaller press at the house that I could use to knock out things like mouse pads and coasters when I didn't feel like going to my studio and using my other machines.
What a mistake.
Uneven heat is just one of the issues.
The biggest problem is that when you pull the arm down instead of the springs, adjusting to any height that might come from a coaster or a mouse pad, the whole heat plate just gets pushed back in the pylon, while at the same time, the platform holding the unattached rubber plate tilts down at the front, causing it to sit crooked and not work. It overheats the pieces in the back and under heats the pieces in the front because of the gap it creates..
It's awful .
The timer didn't work . The temperature begins to go down as soon as you start applying the heat plate.
It ruined everything it touched .
Lesson learned - I've been in this business for a long time and I should've known better but I thought for the light duty minimal requirements that I wanted this would probably be OK but it's dismal . It's beyond dismal - buyer beware - don't say I didn't warn you.
