HGP 260 hot press - no pump

[T.J.G]

Hi Folks,

I did some framing in 2010, framing my own artwork, I bought a HGP 260 heat press in 2015 with the intention of using it, I never have as it needs a pump. I mostly use T-hinges to mount my own work now. I'm not sure what to do with it, one day I would like to have a little business framing, but just now it's a bit in the way. Also, will I ever use it, what are people's thoughts, I don't know any alternative other than cold press. Are they still the industry standard for mounting large prints and posters onto say dibond?

All thoughts welcome

Many thanks
Thomas
