Thanks so much! This helped me put mine to use! Question: After I set the temp, and set the timer, am I supposed to wait until the temp gets to the set temp to put the garment in, then press start, close the lid and then wait until it counts down? Or can I put the garment in and the press start making the garment be under the heat while it’s warming up and then the additional Time at the right temp? Making the garment be under heat for longer that the set time while it’s heating up plus the time At the set temp?

[@LarryDMitchell]

Good video. I'm looking at this same machine primarily for some leatherette patches I'm engraving with my diode laser. The patches have adhesive on the back that is activated with the heat. I'm wondering if you have a video showing what printer and ink you are using to create the patterns? If I'm going to have the machine I might as well make some mugs and other items.

[@dean4781]

The intended use for that supplied screwdriver is for the screws to change out the heating attachment plates. If they supplied a larger Size 3 it would be too big for those small screws. The large spring bolts aren't made to be removed constantly so no need for them to supply a tool for it.

[@rogersshop]

True, but the supplied screwdriver is junk. A Size 3 was necessary to tighten the bolts that were loose upon unpacking. Factory mess up.

Thanks Roger, Vevor's vids had lots of missing info. Your links to the ink, paper and printer filled out all the blanks for me. Will check out the mug press, could be a way to make a little money in retirement.

I do primarily sublimation transfer. depending on the substrate, a starting point is 365 degrees F for 60 seconds on polyester fabrics.

Yes, it is a good entry level or hobby level machine. If you intend to do this full time, look for a professional unit.

[@sydneyheim5795]

Hi! I am new to heat presses and have been using this one for about a week. The 12X15 heat plate moves left and right too much making it hard to swivel to remove/put on a new tshirt. I’m not sure if that made sense but I was wondering if you know how to tighten it?

[@rogersshop]

Use the knob on the back of the column to tighten it up a bit.

[@Boss2uok1]

When the machine is heating up to the temperature that you set, should the top be up or down in the closed position? Makes sense for it to be down, but mine takes so long to heat up that I wondered if I might damage the mats.

[@rogersshop]

Over the bed, but not locked down is the way I do it.

[@Lifeispain411v2]

I just recently bought the 8 in 1 and pretty sure I'm going to have to warranty it. I didn't set it up until after the return date so that's on me but when I go to press, the support arm in the back seems to raise and only the back part of the plate will compress so really only one spring out of the 6 is being compressed. VEVOR isn't off to a great start with that straight out of the box.

[@rogersshop]

Is your press height set correctly?

[@rosavazquez4696]

To use it for sublimation on 20 oz skinny tumblers ? Have you use it on those, seems like it’s not big enough for those cups, or how do you do it, sorry I am new on this.

[@rogersshop]

No, not for skinny tumblers. That requires a different press. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5C7gmCsdquagKc or another brand. My "go-to" press is made by Heat Press Nation, but is $$$$.

[@MileyonDisney]

Great demonstration. I've seen a few mug presses, but I've never seen one with the soft guts loose like that. Was it broken or is it supposed to be that way?

[@rogersshop]

It is made this way and works fine. If you do a lot of mugs (like we do), Vevor has an automatic mug press, which is really slick and costs less than Cricut. We use it in production, even though it is not really made for that type of use.

There are lots of ink jet printers that work for this, but you MUST have sublimation ink. Regular ink jet ink will not work. Paper designed for sublimation will also give much better results than plain copy paper.

In my startup days I was turning the platen the wrong way and it hit the power cord melting the covering. it's fine and it still works, I've covered it with electrical tape but would really like to change it out.

I tried that and it does not work, or at least, isn't allowed. This was a trip for me since I'm old school and used to a set temp that holds and not a stand-by thing. Works just fine, but needs some mental adjustments in time and temp.
