Been shopping for heat presses to begin manufacturing my own designs and begin selling apparel online. I watched this video after your 3-part 7 heat press comparison and all your information was incredibly helpful and detailed! Thank you guys for putting these videos together and sharing all that you've learned with us. Amazing stuff! 🤘
I am super thankful for your videos. This is the one I have my eyes on, as well as the HTVront swing away that you just tested. Between these two, both getting an above 4 rating from you and both being under $200 which one would you recommend to a beginner for personal use and potentially small business usage?
Thank you for the great videos! I do agree with the other person that commented. It looks as though they made new changes to it again, even since this really recent purchase/review. It now has the Teflon coated heating plate. Maybe they follow you and keep upgrading based on your videos idk. Hard to say if they made any other changes since this video was made, but maybe. Anyway, keep up the great videos!
Adding a helpful hint, when you use a thermal sensor like that and point it at an angle you are getting reflected temperature reading from other surfaces that skew your measurement. That tool is designed to work when perpendicular to the surface being measured.
I have this press and it's been serving me well!! Quick question- is it possible to replace the lower platten on this press or if not- maybe an extended platten? I kept wondering about this because I think a platten that has a drawer like feature can make it easier to lay down the shirts easier.
hey I actually brought this press based on your review of it, so thanks and keep up the good work. What do you think is a good rule of thumb on cooling before you peel? Thanks again
It depends on a few factors so check with your DTF supplier. For "our" particular DTF transfers, they can be peeled both hot as well as cold. If you've got a fairly solid print, I would try to instant peel. If you're dealing with finer details like neck tags and lettering, I would let it cool 10-15s. I might even use a microfiber cloth to give it a quick wipe to help cool.
I loved the previous video where you reviewed the different models So helpful!! I’m getting ready to purchase a press. One quick question I’m going to be printing on big and tall shirts will a 15x15 press be big enough or should I get a 16x20 press
Thanks for watching that video. The 15x15 may work for oversized prints, you just have to do different sections at once. There aren't many "budget" 16x20 presses out there, they get to be pretty heavy. The one we recommend is our 16x20 Prisma th-cam.com/video/NoKvi6MnYhQ/w-d-xo.html
I was just looking for possibly a great press to make some things for myself or some friends for gifts. Looks like this one might fit the bill perfectly assuming that it'll work with DTF transfers & hoodies. I'm a hoodie fanatic. Couldn't you just flip the hoodie & the design around upside down to make it easier to work with rather than fight with the hoodie??
Hi. I am your new subscriber. I am planning to start a small buss at home and i am very new to this kind of heat press thing. I was wondering which heat press machine will i start? I was thinking to do a t- shirt and hoodies? Does every press have diff type of fabric to use? Hopefully you can answer my question. Thanks🙏
The powerpress in this video is a good press to start off. There are more expensive presses when you get to the volume and need but this one will work to get you started.
Hey buddy I love your videos, I want to start a jdm style shirt business, I bought a cheap heat press from ebay and I want to throw it away, can you recommend me the best heat press you had so far ? I dont care if it cost $400 I think when you invest in something good later on is less work and better results.
I just bought one, and the newest version says “Teflon coated”… does that mean that I don’t need a Teflon sheet any more? Or would you still recommended using one?
Thanks for the helpful review. Im interested in buying one of those. I live in germany and i need a version with 220V or 230V. Do you know if they sell those kind of versions which will fit the european Volt system?
It would work fine. Its always a bit harder doing hoodies on 15x15 but you take your time and it is what it is. Ideal is 16x20 but they start to add up.
Hello, the description of the heat plate now says "Teflon coated." I was wondering if that means you actually don't need the teflon sheets anymore and that's the reason they no longer provide them? I'm thinking of purchasing this press so I'm trying to figure it out lol.
Thanks for the prompt response. I will definitely be ordering it based off of your videos. 👍 In the powerpress link you provided. The second product image says "Teflon Coated Heating Plate". I know nothing about heat press machines so I am a bit confused on that.
Looks really good. Kinda sucks to be stuck with VEVOR for affordable budget heat presses where i live. Really wanted to get this powerpress, but it's 800 euros here omg.
@@transfersuperstars that's without shipping even. Ironically if I where to order it from the US it would be "only" 400usd though I'd probably have to pay import tax. I love in the Netherlands. I only just started using HTV like flex but I'm already tired if using an iron haha. So my demands aren't that high.
Can you do a video on your oven/shaker. What temperature and settings do you use? My transfers scratch when I dig it hard with my fingernail. Is that normal?
Temperature and setting depends on a lot of factors. Speed of print, length of heating chamber, time in chamber, normal exhaust or assisted exhaust. Even powder melting point will play it's part. You need to continue to test your prints till you dial it down. Are you scratching before or after the press? On the shirt?
@transfersuperstars Thanks for your reply! I'm scratching after I press. Press - Peel - press again - then scratch. I recently got a 4 head audley with the dryer/shaker, and I'm using the supplies they provided. (Film, ink, and powder).
I recently bought this! After I bought it I realized it said Sublimation Machine - do you need to use sublimation transfers or can you use DTF transfers?
Thanks for replying! I bought gang sheets that are dtf transfers. I’m trying to press one design on a hoodie. And then another design on workout shorts that are made of polyester. So I just wasn’t sure would dtf transfers work well with this machine since it says Sublimation
The way each of them are built are very similar. They’re so close that you can’t go wrong with either one, just choose based on how it looks or how fast you can get it. With a heat press this economical it’ll pay for itself in 2 or 3 deals.
I have this model and love it. Over 200 flawless presses! It has paid for its self over and over.

Yep, I just ordered mine
This press is the one I just bought, haven’t had any problems , 5/5
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
How has it been after the months youve had it still working good?
I am super thankful for your videos. This is the one I have my eyes on, as well as the HTVront swing away that you just tested. Between these two, both getting an above 4 rating from you and both being under $200 which one would you recommend to a beginner for personal use and potentially small business usage?
I personally like the clam shell design vs swing away better but both are good beginner presses.
Love your content! We appreciate your channel and all the information you share with your subscribers. Keep up the good work!

Can you review the HPN Signature Series 15" x 15" Auto-Open Slide-Out Drawer

A bit unconventional but you can surely do that! I can tell you're a problem solver.

Thank you ! Appreciate you checking out the channel
Good info. Do you have a link for this item, I've typed in the name (power press heat press) on Amazon and eBay and keep getting a different product?
Here you go. Its in the video description. amzn.to/48Qf23c

You that best ! 👌 keep up the good work
What is the appropriate temperature for shirts?! Also how long should the timer be set for?
Each print company have difference settings. For our transfers, we recommend 300f for 7s on heavy pressure.
I just bought one, and the newest version says “Teflon coated”… does that mean that I don’t need a Teflon sheet any more? Or would you still recommended using one?
We always recommend using a teflon sheet just in case. Last thing you want to do is have the heat press pop up and prematurely lift your transfer
Thanks for the helpful review. Im interested in buying one of those. I live in germany and i need a version with 220V or 230V. Do you know if they sell those kind of versions which will fit the european Volt system?
I'm not so sure, You might want to reach out to VEVOR directly to see if there is a european distributor.
Would this be efficient for hoodies?
It would work fine. Its always a bit harder doing hoodies on 15x15 but you take your time and it is what it is. Ideal is 16x20 but they start to add up.
@@transfersuperstars thank you for the insight
I'm struck between this and the new HTV manual press 😳 powerpress 4.6
Htv 4.9
😢
Both are good options.
@transfersuperstars got the PowerPress !!😅 Appreciate you bruv
Hello, the description of the heat plate now says "Teflon coated." I was wondering if that means you actually don't need the teflon sheets anymore and that's the reason they no longer provide them? I'm thinking of purchasing this press so I'm trying to figure it out lol.
I don't think it was teflon coated. You may still need to use a magnet to add the layer. It is still a very good press.
Thanks for the prompt response. I will definitely be ordering it based off of your videos. 👍 In the powerpress link you provided. The second product image says "Teflon Coated Heating Plate". I know nothing about heat press machines so I am a bit confused on that.

Ouch, thats really bad on shipping. Where are you located?

I recently bought this! After I bought it I realized it said Sublimation Machine - do you need to use sublimation transfers or can you use DTF transfers?
If you are referring to the Powerpress, it works with different transfers like dtf and vinyl. What are you looking to heat press?
Thanks for replying! I bought gang sheets that are dtf transfers.
I’m trying to press one design on a hoodie.
And then another design on workout shorts that are made of polyester.
So I just wasn’t sure would dtf transfers work well with this machine since it says Sublimation
@@0006valerieso can you use DTS and vinyl? I want to buy DTF transfers online, so it will work correct?
@@prevails85I haven’t used the DTF transfers I bought yet. But according to @transfersuperstars it will work with this machine
Yes DTF works with this machine.
Is this good for a sport shirt buisiness?
Yes this press works well with all sorts of garments, even sportswear
Power press vs Htvront ?
Powerpress all day. HTVRONT doesn't have enough pressure for long term DTF life.
Powerpress 15×15 or Tusy 15×15??
The way each of them are built are very similar. They’re so close that you can’t go wrong with either one, just choose based on how it looks or how fast you can get it. With a heat press this economical it’ll pay for itself in 2 or 3 deals.
@@transfersuperstars ...Have you done a review of the TUSY by chance???
