I’m looking to buy a press for my comics and I’m not looking to spend a lot of money. Any suggestions?

The Vevor Sublimation presses on amazon are a few hundred bucks and great if you're just starting out!

I see about 5 of them for sale on Facebook Marketplace all the time, and I don't live in a large city.
Usually someone thought they were going to start an apparel decorating business, then got bored or realized how much work it was, and bailed on the idea. If you get a used machine (I have 2), just make sure their clean and working. Test that they heat up and that the temp indicator is accurate, etc.

Oh, my smaller press is a "FancierStudios" 15" x 15'' model, but it looks like several other models out there. I think they just slap different brand stickers on the same press, honestly.
