I have this press. Same color. I purchased it in March. I love it. I have sublimated and ironed lots of things. I have even sublimated a 6x sweatshirt. I just pushed the base in and held it and it closed. There is one thing that when it is new it will make a pop noise. That was kind of scary. I contacted HTVRONT and they said it would go away it was some kind of thing that just happens when it is new. I no longer have the popping noise. I had a 8 in 1 press before this one. I had it for about 3 years and had lots of problems with it heating in some areas. I had a few craft shows and made so many things with the HTVRONT press including, coasters, shirts, sweatshirts, mousepads, car tags, pop sockets, cardstock for cards, and so many other things. I have never had any problems. I always use my large tefflon sheet so that nothing small gets stuck to the lid. I also love the slide out feature. I love my new HTVRONT auto press. May not be for everyone but it's for me. Love your videos Angie. Your the best!!!

Hi! Can I ask you how you went about heating a sweatshirt? I just tried my hoodie and it was extremely difficult to get it to close and parts of the design didn’t come off.

A HUGE pro that no one ever mentions is that the outside of the device DOES NOT get HOT. I had another press that scared me because the outside of it was extremely hot. This is a lot safer for people with children or cats. They will only be harmed if they put their fingers (or paws) inside the press.

I have found work around for some of the cons. When doing polo shirts I simply place a Cricut heat mat inside the shirt. It makes it pretty thick so I use a large Teflon sheet over it and hold it down on each side as I push the tray in. I’ve probably done 300+ shirts since getting this press. My only wish is to have the carriage come out a little farther. Saying that, I have never burned myself.

I love it, I purchased mine on pre-sale last year. I have the swing away and found that more scary with that heat plate swinging to the side of me. I also have several other means to heat set my projects if any of the issues listed became an issue for me. I’ve done the heavy hoodies with HTV and like you showed here, I just turned it sideways. I highly recommend this press

I just received my HTVRont yesterday. I LOVE IT!! I had an old used clamshell that was not heating right (probably ever since I got it 2nd hand) and I did burn myself on it. It was probably twice as heavy as the HTVRont auto press as well. I do think I might purchase another clamshell in the future but I can see this HTVRont taking me a long way before the "need" for a clamshell arises.

The auto open feature is mandatory for me now too. I make a lot of smaller, solid items for sale (especially coasters, car coasters, and magnets). I've figured out a) use a nomex pad on top of the regular pad, and b) use cardstock shims to get extra pressure - I tried the Artesprix firm foam pad under the regular pad and it was too much pressure. A handful of heavyweight sheets of cardstock was just right.

Hi. I just bought one of these presses, I want to try to use it with White Toner Transfers for dark garments with my OKI8432 White toner printer. I have seen this press work with many different types of transfers, HTV Vinyl, sublimation, and DTF (Digital Transfer to Film) transfers, so I figure the press is versatile enough for White Toner Transfers which are very similar to DTF transfers. White Toner Transfers for Dark garments require a two step process - first, print the design onto a clear film, then press a sheet of glue to the clear film at 320 degrees for 120 seconds at medium pressure (marrying the two sheets so to speak), then press the married sheets onto the garment at 320 degrees for 30 seconds using medium to heavy pressure. I am failing on this second step with the HTVRont press because I can't get heavy pressure. Help me understand how the pressure works on this machine so I can jerry-rig it to use more pressure for the second step of my process. If I were to add a teflon pillow underneath my shirt, causing there to be less clearance between the top of the platen and substrate, does that create more pressure?

I find that adding thickness does NOT in fact increase the pressure at least to any amount that makes a difference. I am pretty sure it has a pressure sensor and once it reaches a certain pressure it just holds it.

Thank you. Just curious. I am all of a sudden having issues with lines on my butcher paper which leaves them on my laminate when pressing. I've tried with and without extra pads for more and less pressure. I cant attach an image to show you. @@AngieHolden

Hi @delynnegomez - you can definitely do coasters- and they turn out beautifully! I have had this press since it first came out and have spent a lot of time experimenting with different substrates/times/temps etc. This press is amazing and I think that most crafters who have bought it and really spent the time to get to know it would say the same. I have been making coasters, t-shirts, metal plaques, slate pictures, thick wooden plaques, mousemats, keyrings, hoodies, and little patches for sewing on to jeans etc. I experimented until I got it right. I made it all for a winter artists craft fair. I have had no issues with lack of space when threading hoodies or t-shirts over the platen at all, or issues with pressure. And this machine IS substantial…I find it quite heavy to lift so it stays in the one place. I also have other brands of heat presses…I have a Magic Touch clamshell press, a Cricut Easy Press 2, Cricut Mini, Cricut mug press and the HTVront tumbler and mug press. I love all of them…but my out and out favourite is this HTVront auto press. If you do buy one then I would suggest that you spend time experimenting with it and all it can do - personally I don’t think you will be sorry. Apologies for this long reply but I hope it helps you👍

I love my purchase, but to be honest every heat press has its pro's and cons the User defined button is a positive and the auto saves on energy for me. The shutdown if not in use after 10 minutes is a big positive. If I have anything to large for the gap I will use the swing away, especially substrates that require more pressure that this machine gives, a small price to pay for a beautiful addition to my sublimation.
