Does anyone know if the swivel heat press is supposed to be kinda uneven looking (the actual top heat platen that's attached to the handle)... New to this but feel like maybe mine has an issue. I haven't used it to press anything yet.

@The dreamer flip inside out cold gentle low tumble dry. As far as printers the one I see recommend the most is an Epson but any printer you have will work just make sure the paper you use is compatible with the printer you have. Like inkjet heat transfers are for inkjet printers only

That is rubbish. You dont need all. Assess your business current need for example if your business specialize in newborn and baby only then the 7x7 is perfect why get a big 12 x 12 etc when all your business is focused on is newborn to baby. If your just starting and low on cash use iron on from paper on demand (ppd) and a regular $ 10 iron and your good as gold. Many businesses start with ppd and household iron and sold 0- 5t and made my profit after a year or so then upgraded only because their age range changed. Focus on your budget and target and choose one. Waste of money to get all and 99.9% your using only one.

I have two of the Easy Presses - the original one and the smallest one. While they both work great I still wanted a heat press with the attachments. Got one this week and love it! I can do a TShirt in less time as it doesn't take as many presses as the Easy Press does. I do appreciate the heat press video that you made and go back to it for reference on how to use the different attachments.

I think if your running a business and doing multiple T’shirts and fabrics at once then a heat press is the way to go. If your just an every day crafter than the easy press is the way to go because it’s easy shortage and your can take the easy press to friends or families houses and so and so forth. There’s pros and cons to everything really and it’s all down to personal preference.

I had the Easy Press until I purchased the Stahl’s Pink Heat Press ...took me all of about of about 2 hours to decide to give the Easy Press away. Can’t remember what the warranty on the Craft Press is, but the Stahl’s Heat Press has a lifetime warranty on the heating element and the adjustable pressure is so easy to set(just turn the dial) and you’re not standing over it all the time pressing down on it. It is a 9x12 and the heating elements go corner to corner so every inch of the space is the same temperature. I paid $299.00 for it and it was worth every penny!

So in order to get all of the jobs done, you have to have multiple EasyPresses -- thus obviating any price benefits of the EasyPress. The Heat Press seems to be the clear winner.

It would have been quite cumbersome to do a coffee mug with the 9x9 Easy Press and also cumbersome to do the T-shirts with the 6x9 Easypress. So I think you're right, you'd need to come anywhere near the functionality of a heat press. Heat press hands-down winner.

seems to me you liked the easypress so found reasons NOT to like the other one. the handle was hard to press down because you were standing behind it and using it backwards, it's heavy because it's not made to be portable, the easypress is a glorified iron the easypress is designed for crafting/home use, so occasional use (like said iron) the heat press is designed for business use so made to be on for longer. you did not HAVE to press everything at once on the heat press, you can press multiple times on a heat press

Bottom line. If you have the room, get a heat press. They are so much easier to use, have more working area, don't have to hold a big iron or apply pressure, and are quicker. If you don't have room for a heat press, then spend too much money on a big iron (the Easy Press) or use an iron!

I have both, and sure the easy press is good but as you clearly demonstrated the easy press can only be used on a clear plate. Heat presses are designed to do a professional job. I also think you need to get your electrical checked. You can get a heatpress that has attachments instead of using separate heatpresses. I have never had any of your issues with the heatpress, I do agree with what others have commented about. You prefer the easy press and was determined to find fault with a heatpress. It was interesting though to see that you could use the easy press to do those things.

First, using 65 poly will make things not quite as bright. Think of it this way, your ink only bonds with 65% of the fabric so you really only get 65% of the print. I would make sure that you have a matte paper setting, turn off fast printing, and turn on best quality.

Every product we created from the heat press, we will do a stretch proof to make sure the media and the product well done for long use. The product is for usage, not for display, especially doing tshirts, pressure and heat must be constant so that media can last long enough after wash. Well, hobby vs selling is a totally different thing. i think this is good for ironing cloth then doing press.

Heat press obviously the better choice for selling or just hobbying. One main reason is that when applying things to plates the heat press can do any color of plates since it is pressing to inside of plate. The other irons to the bottom back of plate which means you can only use clear plates with it. Also with mugs the easy press has to do multiple presses, Not to count heat press you dont have to hold it & guess at the pressure your putting. Sorry but space & versatility of the easy press dont outweigh the advantages of a heat press. I mean if your doing this kind of projects regularly whether to sell or just for a hobby you should have the space to do it & I'm sure your going to be doing most of it at home & not having to move it regularly.

Planet Gamz I agree with heat press, but would caution doing front of plate if it was going to have food on it. I have read this caution on other videos and chats.

@@AngieHolden the heat press isn't meant to be moves around allot and with all things considered the ez press wasn't no where close to the heat press , first if your going to compare have them do the same thing as with the plates with heat press you can do either side the front or back of the plane, the hat wasn't fair either because with the hat press you have a firm surface to out the hat on but with the ez press you was using a very soft and not stable pillow, the cup press what would the results be if you would have used a cup that that press was designed for, my guess is that it would have been allot faster because you wouldn't have had to keep repressing. In my own honest opinion these are both very great products when used in a manner that they were created for. PS with the heat press you are not supposed to plug it into a power strip and only extension cords that are 4 gauge if I'm not mistaken. Loved the video though because I enjoy learning new things

You're very biased against the heat press. You give negative points on the heat press. And glorify the easy press. A lift press only takes up the space if it's base. You choose a swing away which takes more area to use. Never use a extension cord or power strip. You might enjoy up with a fire. They both have their places depending on your needs. The heat press is far superior for a more professional use. Easy press is for the home crafter.

Crazy question but I'm new... why do mugs and plates need heat pressing? Can't you just do permanent vinyl and it stay so you can gift or sale...wash etc? Or does the heat press ensure it doesn't wash off? Please answer asap as I am trying to purchase today and unsure if need 5 in 1 or regular press. Thanks!!!

If you are going to do sublimation, you will need special mugs. I have a video coming on those soon. I have NOT done water slide decals yet. I prefer to use adhesive vinyl on my mugs cut on a Cricut. You can see more about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6rCZ6eKaM2Yg9k
