We apologise to our customers for the non availability of certain Berol products. Berol are a great example of how not to deal with a customer. We have been waiting since January 2006 for deliveries of the fabric pens and fabric markers. We have repeatidly contacted Berol who are part Sanford UK, which in turn is a divison of Newell Rubbermaid to find out when our goods will be delivered. On each ocassion we have been given a specific delivery date which we have passed on to our customers. However the goods have repeatidly failed to arrive. This poor service from Berol whose slogan is “performance to be proud of” is not acceptable We have been unable to find an alternative supplier in the UK. We are now looking at alternative manufacturers in France and Germany.

This means that you select your products and order with just one or two clicks. If you are using Google Checkout for the first time, you only have to fill out a single page of information to make your first purchase. After that, you just need to enter your Google Checkout login to make a purchase.

There are five items you need to consider when shopping for a heat transfer press:
• Ease of use
• Pressure Control
• Versatility
• Durability
• Price
Ease of use
When testing a heat transfer press, take note of the ease in which you can lay the garment between the plates, the amount of pressure needed to create a clean press, and how easily the machine works overall. If you choose to buy a swing-head manual press, make sure that the handle creates a tight seal on the clothing so the heat transfer is clean. The machine must be suited to the operator that is going to use it. Manual presses need a degree of physical strength and stamina particularly if they are to be used on a constant basis. If the operator can’t handle a particular press you have a problem.
Pressure Control
Nylon, cotton, and blended fabrics require different amounts of pressure in order to complete heat transfers. The more control you have, the more items you will be able to transfer print. A manual press relies on the strength of the operator to force the two plates of the heat press together. In contrast a Pneumatic press, relies on air pressure, supplied by an external compressor. This allows the heat press to close at the push of a button rather requiring the operator to close the press manually. This allows greater consistentcy of pressing from garment to garment. However the major benefit of the pneumatic press is greater productivity per operator. If productivity is critical to your business then chose a pneumatic press.
Versatility
In order to choose the right press you need to know what you are going to print. Even if most of your customers are looking for printed t-shirts, you may need to be able to use your press in other ways. Will your customers want logos and names on bags, hats, umbrellas as well as other items.
If you want this versatility, buy a press with an interchangeable bottom plate so that you can print a variety of products.
Think about your business in terms of what you want to accomplish and buy a press that meets these needs.
Durability
There is a wide difference in heat press prices.
Unfortunately, there are presses that although low in cost, do not live up to expectations. A he
