HEAT PRESS - 16x20 vs 15x15

[@StarrmasiaBonny]

You truly helped me out because I was going to just buy both!!!..im just starting out and have a limited budget so thank you you helped me out Alot!

[@dayum1gurl]

That was some awesome advice regarding not sizing the design larger for 3X and how it will fit on the body. I’ve been doing shirts for some years now and I hadn’t considered that . Thanks for the tips 🙏🏽

[@prez3591]

I think it can matter. Test it out for yourself

[@ron_ssi]

When you mention pressing it piece by piece for a larger print on a 15x15, do you mean cut the vinyl into lets say in half? Press top half, peel, press bottom half, peel OR its still 1 vinyl sheet but press top half, slide up the shirt, press bottom half, peel all at once at the end? Is it safe to double press top? Hope the question makes sense. Thanks for your content. New subscriber! 👊😎

I got my 15x15 HPN SS because of your video and love the decision i've made. The info you give is real user info. I thought the 15x15 was gonna be small but after watching one of your videos and after receiving mines, im glad I went with the 15x15 with the slideout! Also congrats on the 100k youtube plaque. #realtalkbrandoh #keepupthe100

[@leviteapparel]

This is good information I have 3 represents my 12 by 15 has always served me prints usually not larger than that. I recently upgraded to a 15 by 15 it's been working great it's almost like my 12 by 15. However when it comes to my 3rd heat press 16 by 20 the amount of power to heat it is a lot I have to Turn off certain things in order to let it work or it will power down circuit break . Good info and hopefully this helped also

[@taherrahn]

You just open my eyes, this was my thinking, thank you

[@manalosmeanbusiness]

What I always appreciate in your videos is a hidden message. You don’t always have to buy the newest and most expensive equipment! You have been using those magnet clips for a HOT minute! Lol and now got those Teflon covers! I appreciate everything you do! 🤙🏽

[@joelclark481]

I am loving my HPN SS 15x15 with slide out drawer as well.. I got it after watching your video after my Tusy 15x15 went out but it paid for itself like 50xs more.. Appreciate your videos.

[@eRosasProduction]

I was considering the 15x15 as a starter but listening to you now I think I’ll go for the 16x20. Don’t want to miss out on jobs (even if just a few) because of transfer size. Are there any pros/cons of choosing either?

[@cdnelson7291]

👍👏👏👏 You always make it simple and straight to the point. We appreciate you

[@marksimmons5839]

Hey Brandoh How are you? I'm noticing videos regarding DTF printers being a game changer. I was wondering what you thought about them.

[@BigBrandoh]

hit the youtube search bar with "big brandoh dtf" i got vids talkin about it.

[@marksimmons5839]

@@BigBrandoh Thanks Brandoh, will do!

[@dhanishdnz7674]

Thank you bro. I need 16x20, I was thinking to buy 15x15. But this video change my mind

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watchin

[@canyonboy253]

How do you make sure the logos are centered perfectly? Does the HPN have some kinda mechanism? Or are u straight eye ballin

[@BigBrandoh]

eye ball. hit the youtube search bar with "Big Brandoh laying down transfers" you'll see the technique i use.

[@MarcoandMiyo]

Does heatpress nation have sleeve platens on the 16x20 presses ? If not how do you print on sleeves with no platen ?

[@lisaesquivel3332]

Hello I’m new here. Hopefully you see my question. I’ve been watching many videos you have and I bought heat press nation heat press. I even did a DBA. Thank you for your videos and knowledge. What is on your heat press at the top of the clam? If that makes sense.

[@BigBrandoh]

i have a non stick cover made by heat press nation on my heat press. its like a teflon sheet that fits over the top like a bed sheet. i use it whenever i use a film type of transfer. the film backing under the heat creates static. i use the non stick cover to buffer out the static. thats all.

[@rctoyguy]

I gotta have a swing away press - planning 16x24 but can’t decide between HPN Signature and Transpro Plus. Thoughts?

[@BigBrandoh]

i know nothing about trans press. i can 100% back HPN signature series presses because i been using them way before i jumped on youtube. i know they work and they last. durability and consistency is everything to me.

[@NONE2NONE]

Quick question from amateur. If the design on artwork is only 12 inches across, but it sits on the bottom/back/skirt of a shirt, will you need the 16x20 ? Or would you just load the shirt backwards to get print on correctly?

[@BigBrandoh]

16x20 is not needed. you load the shirt where ever you plan to press the design on.

[@TimBalajadiamusic]

Hafa Adai bro! I’m just getting started what is that exact model of the 15x15

[@DARKHORSEDESCENDANT520]

shirt looks a lil crooked maybe from pressing on 15x15?

[@uniquedivas]

Hi Big Brando thank you for all your knowledge and sharing with us. You're in inspiration for me as in starting out with my own clothes line mainly shirts & hoodies. Can you suggest what brands to buy that are good quality but yet not so expensive? Or are the gilden/fruit of the loom/Hanes 100% cotton work too? Thanks and God Bless

[@BigBrandoh]

hard to say because its more than just price. its also, cut, fit, feel, availability, color offerings, washability, hood size, pocket size, sleeve length etc... when buying blanks, its all a personal preference. if you dont care about fit and feel etc.. and just price is the only factor. any blank will do. but if you have a good idea on what you want to offer your customers, than it makes it easier for you to find what you are looking for. you can try gildan, hanes, bella, pro club, next level, american apparel, smart, delta, omni, shaka. those all have different price ranges, fits and feels.

[@johndioe7710]

I heard you mention you do for motorcycle clubs I am currently about to start doing for my club support and club shirts and looking into buying white toner printer on transfer have you ever used that and what heat press would you suggest thanks

[@BigBrandoh]

i recommend the 16x20 HPN press shown in this vid. i dont use white toner printers or transfers. i order screen printed transfers. i got links in the description box. 16x20 is good for Mc shirts for large soft patches on the back. 15x15 is a little small for full patches.

[@kobesreptiles9864]

Nice video, do you have a video on how and what kind of printer you have and Material you use? Can you send me the video

[@derricksaunders5280]

Thanks I was wondering if I needed to buy bigger transfers.

[@craziedae]

I knew you were a real one right about the 1:50 mark ✌🏾

[@jovanicuba4451]

Quick question I have a 16x24 what Teflon sheet or heating paper should I use?

[@BigBrandoh]

any teflon sheet will work. find'em on amazon in like a 3 pack for cheap. just make sure you buy a size that covers your press size

[@jovanicuba4451]

@@BigBrandoh I know this is a dumb question but I was gifted this 16x24 hpn hest press but can I still use this press for shirts or is this over kill?

[@BigBrandoh]

@@jovanicuba4451 yes you can use that press for t shirts. any press will work. but you just gotta get started and start pressing shirts.

[@Plusultraphoto]

I got the 15x15 hpn and I just got the 16x20 hotronix and I’m torn. I love the drawer slide on the hpn but I prefer the threadability on the hotronix. I wish the hpn had a stand like hotronix

[@BigBrandoh]

i feel you. i never thread any of my shirts. my hpn 15x15 signature press is threadable but i never do it.

[@chrisbaker7583]

What about surepressure? Is it necessary?

[@BigBrandoh]

not necessary but it is nice to have. if you plan on pressing a lot of shirts and hoodies, there is a benefit to having it. but if you wont be switching between hoodies and t shirts often then it wont help you much. its visual indicator on what the pressure setting is. thats all.

[@chrisbaker7583]

@@BigBrandoh appreciate the reply! Was sweating over it because the only available 16x20 presses on HPN with sure pressure didn’t have auto open or slide out, but we’re $150 more than the press with both features but no SP. I’ll probably just go without the SP for now. Again, I appreciate the response! Love the channel.

You are a very smart man! Thank you for sharing all your insights about the tshirt business.

[@blancobronco1346]

If you have an embroidery machine and heat press and hat press, do you need to run different computers for all of them ?

[@BigBrandoh]

none of the machines are connected to a computer. i have one computer i do all my designs on/ print shipping labels/ edit videos on/ watch youtube videos on etc... but its not connected to any machine.

[@blancobronco1346]

Ok. So you just need to store the designs? Correct? I’m going to buy the heat press you got as well. I’m gonna go buy a LaCie 5T external hard drive for my mac book pro that I have already. Is that a good size?

[@mhbarillas9187]

What's the best 16x20 that is threadable?, besides geo knight

[@YourTioTravels]

Is there any issues pressing in pieces if you have a 15×15? I already have a 15×15 already but I like big designs. Should I invest in a larger press? I really don't press alot so I'm thinking doing in pieces is ok. Can you do a video about pressing large designs on the 15×15?

[@roseary9198]

Wanna know as well.

[@katherinej51679]

I have done it before and had about 50% success rate. For me it was very dependent on the temperature. If I’m using vinyl, I prefer stretch vinyl for the matte finish but it needs to be pressed hotter. It caused a visible line in the actual design that I could not press away. Probably took me a good 3-4 times To figure out why it was happening. When I used printable HTV for opaque shirts, the line didn’t happen. That’s just my experience.

[@RickRudey]

The fact that the 16x20 is bigger automatically wins.. not even a contest

[@BigBrandoh]

bigger isnt always better. i hate pressing hoodies on 16x20 cuz the kangaroo pocket always gets in the way. i like a smooth even pressing surface. i do all my hoodies on 15x15 cuz the pocket falls off the platen. on the 16x20 half of the pocket is still on the press.
