great new product, much better features than my cricut mini press. Ill be getting this and hopefully the new manual heat press comes out in a 16x20 size so i can buy that too. abolutely love this company, they pay attention to what their customers want and need. They listen to product feedback so their products get better and better. Great job HTVRONT Team

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

A 16 x 20 from HTV Ront would be great! Yes, I love their products too. From their sublimation paper to their presses.

[@Cee_Cee8]

@MakingwithMarilyn yeah I was dubious about trying their sublimation paper as I'm used to using A-sub brand but I have to say HTV Ront sublimation paper is great....

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@Cee_Cee8 it’s my go to paper

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

This is such a thorough tutorial. I'm going to try all of this.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you, Delonda!

[@lydiamorales7570]

Thank you for the tutorial, I finally had a tumbler with no ghosting.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. I know I use a lot of tape but it seems to work for me so I keep doing it:)

[@priscillagodina721]

Hi Marilyn. I don’t have a that type of heat tumbler press. I just love watching your videos. You’re a great teacher! 👍🏼

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Awww, thank you so much, Priscilla!

[@HeatherHunterJ]

I got an email offering a coupon and materials to take a back order, so I did... I am impatient but I like free more 😂 Thank you for showing everyone how great this will be Marilyn... I think.... just clicked play 🥰

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I heard you talk about that on either a video or a live. I think a live. I don't blame you one bit. I like a great deal!

[@emds698]

Thank you for this video. I totally agree with with the taping has a lot to do with the results. People talk about ghosting with this machine but then they don't tape enough in my opinion

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much for watching! My tumblers started coming out so much better once I started a better taping method than what I had been using.

[@MzChea]

Most thorough video I've seen

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank yo so much!

[@jenniferhaynes4102]

I definitely agree. Glad I found this

[@Teresa-L.2024]

The best demo I've seen on this tumbler press. I just bought the garment press and ordered the ecotank 3230 today. I'm primarily a sewer and quilter so looking to see what I can do with sublimation and fabrics, and flat objects to start with. The tumbler press looks like it works really well. Have you tried using a strip of shrink wrap around the top and bottom instead of tape...wondering if that might be easier for people who may have arthritis or dexterity issues. 🤔

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so so much! I haven't tried that, but if you can use shrink wrap in a press, it might just work.

[@redhawkbaygifts]

Thank you for this video! Made my first perfect tumbler using your methods and HTVRont Auto Tumbler Press! 🤓

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm so so glad to hear that!!! Thank you.

[@jennifercrouseproductions]

Thank you!! I have the tumbler press but have been messing around with times and temps and your time and temp has produced the best results!!! ❤️

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm so glad that the times and temps worked well for you!!! Thank you for your comment!

[@sharelgreen9698]

Hi Marilyn. I like the look and convenience of this auto tumbler press. I do sublimation tumblers but I do them in my French door convection oven that I keep in the garage. I’m thinking about getting one , then I can press tumblers in my craft room. That would be a game changer. 😊

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

That would be nice to be able to do them in your craft space. Tumblers are my favorite thing to sublimate. I just love them. When I started, I hated them b/c it took awhile to figure out what worked for me:)

[@marilynshepherd871]

Hello Marilyn. I was drawn to you because we share the same first name.🙂 I'm so glad I watched this! Although I'd watched others, I used your time and temperature and a close facsimile to your taping. I went with your placement of the seam while pressing, in front and in back instead of at top and at bottom. I also used the butcher paper as a cradle. My tumbler came out PERFECT! It was only my second time using the HTVRONT Tumbler Press. The first time was good, but your method is less work and better results. Thank you.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I’m so glad it was helpful! I seldomly meet other women named Marilyn🥰 Thanks for watching and leaving your comment.

[@deborahm7121]

Very nice Marilyn I have the HTVront tumbler press I love it. I’m glad I came across your video now I know why I had a little ghosting at the bottom taping is important. Thank you for sharing

Hi Marilyn, there are so many people making videos on KZbin so I have to say, I didn’t know about your channel, but I did find you when Patrice did her live with you, Eve and Delonda and you all did the bling video. Yes it was so good,I stayed up all night with you all. It was soooo much fun. I also ordered your Me vs Me template. I’m a htvront girl too. I love their sub paper, I have the their heat press machine and I’m waiting on the tumbler press to come in two days. So you don’t have to use shrink wrap paper with this tumbler? I have to say You four are my go to for everything craft. Thank you for sharing. Kraftykeyz85

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so so much for your very positive comment!!! I have only used shrink wrap when sublimating in an oven. I really love using the tumbler presses, but I am a big tape person:) I have gotten much better results by the way I end the tops and bottoms of the tumblers and how I tape them. I was very frustrated with my first few in the press that I wondered why I even got one. Now, it's the only way I sub them unless I want to show the oven method on a video.

[@carol-annridler3560]

Great vid! I’ll definitely try this process.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much, Carol!

[@olubukola7]

I ordered mine 3 weeks ago from HTVRont but it arrived with plug pin broken. I was so disappointed at the same time desperate to complete my first skinny cup tumblers. So I decided to replace the plug and get on with it. I found out that it had delay in turning on or setting button. The first tumbler was okay but the setting I used was the wrong setting so I went back to watch a video by HTVRONT which shows that timing is 240 seconds at 390 whiI did. This seems too hot as I noticed spot burning. In all, am okay with it but will have to look for another tumbler press by a different company sooner as us this one as a backup tumbler press

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! But I understand wanting to fix it yourself and get started on making your first tumblers.

[@YarelisDávila-g5r]

Can you do a tumbler with a whole black background?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@YarelisDávila-g5r so a solid back tumbler? If so, yes you can. when I first started submitting tumblers, I had several that didn’t turn out too well. So I would sublimate them solid black, and then use other media on them like vinyl.

[@brialo6016]

Like the video, if you scratch your tumbler a little can you put any kind of marker on it to cover the scratch Thanks

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I've never tried that, but it you do it, let us know if it works. Depending on the color, etc., I would worry that the marker might stick out more than the scratch, but I'm really not sure. Thanks so much for watching.

[@deloriswhite1309]

Very pretty

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

I just converted a printer and purchased the htvront tumbler press. I thought i could just use Design Space. can you do a tutorial on Inkscape. I am clueless and would love to see the process. I will search to see if anyone out there is doing tutorials. Thank you for sharing

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I think I have done a video on printing them but would be happy to do one again. I could focus more on the printing process. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@sarahmaerandall24]

Of all the auto tumbler presses or the 3 that you have reviewed what one do you like most?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I don't have a favorite among the auto presses, but I do prefer a manual press to an auto press since I can adjust the pressure. I have a bit of a control issue and I like to be able to control the pressure myself:)

[@camillelonewolf647]

Which side of the paper do you use with the paper because it doesnt tell me

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

If the paper you have doesn't have an obvious back side, the package should tell you which side is the print side. Since it apparently doesn't, I would print a small design on one side and try to sublimate it onto a very small piece of polyester fabric to see. Then I would mark the packaging with the print side. Good luck with this.

[@lyndabryant7390]

Nice job!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you!

[@TYJ419]

Nice …..the white at the bottom doesn’t bother me either. Rather have that then those pressure issues. Tracey

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

My exact thought! Thanks Tracey.

[@Nicole-j6f1r]

Please….. tell me what you use to print your own design? Is there an app?

I print from Inkscape because it’s free.

[@rafermocil959]

Is that the same process when it comes to mugs? Also using htvront

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I have not tried a ceramic mug in this press, but I have other presses. The ceramic mugs tends to take a bit longer b/c it takes the ceramic more time to heat up. They hold cold longer than the metal tumblers.

[@rafermocil959]

@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you for the response,, i tried sublimating mugs on htvront (full print), I taped the edges as well but still get ink smudges.. maybe you can do a video about mugs, too ? :)

What program did you use to print your design?

I almost always use Inkscape to print them.

[@marianneciovacco8565]

Do you have a link to the tumblers?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I don't have a link to these tumblers. I got them off of Alibaba a long time ago. I really prefer Realkant or Hiipoo tumblers better. I think they turn out a bit more vibrant. Let me know if you want a link to them. Thanks for watching!

[@judithrenaud7596]

Has anyone else get this sub paper jammed? I had to switch back to ASub for that reason, I have a converted Epson that gets jammed every time with this paper

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I love this paper, but I would not love it if my printer jammed with it. ASub is excellent too, so I'm glad your machine doesn't jam with it. Thank you for watching!

[@bren8309]

Where do you get your tumblers at?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I bought the tumbler used in the video off of Alibaba. However, I prefer other brands that I have gotten through Amazon. In particular, Hiipoo is a brand that I have used and really like. There is actually a $10 coupon on Amazon for these right now. amzn.to/3SbMsTN I've used a couple of other brands that were very good also, but I have mainly used these two brands.

[@lookwhoscrafty]

I don't think you need to rotate the tumblers.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

You might not have to but that's how I do it to get even pressure all around. Thanks for sharing.

[@nykeiii]

I have no idea why I’m still getting ghosting. I’m clearly doing something wrong

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

By ghosting, are you getting blurry double vision effects, or are you getting white spots where you should see the design?

[@nykeiii]

@@MakingwithMarilyn blurry double vision effects

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@nykeiii do you let the tumbler to cool off before removing the paper? Shifting of the paper while the tumbler is still very hot can cause that. Or if the paper isn’t real tight and then shifts under the pressure of the press can cause it.
