Even heat across the platen matters more than the top temperature · review
A 5-in-1 swing-away press with a 12 × 15 inch Teflon platen and a control box that counts presses, with more than 1,000 ratings behind it.
More than 1,000 ratings at 4.3 make this the safer of the two combos here.
The listing adds a press counter and other functions, which helps in small batches.
The table prints 750 °F. No transfer needs that, and it reads like a data error.
