HTVRONT Auto Tumbler Heat Press Review with Mugs and Tumblers

[@Cricuter]

You're supposed to place the mug in the center where the little mug and arrow is. Then it won't close all crooked. If you have 2 mugs in at a time it will still be level. Only one mug, always in the center.

[@AngieHolden]

I mentioned that in the video but I was saying if you have something that has a lip on it that can't go in the center, you won't be able to do just one.

[@janemack1181]

couldn’t you then just put in a blank to make it even?

[@cdstark116]

I have this tumbler press plus an oven for anything it can't handle, works well for me. Good review!

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@soniar3051]

Thanks I appreciate your honest review on this product. It helps deciding what kind of machine we want especially if you're on a budget and can only invest in one machine. As always you did a fantastic job explaining the pros and cons.

[@AngieHolden]

Thank you for watching!

[@tinatomassetti4507]

Thanks for this video, it came at the perfect time. I have been looking at this press, and now see the restrictions and challenges. I have a Vevor Mug Press, and I love it. I have used it for tapered tumblers, from using your instructions on a previous video. I think I'll stick to this for now.

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome!

[@helensonnichsen1173]

I love mine! Just use for mugs and works great.

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome!

[@andrewwilliams2193]

I just bought the Vevor auto tumbler press, which is similar to this one, but for a lot less. I already have the Cricut mug press, so I would use that for mugs and the tumbler press for the tumblers. I do intend to eventually get the sublimation oven and I was looking at the PYD one, so that I can do mugs or tumblers with handles and get the full pattern all around. I looked at the video where you did that and I was sold.

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome!

[@lynnenc]

I just got the vevor tumbler press for Christmas but have not used it yet. Do you like it? I was told that you don't have to rotate the tumbler in it. Is that true? So excited to try mine but waiting for my sub tumblers to come in.

[@MillieSBrown]

Great review! I hope to purchase one in the very near future! I am mainly getting it for the straight skinny tumblers! I a!so like that you can do two mugs at the same time! Thanks again! I am very new to sublimation! Just converted and set up my printer this wee! I am ready to sublimation everything!!!!!

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@angelprice3813]

I returned mine after 2 days and bought the PYD Life Tumbler press, which I love!

[@edisondairo3618]

same returned after 2 days. all mugs came out blurry on top/bottom

[@AngieHolden]

Yea I definitely like my PYD life one better!

[@mavdj7177]

Why?

[@angelprice3813]

@@mavdj7177 Could not get a single good press on a tumbler and NONE of my mugs fit.

[@kcurrier32]

I have the HTVRont auto press and it does make the same noise the tumbler does after fully pressing every time I use it. I believe that is just how it creates the added pressure.

[@AngieHolden]

It is SO scary!!!

[@christinaschuricht8506]

Tysvm for asking and answering with the link too. ..I had the same question lol

[@helenbroadbridge513]

Thankyou

[@CrackedSociety]

I wonder if you could sublimate a funnel cafe mug evenly? Or whatever they’re called, the mugs that go wide to narrow on the bottom.

[@AngieHolden]

I didn't have luck with anything except straight sided.

[@rosalynvfrazier]

Didn't like this machine and went back to my sublimation oven. Always got ghosting and it wasn't my taping method since the oven approach worked well. Customer service with this company is subpar. Interested in trying the GO2CRAFT vertical mug press to see if that is a good option.

[@AngieHolden]

My guess is it is similar to this one.

[@rosalynvfrazier]

@@AngieHolden Actually I just purchased it and made 2 tumblers last night and thought it was a much better product. Perhaps you can do a video on htat one since there has been so much negativity on the HTV Ront version

[@akarph]

This is a starter press for me because I do enjoy the glitter, vinyl, painting, etc. What I want to know is if you've tried a 30oz skinny straight tumbler?

[@CraftwithAnn525]

I love everything about this video thanks for taking your time

[@AngieHolden]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@peppermintoccassions5170]

This why i follow you. Your honesty thanks

[@lyndahollins2881]

I just made 2 tumblers for the very first time, using the htvront auto press, both of them I have a seam mark, I overlapped about 1cm. what can I do the ovoid that?

[@DaveWaters-v7p]

Hello, hopefully you can advise and help, I have just used a Loklik Auto Mug Press with a HTVRONT 11OZ Mug, and used the recommended settings being 400F and 120 Seconds, the finished mug was terrible. So, would it be possible for anyone to help and advise me what settings are likely to work and anything else that might help. Thank you

[@AngieHolden]

Generally a mug is a longer time in a press. Generally it is closer to 5 minutes.

[@stevecroisetiere4609]

Hello Angie, great videos thank you! However i just tried to transfer on a 20 oZ tumbler but the design didnt transfer at all of. My tumbler :( im having a epson ecotank printer, a htvront auto tumbler heat press. Using 125g sublimation paper. I put 390 F for 120 sec . Then waited maybe 5 min before unwrapping the tumbler. And surprise ! Nothing got transfered Loll so i thougth to ask advise to an expert Loll btw I apology if my typing is bad , blâme on my damn iPhone frenchy corrector lolll

[@AngieHolden]

Did you print with sublimation ink? Does the tumbler have a sublimation coating? Both of those things need to be right to get a transfer.

[@jenniferhardwick4485]

When the press closed on the first Tumbler it appeared that the press was making the paper even tighter and causing it to wrinkle or lift away from the mug on the top. Was that just an optical illusion or was the press actually tightening the sublimation paper more and causing it to wrinkle?

[@AngieHolden]

It didn't wrinkle that I noticed at least on the final project!

[@vickiesilverman3288]

I wish I would’ve seen this before I bought this because I would have purchased the machine you mentioned that you is more versatile. They have a terrible return policy too.

[@AngieHolden]

Yea it is definitely not as versatile!

[@TamareLove]

This is me! I am so mad at myself because I bought the machine and didn’t open it for weeks and by the time I opened it and started pressing tumblers I realized about a dozen tumblers too late that the auto press just isn’t the best for tumblers. The seems never came out right. I have a PYD Life press as well and it never fails me! I should’ve just stuck to what I know. I will say the HTVRont works great on my mugs!

[@reneedumaresq8865]

I just bought one of these machines and I was wondering how you put your photos/artwork on the paper for it to be able to print onto the mug? please I very much need to know if anyone knows please help

[@AngieHolden]

I print on a sublimation printer with sublimation ink.

[@MsTish424]

Is there a specific time and temperature to enter on these machines if you are sublimating mostly black tumblers? I know those are different from other colors.

[@AngieHolden]

Each tumbler will actually be different. Check where you purchase your tumblers for their recommendations.

[@rosemartin6505]

I have the hardest time with mostly black tumblers. Let me know if you've mastered that technique as I've given up.

[@asimpson9295]

How did you feel about the electrical cord? I thought it should have been heftier. Similar to a cricut mug press

[@AngieHolden]

I was fine with it.

[@myrawhite9138]

I was just wondering what I did wrong with my tumbler. I used the same print on a shirt and the tumbler. The shirt came out so nice and vibrant, however, the tumbler print was not as vibrant. What could be the problem? Love watching your videos.

[@AngieHolden]

Sometimes you do need different print settings for different types of blanks. Then you may check your press time and temperature as it depends on the blank that you use.

[@joannealton6041]

This is the best video for this product. You answered all the questions I had, like can I put two mugs in or how big of an item can I put in the press.

[@AngieHolden]

Glad you liked it!

[@TheGourmetGoddess_85]

What measurement was used for the pyd life tumbler

[@AngieHolden]

Sorry not sure! I measure each time!

[@latriciayoung3283]

The machine seems to be OK but my cricut mugs do not fit in it

[@TamareLove]

Mine HTVRont press keep ghosting where the seams are...I have wasted so many tumblers trying to use this machine, but yours seemed to turn out seamless? How do you get that? That doesn't happen much with my PYD LIfe tumbler press. I really wanted to love this machine...

[@brittanypugh6327]

New to sublimation and interested in buying either a tumbler press or sublimation oven. I heard you recommended PYD life. Would you recommend that brand for their sublimation oven also? Also do you prefer the press over the oven (to do other projects also)? Thank you! 😊

[@edisondairo3618]

i just went for a "Oster" brand oven and a oven thermometer to put inside and double check the temperature before i put the mugs in. same results as a PYD oven and costs 1/3 the price.

[@AngieHolden]

I would recommend PYD life for both. I like the press but the oven is the budget choice if you are not doing much sublimation.

[@stellarosecupstreasures9686]

How long is the heating element? Or what is the tallest a tumbler can be to fit from top to bottom?

[@AngieHolden]

I think it is a little over 10 inches.

[@MarilynNash-n2r]

what do you recommend for larger tumblers

[@AngieHolden]

Depends on the tumbler and the shape!

[@suzanneanglum1855]

Does the sublimation / mug press process result in a dishwasher safe mug?

[@AngieHolden]

Sublimation mugs are dishwasher safe. But top rack only and no high heat cycles.

[@dianarodmos851]

Help! My colors look horrible my black is brown What am I doing wrong?

[@AngieHolden]

A brown black indicates that you are cooking it too long. So too much heat or too much time.

[@shashacruz2611]

What size mug did you use?? What time & temp did u use for the veramic mugs??

[@AngieHolden]

I used a 15 oz mug. I would use the time and temperature recommended wherever you purchase your mugs.

[@brettmaxwell1360]

Is it a cold or hot peel for glass jars ?, I did my first glass in this machine, but some of the stayed on in some places ?

[@AngieHolden]

I hot peel almost everything sublimation.

@@AngieHolden Thanks Angie, I did my first Glass Jar with the recommended Heat & time setting, but some paper got stuck on the glass in some places. I have just purchased the htvront tumbler press a couple days ago. thankyou for the video

Does the press have a bad smell like others? I have to use mine outside because the smell is so bad.

They all have a bad small especially when you first get them.

I want one

[@Angelitaasmr]

Does this one smell like the others

[@AngieHolden]

All heat presses have a smell.

[@Angelitaasmr]

Can we do something to stop the awful fish smell? I know it's toxic to smell it I've turned on the fan opened a window it makes me sick.

​@@AngieHolden how can we clean it, someone said before you can clean it.

This machine was okay. It was not my favorite but it was an okay heat press.

[@dbrimmage237]

I just bought this unit. Regretfully, it will not accept the Cricut 15oz mug.

I used it for those mugs. It is a tight fit but it worked.

Walmart showing $159.99

[@AngieHolden]

Sorry not sure on pricing.

[@lu.kreativ_backup]

I would love to know if it would work with white toner or DTF. Didn't test it yet. ☺️🩷

[@edisondairo3618]

there is a new tech that is better than DTF. Search for FTS on youtube, videos in spanish. Advantage is that the white dye is not in the ink, but in the DTF powder. It uses paper instead of plastic to print. No more printhead clogs!

[@lu.kreativ_backup]

@@edisondairo3618 thanks a lot, I got a white toner printer today and didn't test yet, if the pressure of the HTVRONT mug press is enough for white toner transfers.

[@AngieHolden]

DTF does not work well on mugs/tumblers. You could use with white toner.

[@lu.kreativ_backup]

No my question was, if the auto tumbler press would word with white toner prints ☺️🩷

Fantastic video. Thank you!
