Hello Nik,
I use a Raytek Minitemp which I bought from a supplier in the USA, If I remember correctly it cost around £40 – £50, unfortunately I do not have the suppliers details but I’m sure that they are available through Ebay or the like…..
These are an essential piece of kit for those of us in Dye Sublimation.Good luck with your search

Ours came from Cox Plastics with a load of vinyl.
It works well and does the job.

Have you done the training course Nik? or are you giving it a go, based on your own experience, and from advice given on the boards and elsewhere?
Just wondered,
Peter

this is the one i use, think i paid about £90
only a few weeks ago one of our members of staff very kindly dropped it into water for me… 😕 this has just reminded me to buy a new one!http://www.raytek-northamerica.com/cat. … t_id=2.3.5
i think the gun type hand is best with big display.
watch you dont get one with low temp setting… i.e. max indication of 100 degrees… go for around 200 degrees and above -

rob as you know is the spec on this one ok

TN2 laser guided Infrared Thermometer Ref: 102621
The TN2 is a non-contact infrared thermometer, possibly the smallest infrared thermometer with laser alignment on the market today, measuring only 18 x 50 x 100mm and weighing just 62 grams.
Simply aim the thermometer at the target and press the read button to display the surface temperature. The TN2 indicates temperature over the range of -33°C to +220°C with a resolution of 0.1°C.
The TN2 thermometer incorporates an optical lens that measures temperature by sensing the amount of radiated energy at infrared frequencies. Using this data and the actual temperature of the infrared sensor (thermopile), the TN2 can calculate the temperature of the surface that emitted the energy.
The distance to target ratio is 3:1 therefore the thermometer should be positioned as close to the target as practical. The TN2 infrared thermometer incorporates maximum, minimum and lock (continuous) functions and is switchable between °C and °F. The unit is supplied with a default emissivity of 0.95, however, the emissivity can be changed from 0.01 to 1.Price: £41.42 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
