Fancierstudio DG Heat Press Digital Sublimation T-Shirt Heat Press,15-by-15-Inch - Black

Although this is commercial equipment, I feel that it is too heavy for just anyone to use. It is very hard to open and close. I am impressed with the ease of use otherwise. It is a great press at adhering vinyl to clothing. The 15X15 size is a great size for pressing.

Absolutely no complaints thus far. I had pined for a t-shirt heat press for months and spent as much time researching over and over and over the various brands. Once I finally had the funds to purchase, I decided on this press for a few reasons: 1) Price and platen size: I purchased this press for $189.99 and it is 2) Automatic heat setting and plate opening: The platen temperature and automatic timer are extremely easy to set. The press heats up very quickly and is usually ready to go in roughly 10-15 minutes. Also, regarding the temperature, the press is ready within 10 degrees of your target temperature. You will hear an intermittent clicking coming from the platen as it approaches the target temperature and is a cue that your press is ready for use. The automatic timer starts the countdown as soon as you close the press. Once the time elapses, it emits a repeated beeping and automatically pops open the press; which is a nice touch. The hatch of the press opens nice and wide, so you should have no fear of burning yourself on the platen. The con I can think of is that the hatch can be hard to open at the higher pressure settings when the shirt is done. Make sure your press is on a sturdy table or workspace as you may have to brace yourself to pop open the press on occasion. Not a deal-breaker at all and probably a good sign that the pressure is effective. I definitely recommend this; especially if you are a first-timer like me looking to inexpensively start a t-shirt business with a quality heat press.

Sept 12 has been 2 years that I have had this heat press. I worked awesome when I first received it. It now no longer heats correctly in the middle. I am having to reposition shirts each time I use it to get the design to stick in the middle. I can now not really do sub transfers because of this. When I lift the top it will pull the paper with it leaving no design in the middle. I do not use this machine daily. Maybe a few times a month. Now I am on the search for a new one.

So far so good, However as like the others said, I would like a manual. I have only used it once. I did not have a smell the first time, so I didnt have to do a burnoff. I am not sure what all the clicking noises are yet. (They make my power light go on and off, where the timer is, not the actual button on the side). It is on its own breaker. So still figuring out, after I use a few more times, I will update.

Easy to use

I loved how easy it was using this heat press, perfect size for my room and worked great for my small business. Unfortunately this didn’t last me a year. It worked one minute and completely stopped the next. It won’t turn on at all. This is disappointing especially during the holiday season when money is tight and I was using this to make extra money.

I was intimidated to use a heat press and had previously only used an iron to make t-shirts. I love this machine! It is very easy to use. I am glad I made the purchase. It is a sturdy made machine and I made my first large order, 35 shirts, and it was a breeze!

Ive had my machine almost 6 months and I love it! Yes it does have a clicking noise, but I think its a great way to remind that the machine is on. The beeping happens once it reaches it set temperature, it is quite loud (the beeping) but I stand close and pull top down so it stops. Ive never had any issues with vinyl coming off, heats evenly, pressure knob is easy to use.. love everthing about it. The instructions were very minimal, but its not hard to figure out!

This is my first heat press. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now and it’s been very consistent with the results when making T-shirt’s. I’ve used it for HYV vinyl and also Transfer paper and the results have been amazing. Even heat distribution and the plate itself heats up pretty quickly. Great value for the money. Worth every penny!

This heat press works well for heat transfer vinyl. It didnt come with any instructions, but I found a video online that explained how to work the settings. I havent tested the accuracy of the heat plate, but the vinyl adheres well to t shirts when set to the appropriate temperature. The pressure knob works well to adjust the pressure for items of different thickness. This press does come with a Teflon sheet, which I dont think was mentioned in the description.
