ALL: I did this video as a review of this heat press. If you are having problems or missing parts, please contact the seller where you purchased this from. I am NOT associated with Vevor, or the sellers of their product.
i got one I can ‘t use it
Thank you for your review. I am just getting into making shirts and my husband got me this heat press on Black Friday. He put it together for me as it didn’t have any instructions. Thanks again for taking the time to go over all the items. 😊
Thank you for this great tutorial. I just bought this and was a little intimated. Hopefully its as easy as you made it look. Thanks again
do I need to buy any special paper? I want to make t-shirt design. Also, can I use my computer to make my designs, so I can print them? is the Brother printer a good buy?
Yes. Sublimation paper and also requires sublimation ink. Regular Ink Jet ink will not work. Suggest an Epson over Brother as sublimation ink is more readily available for Epson printers. If budget allows, go with Sawgrass printer.
@@rogersshop thanks very much for taking the time to answer my question. I went with the Sawgrass
Not sure if you can assist but i have the same heat press and the height adjustment is not working. Just keeps going around and around and not adjusting the height at all.
Make sure the knob on the vertical riser in the back is loose or it won't move.
Thank you! Mine did not have any instructions. You were a wealth of information. Glad I found your channel. I have subscribed and looking forward to more of you videos.
Same thing. 👎 NO instructions lol and I have so many ideas and don't know how to use my 8-1 smdh
Thank you for this a nice video, i have a question, witch kind of printer can I buy,to have a perfect quality??
Sawgrass if you have the budget. Or, convert an Epson 2720.
Thank you Roger! I recently got this very press. I am bran spanking new to this, I'm nervous but excited to experiment and learn. I'll make sure to bookmark your links! I look forward to watching your other videos!
@Vicki I am in the boat with you here we go..... lol
I'm sure now you a pro
You should update the Amazon link to the heat press. It didn't have a buy button. Love the video.❤
Thanks for pointing that out and it has been updated. Vendors tend to change their listings quite a bit!
My press also came without instructions, glad I came across your site. I have subscribed to be able to watch MORE . Thanks
Should all the bolts inside the springs be at the same level when press is closed? Mine are at different levels making me think I'm not getting uniform pressure. Can i adjust using those bolts? Yes, I'm a newbie with this one ... just set it up. Thanks. 😊
Not necessarily. Not uncommon to see slightly different protrusions.
Hi Roger thank you for your Video helped me a lot. I just don't understand or know what's rhe pressure for or when we used. If I turn the pressure I'm not able to move the press very well it's normal? Thank you
Pressure adjustment level will depend on the project and adjustments are made with the top released and then the knob at the top, then checking for the amount of pressure when you latch the top down. When the top is released, it should swing free and there should be clearance between the top and bottom plates. If there is sufficient clearance, and it is still hard to swing, check that the knob on the back is not too tight.
Ohhh ok 😊 thank you so much
Where can I find heat pad for this press? Purchased at a garage sale without pad?
Amazon amzn.to/3UiVSgM
Hello Roger
Most pics show 2 matts. I can’t find the bottom white Matt. Should I just double up with the red Matt instead? Thank you PS great video
@@diannaofodile7727 From the factory, one matt is softer than the other. In use, you actually only need one.
I have this same machine where can I purchase the cups n other accessories. Thanks because my machine came without instructions
Thank you for such a great tutorial. The machine does not come with assembly instructions. What brand of sublimation paper do you use? I did cup but it came hot horrible nothing like yours in the video
I use Innosub USA, A-sub, and Textprint papers.
Thank you so much!!
My vector press has a cord with two screws on the end coming out of the controller box - is this suppose to be a grounding wire ?? I do not see this cord on any video for this model
I have not seen that type of configuration on any heat press I've worked with
I just got this heat press and couldn’t for the life of me figure out the timer thing. I thought it was auto. Thank you!!!!
Yes❤❤
Did you notice that after you press the top plate down the 4 screw/spring are not at the same height. The back one are higher meaning more pressure on the back half and less press on the front half. Any fix on this? TIA
I got mine about 4 months ago and I set the temp and as I'm using it it looks like the numbers are going down in the temp box,but when I push temp set again it's set at 400 still. My question is is after you set the temperature does the little tent box what is it supposed to say is it supposed to Read 400 at all times or does it have other numbers up there
My tempature always goes very low on the shirt press... how could I get it to have a steady tempature?
preheat the base before using for a project. Some temperature drop when the project is put in and the press closed is normal.
I have had my vevor about 5 yrs mine works gòod except the 15 0z mug heating element wire frayed so i can't use it any more, do U know where i can buy just that part im 74 yrs old an can't afford to buy a whole new one thank U
amzn.to/3rAETeH
I tried doing the heat press cup just like you stated in this video and it didnt work I bought the same paper you stated in your link below and still didnt work. Can you explain more in detail how or what is used to do the mug press?
Are you using a sublimation blank mug? If not, this will never work. The mug needs to have a coating for dye sublimation.
Hi, I just received my 5-in-1 VEVOR heat press and I placed it altogether but I am missing that metal sliding bracket for the hat. DO you know where I can get one like that? they did send me another box but it didn't have the piece again, so I am trying to find where I can get it from
Do you mean the silver aluminum track that the hat base slides into? If so, that should have been installed when manufactured. You will probably need to contact the source where you purchased it from. I have no connections with Vevor, so can't help much.
I have a Hi-hone 8 in one heat press and it’s not even two years old and the main bar that connects the bottom to the top broke. Can someone tell me what that part may be and can you just order that part alone? Thank you
Can you do skinny 20oz tumbler in the mug press like other machines I’ve seen?
No. That takes a different press with a longer heating element.
What size screwdriver is that?
#2 Phillips
I've been thinking about a press for a while now, and I even looked hard at this one. If I get it, I'll use your link Roger. Thanks for the review and demo!
The mug...what brand of paper are you using that doesn't bleed?
The paper I used in this video is A-Sub. In production, I use Innosub USA or HiiPoo sublimation paper. If your graphics are bleeding, blurring, or ghosting, then you either need to NOT hot peel (crates ghosting), or increase pressure. 385 degrees for 180-190 seconds with heavy pressure makes the best transfer and I always cold peel.
Hello I'm looking at your video can please tell what kind sublimation ink do use thank you 😊

Just got my 8 in 1 Vevor but there are no up/down arrows. How do you start the timer?
Sounds like you have a different/newer model. Consult the manual.
@@rogersshopno manual was included, I’ll check online. Thank you.
This was super helpful. Thank you.
My heat press arrived today. Thank you for your tutorial. It was very helpfully. Best regards from germany.
Thank you for the this great video. Once I receive my product this Wednesday I will refer to this again. I do have one question. Do I need plug this into a surge protector. I’m receiving different answers. Thank you!
No. This does not have sensitive electronics that would require any surge protection. it is basically a temperature controller with a relay.
subscribed your calm and take the time to teach us newbies.
just ordered one wish i would have seen this before i ordered.
I purchased a swing press, not this brand. I returned it because the foot was plastic and the top was heavier and it tipped over when I sat it up on the table. I put it back in the box and returned it. Is the footing in this brand metal?
Base is made from steel
Thank You for sharing this do I have to heat up my heat press every time before I use it and the butcher paper what side do I use the shiny side or the duel side
Always pre heat. If I get butcher paper with a shiny side, I put the dull or matte side toward the project. I try to avoid those types of paper as some are waxed.
@@rogersshop Thank you so much Roger would that cause my T-Shirts to come out not dark because after I press them the shirt are not dark and the ink on the paper is like it was when I printed it or I’m don’t have it up high enough or the pressure is not enough I’m new at this
@@patriciajackson3883 This tutorial is for toddler size shirts, but the same process applies: th-cam.com/video/PJIfFqPXgfc/w-d-xo.html
HI I LIKE THIS VIDEO DID U TRY TO WASH IT ?IS THE INK STEADY?
Permanent. Does not wash off.
Hi.
I set up and tested the heat press today.
I checked the temperature readings of the platen and compared it to the read outs on the control box.
Here is what I got:
Heat Press Temperatures
Reading Actual
200 191
220 210
240 221
260 219
280 256
300 272
320 290
335 304
340 311
360 323
380 341
400 355
410 366
The actual platen temps are much lower that what has been set.
I did this 4 times , each time waiting for the temperature (blinking light) to stop indicating it has reached the set temperature.
Did you have the same issue?
No. although the temperature will vary by a few degrees across the platen, mine is not more than 5-10 degrees (after complete warm up)
Roger....YOU DA MAN! Not sure about your instruction book but mine has a line drawing of the correct control box but all of the instructions are using a "Mode" button. I'm glad I found your video. One question concerning the graphic you used.... I couldn't see any yellow on the graphic itself but when you pulled it off the cloth and the mug, there seems to be some light discoloring around the edges. Was it on the original graphic or could it be the coating on the paper that yellowed from the heat? Thanks again for a great video.
Part of the graphic. Yellow does not always show up to well in video.
Hello Roger,
For Toten Bags with Transfer paper (laser Printed), wich temperature and time do you use?
Best regards,
Using ink jet printed sublimation ink on sublimation paper, 360 degrees F for 60 seconds on a sublimation blank tote bag.
Are the screws for the press plate , the plate. And hat press the same size because I didn't get the screws for the hat press or the plates
How do you get the top off so you can adjust the height? I have turned and turned
Height adjustment is the knob at the top/rear.
I am a beginner & just brought this heat press. I do not have a sublimation printer. I only have a laser printer. Is there any type of paper I can use with laser printer?
Dye sublimation in k is REQUIRED. A laser printer will not work for this. Requires and ink jet printer converted (or purchased setup) for sublimation ink. Standard inkjet ink will not work.
my heat press doesnt have the wing nuts on the bottom. seems impossible to get the bottom plate off
Is it the same model? This company offers several different models and they may have differing components.
Yes. Same model. Even the one on the website that I ordered has the wing nuts and long screws in the middle. I have asked people in my Facebook groups and all theirs have those parts too. I’ve tried contacting my VEVOR customer service but they are being extremely difficult and are not willing to offer a solution other than “compensating me 20 USD”. Not sure what to do. I’m so frustrated with them.
@@destrymower2937 A hassle, but you may be able to substitute existing mounting screws with longer ones along with wing nuts from a hardware store. I am not associated with Vevor, so can't help much other than this suggestion.
I received my 8 in 1 today but it doesn't have the 2 different size plate press pieces that plug in. It only has 2 different size purple foam pieces that I'm supposed to heat up under the main press for 15 minutes. Not sure if they discontinued the one's in your video or what.
i need a new control box.. thik this one? where do i buy one???
You will need to contact Vevor. I am not associated with Vevor, nor sponsored by them.
All of the springs on the top of my top platen do not go down. Would that be a defect or some type of adjustment I’m missing ?
Did you try the pressure knob? Did that g have any effect? My screws are higher in the back than the front making me think I'm not getting uniform pressure. Haven't tested yet. Mine needed assembly and I need a rest.😊
The upper platen is hiked up in the back, badly. I'm trying to find out how the screws work on the springs. If I could adjust these springs, I could get the upper platen level. I took off my upper platen. The bottom of the screws are small but on top where you screw are large. Do you know how they work? Much appreciated. Company won't get back with me.
Did u get any answers on ur question. Mine is doing same thing
Thank you thank you thank you..so much..your video is very informative..I so needed to watch this to learn how to install my machine.
I NEED THIS MECHINA HOW MUCH
Vevor 8 in 1 Heat Press amzn.to/39cLTEK
Thank you so much. I used your video to start using my heat press.
Hi. I just took mine out of the box and it also doesn't have the metal slide bracket for the hat press. Anyone else? Thanks
Thank you for showing how to use this heat press.
Hello, I have a problem with dark transfer paper (Blue Grid). With heat press and medium pressure, I use 350 Degrees Fahrenheit and 10 seconds. sometimes I use variations of temperature: from 350 to 380 and time: from 5 to 20.
Almost always the image looks great after the heat press. great colors and great clarity/sharpness. Just fine.
But after a day or two, the image gets blurry - like a Photoshop filter - Gaussian Blur. It happens all the time. Always. The T-shirt just stays in the room, no washing, no extreme conditions, just normally lays on the table for a day. Sometimes two-three days, and the image gets blurry. Very blurry.
I don't know what's wrong, what am I doing wrong? The White T-shirt printing and transferring has no problems at all, but when I print for dark T-shirts, this happens. The colors are the same, not faded, but the visual gets blurry.
I have no experience with the dark transfer as we do not do it, so unbale to answer your question.
I have two questions:
•Does the bottom plate slide out?
•Does the timer start automatically when you close the press?
No to both questions. You need to start the timer manually.
My bottom plate acts as a Drawer but only came with hat press. I have separate plate and tumbler/mug press.
did you see cricut had a new line of presses
Yes, but that Autopress is pretty pricey! Waiting to see how it fares.
@@rogersshop for the price I could but 2+ manual ones
Is the heat temperature even on the press?
Yes. Within 2-3 degrees across the top platen. A bit less on the very edges.
Just got mine all plugged up and the temp is stuck at 76 😩
I bought the CO-Z but it is the exact model as this brand. Thank you! There is a very thin booklet included with this but for the price I thinks it’s pretty awesome!
I think they are made in the same factory, just with different brand names on them.
Nice product review. Just got my wife this one after watching some vids, and a little prodict searching. She's a regular, but not a heavy user of her cricket, but this definitely will make her projects easier and more versatile. Have y'all had any issues with it since?
No problems. I gave this to my Granddaughter, who uses it heavily.
@@rogersshop Thanks..
Which one is better the cricket or the other one u gotten cuz I’m not sure which to get since I’ll be doing shirt leggings shorts hats and tumblers
Thank you. this helped so much. There were no instructions, imagine that! lol!
This is the one I have and love it!
How do you adjust height of heat press ? I can’t fit any sweaters
The knob at the top. If it won't move or is too tight, loosen the knob on the back vertical riser a little.
You can also use thinner pads on bottom plate.
Another awesome video Thank you
You can use ink jet with powder. It’s transfer powder
Probably not
Does it work with maker 3
Would anyone know where I can get replacement parts?

Thank you for this amazing video. I’ll be using the hat it’s for the first time.
I just received mine and glad I found your video. I am doing htv since I do not have a sublimation printer. Which printer do you use or recommend? I love your sublimation. Also, does your granddaughter have TH-cam videos on htv? Would love to subscribe. Thanks
My two sublimation printers are an Epson 2720 converted with Hiipoo sublimation ink and a Sawgrass SG1000 ($$$$). My Granddaughter does not have a channel............Having to work and look after a toddler makes it difficult!
Your prints are beautiful
Very informative. The lighting from the top view is dark
great job 👍🏽
The handle wont go back on my plate
Do you happen to be interested to selling that machine?
No. That is in use in my Grand daughter's shop.
i love this video. i was stuck
Amazing
Good video.
Why did this machine come without instructions? Then, no manual on the website, either. Seems like a very “knock-off product” type of thing to do.

@@rogersshop thank you!!!
I went factory reset off my combo 8 in 1 heat press
Sir price kya hoga
He doesn't work for vevor people. He's showing us how these things work. He's doing a review.
Thank you so much for this presentation. The instructions were horrible!
I couldn't follow how to set
My Vevor heat press didn’t work properly! The mug heat press never get the right temperature, I used no more than 3 hours and burnt, they don’t give you any assistance, very bad costumer service, to get my heat press fixed I have to go to Orlando - Florida!! Unbelievable, DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE!
I have the exact one and purchased it 6 months ago. It's still under warranty. It kept kicking off and will not turn back on. I know it's the control box. They wanted me to order one on amazon but I didn't find one compatible. They are suppose to be sending me a refund. I have been going back and forth with them. I don't want another one like it. Seems like it's a common issue after researching.
@@mrscole2613 they refunded me so little 😞😒but I’m still loosing money…I
Thanks for letting me know. I was about to order the 8 in one but I don't feel comfortable buying from a place that does not offer any after sales assistance🤨
My heat press lid is wobbly is their a way to fix that? The instruction book does not say anything.
I have the same pbm
Looking at possibly acquiring one of these. Cool video, new to the channel. Go'n go a head and subscribe :)
🍻👈😎💯
I can ‘t use my
Mine died after 6 months
Although I am not sponsored by this company, that can happen to any brand. Contact the vendor.
@@rogersshop The part is on its way already
Sadly i was a day late for the 30% savings
Bought it and immediately I'm returning it. Takes almost 40 minutes to heat up to temp. Absolute garbage, do not buy.
I'm not happy with this machine please don't get this machine
This is already assembled. Not useful!
Then you didn't watch the video........
Thanks for the great video.
I just purchased the 8 in 1, have you had any issues with the press/or any of the components?
