[@annettemichalik9937]

ty for the input on this press i have been debating buying. think i,ll be ordering mine soon

[@darlenepino1056]

Thank you for the review. I'm definitely getting one of these now. It is great for those who have limited use of a hand/arm/wrist/fingers.

[@BonnieLindsey-f5e]

Thank you for your great video…I learned about sublimation and I bought one on Amazon!!

[@shellyjacob6037]

As always, another great thorough video. I just received my heat press, so, after watching your video, I’m feeling more confident to begin using it. Thank you!

[@lilabrendel8512]

I left a message earlier with your other tip and tricks video. I found this video and I heard you explain the auto button. YOu're awesome. You don't to answer those 2 questions anymore.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

Excellent review. Thank you for sharing

[@JeanHarper-d6u]

Hi Debbie, just wondering if I should unplug the heat press as it does not have an on off switch other than it shuts off after 10 minutes of non use. Really good tutorial from you thanks.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I can’t wait to get mine. I have a 15x15 in heat press in my garage but I can’t bring it into my craft room b/c of the size. I thought I’d check this one out. I was really surprised by the cost of it. I was afraid it would be too expensive for my budget but I was pleasantly surprised.

I love their vinyl have used it for about 2 1/2 years, I may have to get the press

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

oh good to know ! I have been using their vinyl products a couple of months and been impressed with it and the value.

[@tammya7138]

How many seconds does it go up to? Because I do sublimation with rock slates and they require 420 seconds. I only heard one other person say 99 seconds but not sure if that is accurate?

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

Hi ! Yes 99 seconds is the longest. But what I did was just keep adding another round until I got up to 429 . It’s probably the 1 downside if you do a lot of high heat long time projects.

[@marklola12]

The swing arm heatpresses you actually do not need to swing them if you do not have room you can just raise the heat platen up and leave it where it is, i have one that happens to also have a pull out drawer so its rare i need to swing it out the way.

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

That is really interesting. The swing arm one I had before did not do that. Thanks for letting me know.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

Mine does not have the pull out drawer. What machine do you have?

[@marklola12]

issues, like when you put the grey tshirt onto the machine the correct way but then say if you want you can turn it sideways.....you should mention bigger tops and hoodies you CAN NOT load the normal front way as the machine does not shut with the overhanging material at the back as there is no where for it to go so you are forced to load sideways making it way harder to line images up

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

I didn't have a sweatshirt available to demonstrate but I am getting one to demonstrate. I do personally know other reviewers that did try sweatshirts and hoodies with no issues by using the side method like I showed or by pressing with the hood hanging off the front. I will be testing this myself soon and will report back on my findings.

Why is my power button still blinking with the power off?

[@LouRao]

just got my HTVRONT Auto Heat Press Machine today. And wanted to know if it is normal for the power button to blink as soon as it is plugged into an outlet? Also, I powered the unit on to make sure it worked, turned the unit off but the power button light will not stop blinking (unit does turn off) for over an hour -had to unplugged it to keep it from blinking. Let me be clear, when I turn off the heatpress it goes off, but the power button light will not stop blinking unless it is unplugged . Is this normal?

[@skyywalker21]

It shows exactly what you asked in the video 😮

[@kimkrumwiede7449]

What’s the warranty on it

[@marklola12]

12 months i think

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

It has a 1 year Limited Warranty from the date of purchase. It states that Warranty service is available when there's a malfunction in normal use during the warranty period. Proof of purchase is required.

[@marklola12]

that sub tote you made the bottom writing is faint where there was not enough pressure..this machine has issues applying pressure to items that have raised sections like the bottom of that bag...you should really mention this on camera instead of making out like it was perfect lol

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

Gosh you have super good eyes ! I had to go back and really look hard at the results to see a slight fading on the very bottom edge of the words on the tote. It wasn't because of the heat press not having enough pressure. I attribute that mostly to two things I could have done to make it better...1) I didn't use heat transfer tape to hold the image down and I know that gives better results AND 2) I left the tote bag bottom folded in and not pulled out which created a slight lump there that could prevent any press from getting even heat in that area. Good News though ! I did another test on a tote using the adjustments I just mentioned and it pressed 100% perfectly. I will definitely mention those tips in my next video. Thank you so much for leaving comments so we can all learn more about this NEW HTVRont Automatic Heat Press.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

I have also seen many reviews on the Cricut Autopress having the same issue of not enough pressure on certain items. I am favoring the swing away design, I just wish I could find one with a pull Out drawer for a 12x15 size. Unfortunately, I am thinking it is only available on the larger units.

[@lisawarren7553]

What’s your KZbin channel. I would like to get this, but need to see your perfect demonstration. Thanks a bunch

[@marklola12]

the bottom pad on these is really poor quality, it actually has a piece of cardboard inside it which makes it alter shape and stay that way when you press certain items too. no idea why they put card board inside but pretty sure its because they know they messed up having so small gap from bottom to the top of the platen so they needed to make a thin as possible base mat. Most new heat press machines now are coming with way better silica gel and teflon mats so you never have the horrid smell of the silicone ones of older machines

[@DebbieONealSMQD]

I have reached out to HTVront to ask about the pressing pad as I do not know what is inside of it. But I do know that it is removeable so if someone doesn't like the pad, they could put another there instead.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

@@DebbieONealSMQD I just saw a video this week that a crafter cut open the pad casing and marklola12 is correct the reflective cardboard piece is thin and it warps/wrinkles over time which can interfere with project outcome. Yes the pad can be replaced and should be. I have a mini swing away and I have been researching to see the best machine to upgrade to for size and space. Thank you for your review❤

[@gaidenyer4619]

@@lynnebizlyne436 I have just bought this HTVRont heat press. I read that the mat has cardboard inside, I read that you can turn the mat over and put the other side on top, so the cardboard side is on bottom or a lot of people are buying silicone mats to put on the base instead of the mat that it comes with. I also have a large heat press mat that I can put under this if I need extra pressure or in place of the mat that came with it.
