Hope your around when I get to Hawaii

Who ever gave this a thumbs down really need a hug this guy gives you the real no fancy edited video(just the real) with mistakes and real review no fake issh. Stay up bro.

[@HEARTBREAKPAPI]

I bought my 15x15 Sure Pressure Auto-Open HPN Pro before watching this and NOW I’m even more excited! 15+ hours of watching your other educational videos already had me committed to my purchase. Thank you for such a friendly, detailed, and inspiring review! Heat Press Nation should officially sponsor you!!!

[@StanBanks]

Appreciate that. I value my independence to much so idk if that full sponsorship is coming my way, but thanks.

[@kizzyGotiT]

So it’s been two years, how is it holding up? Any complaints?

[@theoreticallyknowledgeable7263]

Are you able to plug this heat press into a regular wall outlet, or do you need a specialized one because of the size?

[@chiniquastyles8433]

😂That beginning was everything!😂

I gave you a thumbs up for the smell test. That’s serious business right there.

Dangggg went to the heat press website and basically everything is sold 🙈 I feel like everyone is gonna have a t-shirt company now n days lol

But not everyone will put in the work and stand the test of time. Will that be you?

[@carrieelizabeth3203]

Still sold out 5 months later

They keep selling out lol

[@inkheadcustomz9712]

I just bought one on the 25th cause it said it was in stock coming to find out I got to wait a month to get it😔

[@StanBanks]

Sorry about that, but I’d be happy to be on the list.

[@TheMoodyedge]

My press was 2k, 20x15 inch and weights about 110 pounds. Made in England so I have customer assistance and parts if required. Built like a tank. Glad I went high end.

There is definitely a difference and you get what you pay for!

At moody edgier do you have info on where to order the press you have from England?

[@RadiantRose217]

My press just came yesterday and I’m looking at reviews to see if there was a way to turn the beeping off 😂. Other than that, well and that the countdown starts before it’s fully closed, I love the press.

[@StanBanks]

i would add an extra second for when the trigger is tripped.

[@ericcox4448]

About to get started. What is the best starter package. Just brought the Silhouette Cameo 4, now I’m on a search for a press. I seen a previous video of your a year ago. HPN 15 x 15 Craft Pro was your recommendation. Please help and give me a couple of options. Thanks new fan.

hello could you recommend another brand everytime i go to the site there sold out

[@jayrome8764]

The slide out platen, auto open & sure pressure features are MAJOR advantages over most heat presses. Just wish there was a stand that made it threadable like the hotronix models

[@StanBanks]

I’ll pass it along

[@jayrome8764]

@@StanBanksThat would make it the ultimate one time purchase for me. I'm definitely looking at this one. Pound for pound it's hitting hard

[@TimBellwebdesign]

Awesome video. I just received mine. The one question I have is loading a shirt. I had thought the shirt would slide on, but it looks like you just lay the shirt on and your looking at it upside down. Do you have issues with the backside of the shirt when laying it down (wrinkles) etc. You are awesome

[@Ginnyjones1]

I have the 16 x 24 with auto open. It was a killer to move. The timer is a little annoying. I love my press. I didn't know the pro was with that new feature. When I called before I ordered they didn't go into details about there press.

[@coyote208]

Did you figure out how to silence it? I can’t stand all that super loud beeping

[@Ginnyjones1]

@@coyote208 The beeping is ok. It doesn't bother me now. It just does it the last few seconds.

[@coyote208]

@@Ginnyjones1 it does it whenever I press the buttons lol but I figured it out! I popped the back plate off (6 screws) found the speaker by pressing buttons (looks like a small cylinder with little hole in middle) and took a hot glue gun and glued over the hole. Now it’s silent :)

[@FC-kw4mw]

My press arrived today already together and the counter was at 8 on initial powering- i think I just got sent a USED or refurbished product. It also says that extra arm is for the swing models only, but it did come with one, I’m so confused!

[@StanBanks]

Tested

[@StanBanks]

Imma check to make sure, I know I talked to them mine was in the first batch and they were supposed to come out together.

[@FC-kw4mw]

@@StanBanks it seems to be working fine so that’s good 😅I’m thinking they switched to it coming together since they did not provide tools to install, and rethought it lol. The manual didn’t instruct to put in on either so hopefully that’s just the new packaging🤞🏾. I appreciate your feedback!

[@HellsinkyNuminatiCeo]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just got a 15x15 for shirts. Is that a good size? Or should I have gotten a 16x20. What else do you use the 16x20 for

[@damiendillon5717]

What’s a good sure pressure setting for hoodies, I have the same press

[@StanBanks]

Sure pressure is more of a bookmark so press to press its going to be different.

[@shannonherb4370]

Thank you for posting video, very informative, I just purchased the 15X15, I’ve never used a heat press, wanting to start a tee shirt business, hoping that I purchased the right heat press, The one I wanted was $850. Automatic open pull out drawer, But this smaller one hopefully will pay for itself quickly, then I can upgrade! Thank you!

[@kizzyGotiT]

Do you enjoy it so far?

[@gayarnold9994]

is ocean printers a good co to buy a heat press from I know they are cheaper

[@thatonedude7070]

Im tryna figire out the same thing

[@Danielshorsemanship]

What are some alternatives to using Teflon paper? Not for the transfer but the paper that goes between the hot plate and the material.

[@StanBanks]

Parchment or craft paper.

[@Kid617]

That sure press add on is another $200 is it truly worth buying and how about getting there warranty

No I would just go auto open.

I keep coming back watching your videos wanting to start a tshirt business so bad 😂😂😂.I'm just on a budget so let me ask you this if I buy the heat press and the cameo 4 do I still need to buy a inkjet printer as well? I'm sure this is a crazy question but I'll rather ask then not 😂😂😂

[@creativetees735]

Ronisha Adkins the inkjet printer would be needed if ur trying to do full color transfers. But that’s why he introduced us to the third party print company’s like supacolor. The cameo would be good for starting a T-shirt vinyl/decal business.

[@leahlilly8121]

Would you keep it at 12 for sublimation as well?

[@gentlegnt]

Hi there, Leah Lilly. I know it's been a year since you posted your comment on this video, but I am looking at the GEO Knight D20 or D20s (swing away) because mostly of their awesome looking weaving heat platen under the top platen that should give very even heat and also the swing away, I am told (any model actually) is perfect for sublimation. But, another KZbinr that Stan did an interview with, "Big Brandoh" who said that he uses his HPN Signature Pro (clamshell, just like this one) for sublimation with no issues at all. What is YOUR experience with it? Do you have this model and do you do sublimation on it. I believe that sublimation projects MUST have FIRM pressure EVENLY across the substrait-period!! Your thoughts?

[@PreciousFukkenmoney]

Hey what settings are best for the pressure

[@StanBanks]

It’s a book mark so each press will be set different

[@jbamerican_usnavy]

When heat presses are not in use do you tie down the lid or leave it open?

Leave open some you can leave closed
