FancierstudioDG Heat Press 15x15 Inch Sublimation Heat Press Slide Out Lower Platen Max 5.5 inch

This heat press is awesome. It heats up quickly, has adjustable temp and pressure, and works great. We have used this to make several hundred shirts so far, and it saves us so much time over hand ironing. We were spending 5 minutes on each side of the shirt with an iron, but with this heat press, we have the whole shirt done in less than 45 seconds. Very sturdy, very efficient.

Let me start by saying I debated between this and another heat press for quite awhile before purchasing. It was delivered on time, which is the norm for Amazon Prime! After getting it into my craft room and unboxing it with a bit of help from my son I was ready to try it out. The first thing I noticed was that although it looked brand new in the packaging, the cord looks like it was reused from another machine. The cord was sticky, had white particles stuck to it and random white paint smears on it. My first impression was not a positive one! Next I decided to read the instructions and check to see if there were any safety warnings beyond the obvious ones. Let me say that the instruction booklet leaves quite a lot to be desired, as there is really no info of any value in it, you're on your own! My first step was to do the paper test to see if pressure was high enough and it was, so I plugged the press in, adjusted the desired heat temp and turned it on to begin preheating. As with most heat based electric appliances, this did have an odor the first time it was heated up; that burned off quickly and we were ready to get started! The first thing I chose to press was a tshirt. Pulling the top plate down with the handle and locking in place was harder than expected. The handle snapped pretty hard when locking shut. Heat and timer worked fine, but upon time to open the press back up it did have a pretty tight lock. My next item was a tote bag. I could not get the press to lock down with the bag on there. Please note that the bag was much thinner than if I had placed a hoodie in the machine. I had to loosen the pressure by more than three full turns to get it to close, this is a bit awkward when the press is hot. After the machine cooled I did the paper test again to find that even after loosening by 3.5 rotations there was still quite a bit of pressure, indicating to me that it was tightened down way to much when received. So, my two complaints regarding this machine are the condition of the cord on a supposedly new machine, and the fact that there is no type of pressure indicator. For items that say you need 100 pounds of pressure, etc, you have no way of knowing if you have it set correctly. Please also know that in tiny print it does say that you must have all original packaging for any type of warranty issue.

I absolutely LOVEEEEE this press. It's so easy to use and works perfectly! Absolutely NO complaints! My heat press prior to this worked 2 weeks and was returned (was a different make) and I got this as replacement and am so happy with it!!!

This is a very nice heat press. Very even temp. The bottom slide is new so a little hard to pull out. So far, I am happy with this product in function. The automatic start timer is nice.This buyer beware comes in as the darn thing ruined my first 5 shirts. A $100 profit loss due to some black lines from the machine itself. There is this nice cover for the bottom that holds the mat in place just great until my first sublimated shirts came out with black lines from somehow being pressed tight against the cool 😎 mat. I adjust a few different things trying to fix what the issues were as there are no actual instructions except for the timer and temperature adjustments (which of course is helpful).Thankfully I had my Teflon sheet from my previous heat press because I need two with this one. I have to cover the cover or my shirts have black lines are ruined and you have to have one on top or your print transfer to your next project.So….Great, but……

I have been using this press for a few months now. I've found the sweet spot to be 330f for 20 seconds. That's the settings I use and it works for everything I have done. I use a folded piece of thick fabric as a "riser" to keep the tee shirt seems out of the way. It helps to get the most even pressure, I think, and of course I keep my pressure as tight as possible. The vinyl really gets imbedded into the fabric. (See photo) This press has already paid for itself.

I only used it two times and I plug it in to use it again and it started heating, did a noise and stop heating. The on/off swichtwas on but the digital timer/temp is off and will not work. I send an e-mail to Fancierstudio but no answer and I can't for the life of meget a hold of some one that could help me. I have tried to find Amazon to help but there is no way to contact them. My heatpress is only 4 months.

I cannot say enough great things about this heat press! I use it for my personalized vinyl business and its been a huge help! The quality is amazing and its so user friendly. I love that it doesn't take up much space and that you can travel with it. Its perfect for heat pressing shirts or anything else that you can lay flat and create.
