I love everything about this video thanks for taking your time

[@AngieHolden]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Cricuter]

You're supposed to place the mug in the center where the little mug and arrow is. Then it won't close all crooked. If you have 2 mugs in at a time it will still be level. Only one mug, always in the center.

[@AngieHolden]

I mentioned that in the video but I was saying if you have something that has a lip on it that can't go in the center, you won't be able to do just one.

[@Emily_enjoy_crafting]

Specific tutorial about the HTVRONT tumbler heat press! Thank you for your sharing!

[@julieann5196]

Thanks for this review Angie, it's very helpful.

[@soniar3051]

Thanks I appreciate your honest review on this product. It helps deciding what kind of machine we want especially if you're on a budget and can only invest in one machine. As always you did a fantastic job explaining the pros and cons.

[@AngieHolden]

Thank you for watching!

[@cdstark116]

I have this tumbler press plus an oven for anything it can't handle, works well for me. Good review!

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@peppermintoccassions5170]

This why i follow you. Your honesty thanks

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@tinatomassetti4507]

Thanks for this video, it came at the perfect time. I have been looking at this press, and now see the restrictions and challenges. I have a Vevor Mug Press, and I love it. I have used it for tapered tumblers, from using your instructions on a previous video. I think I'll stick to this for now.

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome!

[@helensonnichsen1173]

I love mine! Just use for mugs and works great.

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome!

[@monabryant9984]

Great review. Thank you!

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks for watching!

[@juneshaw1219]

Thanks, I have been thinking about getting a tumbler press and was wondering

[@AngieHolden]

Glad I could help!

[@kuckynana74]

Thanks for the tip on tumbler presses. I was able to learn so much .

[@angelprice3813]

I returned mine after 2 days and bought the PYD Life Tumbler press, which I love!

[@edisondairo3618]

same returned after 2 days. all mugs came out blurry on top/bottom

[@AngieHolden]

Yea I definitely like my PYD life one better!

[@yvonnetucker1416]

I want one

[@kcurrier32]

I have the HTVRont auto press and it does make the same noise the tumbler does after fully pressing every time I use it. I believe that is just how it creates the added pressure.

[@AngieHolden]

It is SO scary!!!

[@vickiesilverman3288]

I wish I would’ve seen this before I bought this because I would have purchased the machine you mentioned that you is more versatile. They have a terrible return policy too.

[@AngieHolden]

Yea it is definitely not as versatile!

[@brittanypugh6327]

New to sublimation and interested in buying either a tumbler press or sublimation oven. I heard you recommended PYD life. Would you recommend that brand for their sublimation oven also? Also do you prefer the press over the oven (to do other projects also)? Thank you! 😊

[@edisondairo3618]

i just went for a "Oster" brand oven and a oven thermometer to put inside and double check the temperature before i put the mugs in. same results as a PYD oven and costs 1/3 the price.

[@AngieHolden]

I would recommend PYD life for both. I like the press but the oven is the budget choice if you are not doing much sublimation.

[@myrawhite9138]

I was just wondering what I did wrong with my tumbler. I used the same print on a shirt and the tumbler. The shirt came out so nice and vibrant, however, the tumbler print was not as vibrant. What could be the problem? Love watching your videos.

[@AngieHolden]

Sometimes you do need different print settings for different types of blanks. Then you may check your press time and temperature as it depends on the blank that you use.

[@CrackedSociety]

I wonder if you could sublimate a funnel cafe mug evenly? Or whatever they’re called, the mugs that go wide to narrow on the bottom.

[@AngieHolden]

I didn't have luck with anything except straight sided.

[@helenbroadbridge513]

Hi Angie i have one of those tape dispensers & for the life of me cannot load it. It felt like a waste of money. Can you do a video on how to load it all up please

[@AngieHolden]

Try this: kzbin.infoJICR1pGb-WY

[@christinaschuricht8506]

Tysvm for asking and answering with the link too. ..I had the same question lol

[@helenbroadbridge513]

Thankyou

[@rosalynvfrazier]

Didn't like this machine and went back to my sublimation oven. Always got ghosting and it wasn't my taping method since the oven approach worked well. Customer service with this company is subpar. Interested in trying the GO2CRAFT vertical mug press to see if that is a good option.

[@AngieHolden]

My guess is it is similar to this one.

[@rosalynvfrazier]

@@AngieHolden Actually I just purchased it and made 2 tumblers last night and thought it was a much better product. Perhaps you can do a video on htat one since there has been so much negativity on the HTV Ront version

[@asimpson9295]

How did you feel about the electrical cord? I thought it should have been heftier. Similar to a cricut mug press

[@AngieHolden]

I was fine with it.

[@jenniferhardwick4485]

When the press closed on the first Tumbler it appeared that the press was making the paper even tighter and causing it to wrinkle or lift away from the mug on the top. Was that just an optical illusion or was the press actually tightening the sublimation paper more and causing it to wrinkle?

[@AngieHolden]

It didn't wrinkle that I noticed at least on the final project!

[@turtlehopper81]

may i ask, what is your favorite press for mugs and tumblers?

[@AngieHolden]

I would say the PYD life tumbler press.

[@LanceMcGrew]

Walmart showing $159.99

[@AngieHolden]

Sorry not sure on pricing.

[@lu.kreativ_backup]

I would love to know if it would work with white toner or DTF. Didn't test it yet. ☺️🩷

[@edisondairo3618]

there is a new tech that is better than DTF. Search for FTS on youtube, videos in spanish. Advantage is that the white dye is not in the ink, but in the DTF powder. It uses paper instead of plastic to print. No more printhead clogs!

[@lu.kreativ_backup]

@@edisondairo3618 thanks a lot, I got a white toner printer today and didn't test yet, if the pressure of the HTVRONT mug press is enough for white toner transfers.

[@AngieHolden]

DTF does not work well on mugs/tumblers. You could use with white toner.

[@lu.kreativ_backup]

No my question was, if the auto tumbler press would word with white toner prints ☺️🩷
