low temp plates and a good harbour press will simply outperform any other press shown above and also will be the cheapest setup. Not so traveling friendly though, you set it up and that's where you use it.
If there is Princess Auto near u or whatever I would strongly recommend a 20 ton press. It's a workout to take my 10 ton press up to 9 ton on the gage. A friend scored a 20 ton on sale at Princess Auto for cheaper than I got my 10 ton press. Mine was also on sale around $200!all the t-shirt and panini presses are a waste of time you'd have better luck with a hair straightener/clamp than most of them. I've done some looking around for a small personal set up and will likely get the 10 ton from canadian tire and some 3x3/4x4/3x5 plates. i was thinking from one of two people selling them on Instagram from canada, but the low temp plates look good too. For slightly bigger operations a 20-30 ton and some 3x6/4x7 plates is the way to go, imo.
the two people i was thinking of getting plates from.

For flowers yes. Well, say that u get 12% return with the 10 ton, a 20 ton would probab ll y yield u 15-18% return (my guess) so would not take long to pay for the difference of a more expensive set up...have the CT10 ton..cheaper 4.74 x4.75 cast plates.. its quite a workout to get to 9.. we need more than 9?
If ya don't mind could you post a pick of your setup. Also I might add nice clear shatterall about the PSI i think. i got 20% off a hair straightener and a 600lb clamp. Bigger plates require more pressure to reach that sweet spot.
