HTVRONTHeat Press Machine - 15" x 15" (38cm x 38cm) Professional Auto Heat Press with 210°C (410°F) Heat Plate for Iron On HTV Vinyl - Light Blue

Took the plunge and treated myself. Instruction manual comes with it and quite in depth. It's heavy so it will need to be placed somewhere where you don't have to keep lifting it. I chose the blue colour and large work space. It arrived well packed with polystyrene and wasn't damaged. Also came with a padded cushion on elastic so you can wash it and there was a sheet of teflon included. I shopped around and managed to find good deal on here with a percentage off using an Amazon voucher.

* EDITED*After leaving my initial review below; the seller immediately got in touch and said they would take the screen cover on board and immediately start adding them to future products to be shipped. Absolutely can’t fault them on this one.RE: the temperature the seller gave me additional info on how to change the screen so it consistently showed it in •C not •F. Basically the manual isn’t super intuitive but with the additional help from the seller this has been resolved. I’m very happy with the performance of the machine and happy to change my review to reflect this.Initial review:The press arrived and I unwrapped it and immediately noticed there was no protective cover on the little heating screen and it’s got a lot of scratches on it. For a £400 machine it should have had a protective cover. The rest of the machine was well packaged and protected.Upon using the machine the temp is in •F not •C (it switches at times by itself) which is confusing for the UK customers. It says press the temp button and then the up & down keys to change the temperature but mine doesn’t change and just keeps climbing to the preset temp? It could be that in so used to my Cricut easy press that this one seems so complicated but time will tell!

I had been applying HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) using a domestic iron with very mixed results, a lot of lost items and wasted vinyl. I decided the way forward was a heat press, I hesitated over the HTVRONT as it was double the price I could get a heat press for. However, I did buy one and been very pleased, so far not a single wasted project.A few points, I used an Infrared Thermometer to establish the hotplate temperature which I found was running approx 30 degrees C hotter than shown, so simply reduced further temperatures and that has worked fine. I also read the reviews for this item and some of them are not entirely accurate. One review stated that there is no release button to lift the hotplate from the bed, true there is no button marked "release" but you simply press any button on the control panel and it will immediately release. Another states you are limited to the units pre-programmed temperatures, this not so. You have a set of programmes supplied, you can create an additional two custom settings or enter any temperature and time of your choice up to the maximum time and temperature allowed by the unit.Lastly, it looks smart and with a pull out bed doesn't take up a lot of room.

Terrible heat press. I thought I was upgrading by buying one of these to replace my ink experts press. Doesn’t adhere the vinyl at all, tried several different settings. No way to adjust the pressure. The only decent thing about it is the automatic press/release. Do not recommend.

A manual would have been helpful re items which can be pressed, thickness, etc…it can be a bit of trial and error. Once you’ve mastered the heat settings and timer it works very well with few hiccups, although on one occasion we couldn’t lift the plate (or rather it didn’t lift automatically). Certainly would buy this again and recommend it. We’re currently looking at the same make for a mug press to compliment our Cricut, which is very pricey!

The media could not be loaded. Good morning, I want to know how to turn off the machine and when I push the tray it doesn't click.

Fantastic investment. Highly recommend .

It is good and I'm aware it's an auto press however it sometimes presses too hard and ruins what I'm working on. A way to change the pressure wold be good on the personal settings
