UNBOX AND REVIEW OF THE HTVRONT AUTO HEAT PRESS MACHINE

[@designerfrogsoaps]

I've been using this machine since it first came out. I've done many DTF transfers with it and they come out great. I love this machine!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Awesome!! That's great to hear!!

[@nbjones06]

I just got the machine. Try doing dtf and it would not press and release

[@ikoilk]

Hi, I just ordered this machine, I am a bit worried that I have seen negative feedbacks. How is your machine like now? Are they working well?

[@designerfrogsoaps]

@@ikoilk The machine is still one of my favorites! I hope you will love it as much as I do!

[@jaygeewin]

The only comment I needed to read before making my order. Lol.

[@mariet6805]

I bought mine and opened it up a week ago, going to be using it for the first time so this video was great. Mine did have a piece of the plastic broken on the very front left side of the drawer slide which doesn't effect the workings of it but was really disappointing when I opened it up as the two boxes that it was inside of weren't damaged at all so I'm guessing it happened in the warehouse. But what I noticed trying to put a T-shirt on their was I could hardly slide the drawer in? I haven't turned it on yet but I hope it lifts up a little bit when I turn it on so I can do thicker items like sweatshirts. Update works great and as soon as I turned it on it lifted up but I had to replace the mat after about twenty presses as it wrinkled badly.

[@vincentferrari]

DTF transfers are not a problem. I’ve literally done dozens of them with this press and it’s perfect every time.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Good to hear!!!

[@thedecadentdog5992]

We loved this press when we first received it in January 2023. We only use it moderately (less than 6 items pressed per use per month). Now it is August 2023 and it will not close. It heats up perfectly but when we try to press it closes and pops right back open and the controls start blinking. It has also started making a grinding noise. I contacted warranty support as the press is under warranty, they responded requesting videos of the problems, we emailed videos back, they responded with they couldn't open the videos (they are too stupid to download them and use a player to view them), we uploaded the videos to our you tube channel (cause everyone has one of those) and sent them the links....There response was to give them significant time to troubleshoot the problem and they would get back to me. I’m sure enough time for my warranty to expire. I asked them point blank to honor their warranty and replace the press…Crickets!!!! Others here have complained about these same issues in the reviews. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY!!! I'll update this review if something changes.

[@zahrabdeiri8684]

Has anything happened yet?

[@thedecadentdog5992]

@@zahrabdeiri8684 Update, After I sent an email to Amazon warranty support they FINALLY after weeks of back and forth agreed to honor their warranty. We had to send our press back to them (thank God we had the original box and packaging) and then after prompting them with proof (tracking) that they had received it, they sent us a new press two weeks later. The whole process from start to finish lasted over 6 weeks. I don't believe they would have honored their warranty if we had not contacted Amazon. Given all of this I would definitely not recommend this press as your primary press as I don't know any businesses that could operate for 6 weeks without a primary piece of equipment.

[@turtleysouthern2830]

I’m having the same issues w/ customer support. I added a 2nd pressing pillow to mine and no matter what I do none of my vinyl will stick to t-shirts or can coolers. I’m having to press 150 coolers and 20 shirts with my easy press before my son’s wedding and another wedding party. I got mine the middle of last month.

[@anissagilmore]

Any luck getting this resolved? I was thinking of ordering but don't want to if they won't honor the warranty.

[@emz2913]

how the unit as of this moment?

[@RochelleRochelleRochelle]

I just got mine last week and I LOVE it compared to the offbrand one I was using.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

So exciting!! I’m loving it and super impressed with it so far! ❤

[@lorrainefox6774]

I bought this autopress last year and I absolutely love it.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

That’s great to hear! Im loving it so far!

[@rosecowan1556]

How does the heat press work just to heat sublimation prints without closing it?

[@LifeChangingWealth]

What printer and paper do you use to print the graphics? Is it a special printer? I'm new to this.

[@MirrorImageOfYou]

Hello. Thank you for this awesome tutorial and great comments. Can anyone tell me if this heat press can work on corrugated cardboard boxes? Thank you

[@marthaalvarez214]

I love my HTV Ront I have never had an issue with sublimation or DTF. Used it many times.

[@rhondathomas6773]

I JUST ORDERED MINE, IT SHOULD BE HERE BY OCT 2ND. HOPEFULLY BEFORE THAT DAY. I WAS HURT ON THE JOB SO I CAN'T PULL DOWN ON MY MAIN HEAT PRESS, 16X20. THIS WILL WORK AS A BACK UP.

[@Inaajakmakan]

Hi hello, the latest i know is for dtf printing we still need to spread dtf powder and after that we send the paper to oven to "cook" the printing. After this two step we can heat press the material. If im not mistaken , i dont see those two steps in your video. So with this technology we can skip the powder and "cooking" process? Please advice. Cheers from Indonesia 😊

[@lorrainefox6774]

I found this on Amazon last year and bought it. It works great and I love it. I highly recommend it. Makes it so much more fun to craft and use the iron on vinyl..

[@rhondathomas6773]

I JUST ORDERED MINE FROM EBAY NEW, CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT BY OCT 2ND. HOPEFULLY BEFORE THAT DAY. I WAS HURT ON THE JOB I CAN'T PULL DOWN BECAUSE IT HURTS, THIS MACHINE IS PERFECT.

[@lizmiller2341]

Enjoyed your review. At this point which one of your heat presses do you use the most? Your Htvront or manual clamshell?

[@KimberlyAnderson-w4k]

I literally just unboxed my heat press and I can’t wait to get started.

[@tamaramarshall7762]

What machine do you use to print your sublimation?

[@dreaRibera]

Do they come with a mat already or do I have to purchase

[@rhondalovett8538]

I just got my new heat press today and used it it was pretty easy to do however when I was done using it the numbers in the little screen all went off but the start light keeps flashing does it never stop when it’s turned off how do I know when it’s actually off and I’m done for the day

[@yazicrafter]

Kayla, I have a question. Why does my HTVRONT auto Press on off light keep blinking? I’m sure I’m doing something wrong to trigger this problem.

[@aiyonova]

What do I need to print out my designs to print on t shirts? Is there a specific software ? Thanks

[@savaiianteine1]

I wonder if you can use it for hoodies

[@bbest8]

So Lucky! I'd love to get that press from HTVRONT! That auto heat press looks so cool!

[@rhondathomas6773]

I JUST ORDERD MINE NEW OFF EBAY, NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH EBAY. I DONE AN OFFER $196.00 THE SELLER LET ME HAVE IT. PAY PAL ALLOWED ME TO GET IT FOR $66.70 IN 4 PAYMENTS. I'M HAPPY WITH THAT. I COULD HAVE PAID IT IN FULL BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN, I ALWAYS LOOK AT THE OBVIOUS. IT'S ALL GOOD WHAT I DID.

[@venorajones8898]

Is there a trick to shutting it off? My light continues blinking and I have to unplug each time.

[@rhondalovett8538]

I had the same question did you ever get an answer to this

[@LeksOcsio]

What type of paper and printer did you use to print your design for the sublimation?

Does those numbers always blink? Is that normal?

Kayla what table are you using? I love it! I have this heat press and it’s worked super well for me

[@darlinjo72]

I was admiring the table too!😅

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Sorry for the late response! It's a utility cart from IKEA. Here's the link to it: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/bror-utility-cart-white-00452619/#content I also bought one of IKEA's tabletops on top of it. My husband used loctite glue to glue the tabletop to the cart. It just made it a little bigger to hold more. Here's the link to the tabletop: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lagkapten-tabletop-white-10460666/#content I've been using it for my heat press for 2 years now and it's worked great! :)

[@delmekiablack3271]

may i ask what printer you use for sublimation? ALso, any tips. mine never look that vibrant.

[@shirleybaker5115]

I love this machine with the exception that you can't turn it off. The light will continue to blink once you turn it on the very first time. If someone discovers a way to turn the blinking light off please post it so everyone will know. The machine is great other than that!!!

[@starbrown3367]

Great review looks nice and easy to operate.

[@nooel85]

Can you use iron on vinyl with this as well??

[@giavcat]

I just got my heat press, but whenever it lifts up after the press, I find that it's quite shakey. I'm not sure if this is normal or mine is defective.

[@renzlyvizcarra8700]

What is your printer?

[@Purebeachlove]

Did you do a video review of the hpn Mpress?

[@michelleobie4674]

Do you have to do the shirt backwards?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Yes, I found it easier to press with the shirt going to the opposite direction. I felt like it gave me more room to work with it lol

[@christylovecrafts]

Really like the machine! It's really a good helper when doing crafts!

[@gregoryhoward5811]

Where did you get your table?

[@tamikonesbitt3583]

Is it OK to leave the auto press plugged in, or is it best to unplug it when not in use?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I would unplug it when it isn't in use.

[@jeannettes.riddick6368]

how do I get a temperature cheat sheet; I want to use htvront to subliminate metal business cards

[@Tennessee_whiskey]

I tried to buy it. Spent almost $300 and it was supposedly delivered today. What was delivered was a 5x5 package with a vinyl collector weeding tool using same tracking number as the heat press. Unfortunately after 4 emails, still no response from the company.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I'm using a Cricut shirt here. It is 95 percent polyester which is what makes the sublimation ink so vibrant. I feel like it can be hard to find shirts that have that high of a polyester count. lol

Is it a three prong or two prong plug for USA version? Heard some people hurt some people ordered this and got a 2-prong plug when we normally get 3-prong plugs for heat pressers

[@carollewis1644]

I bought this machine a few months ago. Within a day of using it, the machine kept beeping and the timer stopped counting down. I tried contacting the company via email twice and also by phone and never received a response. Fortunately, I purchased it through Amazon and I was within my 30 return period so I did return it. I read about another individual that had a problem with his machine and also could not get a response from the company so he was out of luck. I would rather spend a little more on a machine and have great customer service and support.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Oh no!!! :( that's awful! I haven't had any troubles with mine but sad to hear the customer support is not responding to this!

[@gregoryburkhead7813]

Great video ..

[@cleocatraa]

How do you do the sublimation transfers? Is there a certain kind of transfer that you print the design on for it to do this? If that’s the case, do you need a particular kind of printer? I have an HP Inkjet but wasn’t sure if that would work at all.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

For sublimation you need a specific sublimation printer with sublimation ink. The printers are expensive, so I bought an Epson EcoTank, and instead of adding the inkjet to it, I added sublimation ink. I have a video showing how I did it. Here's the link for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ-XoHxsoql1mas

[@cleocatraa]

@@KaylasCricutCreations thank you so much! I’ll give the video a watch. I really appreciate it! :)

[@d3219903]

Has anyone tried puff vinyl on this machine? Wondering if it has enough pressure for puff!!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I gave puff vinyl a try on the auto press, and it wasn't as puffy or smooth as my heat press. I've seen a lot of people on TikTok using puff with the auto press, and theirs turns out great. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong! lol

[@ayananicholas3998]

Try using an extra pillow for more pressure it gives it more force

[@sandreawhite7534]

They lost a customer when you said you have to flip it upside down. I won’t purchase it now.
