Looking for someone to heat press in Suffolk.

The Jolly Good Framer #1 · Wed 23 Apr, 2008 3:51 pm

I’m looking for someone who can heat press a 150x58cm map onto 5mm foam board. But needs to be fairly local to Suffolk.

I have tried googling it and yell.com and can’t find any one.
Can any one help?

Hi there
You need to find someone who has a Hotpress HGP 360 (working area 1095 x 1705mm) and your best bet is to call Steve Goodall at Hotpress and ask who they have suplied in your area.
Snag is most framers (like us) go for the HGP 260 (working area 890 x 1195mm) as it can be plugged into a 13 Amp socket.

Hope this helps.

John.

Hi Guys,
A standard 22x26(like the old Admeco) press you can work in bites, the distance which is important is the depth ( can't remeber what it is)but you have a least another 3"-4" onto of the 26" (then you would need 2 bites then turn it round for another 2 bites to get maxiam width, the length can be any thing depending on were you have set up your press.)
Also start in the middle with the first bite (then turn round and do the opposite middle) and use a alumium cover plate with silcone paper underneath and a carrier board to avoid creases and marks.

Cheers MITREMAN

As Mitreman points out a flat bed press e.g. Ademco would do the job "in bites". Makes you wonder why we all sold our Ademcos for a few hundred quid and invested (?) thousands in those new fangled hot glass vacuum presses!

I've still got my old Ademco. I kept it as a backup rather than sell it for a pittance and it does come in handy sometimes.
