[@tiffm3110]

@@Shahmar I went all in I wanted to have options to expand, I got a heat press, Epson printer, ink. I also wanted to do baby clothes so I got a sewing machine, embroidery machine, I got a cricut so I could do vinyl

[@Shahmar]

@@tiffm3110 Gone then! I hear the cricut machines are worth it;sounds like you got some really good design ideas. I'm torn between getting a $500 heat press and just paying $2 a shot to have my jpegs transferred to paper or investing that $500 into an adobe acrobat design program,printer, portable iron and transfer paper supplies.Interesting timing by you? you got a chance to blow up.

[@tiffm3110]

@@Shahmar I LOVE my cricut! I got the maker and I love that it cuts fabric and draws on the seam allowance since I'm still new. Idk if I got lucky with timing or super unlucky. I planned for over a year and jumped in this December but then Corona hit! I've been having trouble ordering supplies and being delayed. I didn't want to pay for design so I've been learning Gimp. When I say I'm new I'm 100% new. I personally like having a heat press. I invested in a heat press nation one and it's so worth it. I press the shirts really fast, sublimation, vinyl, heat and bond applique for embroidery. I really hope this work out because I need to work for myself. Not get rich but enough to pay bills and be happy

That’s a good choice I will be getting that one soon.

[@user-lu4qe5td3o]

Nice I want to order that fancier studio one, does it heat evenly? any problems adjusting the pressure. I have the swing away by mophar and its was good for 6 months now I cant adjust the pressure smh.

[@ays2013boss]

The 16 by 20 or 16 by 24 I have both of them and to be quite honest I don't like it. If the 20 or 24 was vertical instead of horizontal it would be better it's really Hard to do T shirts on such a wide area I'm getting a 15 by 15 instead

[@the_truth21]

AHPS 2018 thank you for your feed back.

[@ays2013boss]

Well I talked to heat press nation and they do have a 16x20 and a 16x24 portrait style,which means that 20" is going up-and-down rather than left and right. I ordered it and it's awesome I realized that 15" isn't enough so I sent that back and got a 16 x 20 portrait style which is perfect. I suppose 24" would be even better but that Extra 5" is perfect because alot of my designs are bigger than 15" so you have to adjust the shirt and heat press a second time which I don't like and can cause the vinyl to not be applied properly heating it up again. With the 20" I can get pretty much any design with one press. So I will save everybody a lot of time, forget the 15x15 it will limit you go for a 16x20 portrait style heat press,trust me you will thank me. I found out it's only like 30 bucks more I thought it was hundreds more so why the hell wouldn't you lol. And one more thing I ordered a swing away press and it didn't swing all the way off the platen which made it harder to use than a clamshell. Unless you get the really expensive Stahls heatpress the HPN brand doesn't swing all the way off the platen and its sucks trying to adjust the shirt trust me. It is a horrible horrible design. Anyway sorry for such a long reply I hope I can help people through my trial and error.

I just purchased one, and so glad I picked this one! I was so tired of researching and reading mixed reviews on Amazon, that I decided to search youtube and came across this video. This is my first heat press, and I didn't want anything too large, but this machine is not that big for a 15x15, but it is very heavy. The buttons were easy to set and it is very smooth. I love the slide-out feature and I feel safe using it. I've seen other presses that people use where their hands are right under the hot plate which terrifies me, so I don't have to worry about that with this machine. I am very happy with my purchase.. thanks for a great and honest video!

I got the 16x20 from Heat Press Nation and the mother board was broken. They sent a replacement part and it still didn’t work. Shipped it back (horrible experience), and they shipped another one. Opened the new box and broken pieces were all over the box. It was bolted to a wooden board for shipping but arrived damaged twice. Ended up ordering a nicer press from Sign Warehouse. Great customer support and got a bunch of free stuff.

[@BubbasChibi]

I am thinking that the pull out tray will save my back from too much leaning over. The pull down arm looks really hard to pull back up after it's done. I'm an older woman without the strength that you have in your arms. So, if I lessen the tightness of the top plate will I still get a good adhesion? Could I set the timer for a little longer to make up the difference? Thanks for a great video. Very well explained.

[@StanBanks]

They say you can lower temp in increase time. For pressure I tell people as tight as they can handle honestly so you should be good.

the swing away press is so much better if you do sublimation. swing aways get even pressure. I have a clamshell for vinyl and swing away for sublimation.

[@StanBanks]

Agreed

[@Ladyvscraftique]

Why the difference? I'm looking forj a great press and your comments left me with more?s

[@StanBanks]

Sublimation needs even pressure for thinker sub straights outside of shirts. So a swing away is better because it’s a straight up and down press and it’s always flat. Clam shells do fine for thinner sub straight and they have been made with some give. But it’s un natural for anything thick.

[@stephanvelez4543]
