Fancierstudio Digital Heat Press 15 x 15 Sublimation Rhinestone Heat T-Shirt Machine15x15 B/BLK

Update #2: I'm now at 4+ years of daily use with this heat press and a weld finally let go. It still works, but jerks very strongly when opened. I'm at well over 100,000 presses and this thing has worked like an absolute champ. When it's time to replace it (probably soon), I'll be buying the exact same one. I had to replace a table that it completely destroyed, but I put a non-slip pad (meant for a sewing machine) under it to protect the table and it's worked great!Update: This heat press is going strong after nearly a year of every day use and 20,000+ shirts pressed. The dial for adjusting the pressure has started "slipping" and adjusting itself (usually up) over time, but it's easy enough to change back. It still heats up quickly and consistently and holds the temperature. It's completely destroyed the table it sits on, but it's easily the best investment I've made in my business, so I'll live with that!I make t-shirt blankets and each shirt needs interfacing. For 15+ years, I've ironed the interfacing, taking 2+ minutes per shirt. With this heat press, the same job takes 12 seconds and the results are so much more consistent. I was intimidated when I took the press out of the box, but I did some research on time and temperature and was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Having this heat press has sped up my business turn-around time and increased the quality of my product. The only tiny negative is that it's heavy (~45lbs) and very awkward to move, and if it slides during use, it scratches the surface it's sitting on.

I've only been using it for a few days, but so far everything is going well. The only thing is that I had problems with my delivery and the box arrived broken and messed up. But as for the machine, it works perfectly and seems practical to me.

Great heat press! Heats up super fast, well made, and conveniently plugs into regular outlets. Easy to use.

I have been reading reviews and watching videos about heat presses for months before I decided on this one. First of all, I'm a crafter, not a business. I make things for family and friends and when I charge it's usually for materials only. So that being said, I also want to say in the picture you will see my very first project with htv vinyl AND a heat press. I've never done an iron on/htv vinyl project nor have I used a heat press before now. This heat press was SO easy! Settings were extremely easy and my project on a canvas bag turned out awesome. All you basically have to do is turn it on, set the heat to desired number, set the timer to desired number, put your bag or shirt or whatever on the pad, push the handle down and when it's done it will beep. Release the handle, let the fabric cool for a minute and then peel off the layer of plastic and your transfer is there! I also used the parchment paper that came with the press to place over the bag. I've seen people use this without it in videos, but I chose to use it since it came with the press. Overall this is a great little machine. Doesn't come with a lot of instructions, google will be your friend when it comes to setting temperature and timer depending on fabric and type of vinyl. ALSO there's a flyer in the box with Fancierstudio Facebook page. They have videos that I watched before I attempted to use this heat press, plus they have troubleshooting videos with easy fixes. I'm completely satisfied with this purchase!

I am in a costumed heavy metal band and wanted to make our own shirts to give away at our shows. We sell screen printed more expensive T's but wanted to make some heat pressed T's to throw from the stage. This was not available for Prime shipping but surprisingly arrived in only 3 days after ordering. It's heavy and the box is a bit awkward. The box had some pretty ugly damage so I was worried at first. Opening the box top I could see that the protective foam was busted and was really worried now. Pulling the foam from the box I could see that machine is actually very well protected. It had no damage whatsoever and looked great.I set up a sturdy work table and powered it up. It heated up quickly to 250 degrees. I changed the setting to 350 and placed a T shirt on the press. You should be very careful to not touch the shirt tag to the top hot plate at any time. The tag will stick to it. The t shirt tends to get caught on the front corners of the bottom plate and the rubber piece will lift up. After a couple attempts you will get good at avoiding this. I placed the transfer in the center chest area and placed the included Teflon over it. You want to be careful not to burn your hand but still get the Teflon over the transfer without bumping the transfer out of place. Also make sure the Teflon is all the way to the back, covering the shirt tag from touching the hot plate.I adjusted the tension a bit tighter and closed press. The timer was set to ten seconds, I went 15 and opened it up. Peel the transfer backing off quickly and it tears don't fight it. Simply place the Teflon back over it and heat it up again, then peel that piece off. It won't affect the uncovered area of transfer, in fact it will remove any wrinkles making it nice and smooth.When removing the finished shirt do not let the transfer touch itself or it can stick together and peel parts off. If your transfer is crooked you can stretch the area in the direction you need by pulling the shirt in the direction needed to level it out. Notice on most t shirts there is a center line down the middle for lining up your transfer.This heat press was $209 and appears to be the least expensive of this type on Amazon. The others are $250 + and not much more improved, so I highly recommend this one. I hope it lasts a long time, so far it has worked perfectly.
