Review on 👕 VIVOHOME Industrial Swing Away Clamshell Heat Press Machine: Sublimation Printing for T-Shirt Transfer (15 x 15 Inch) with Free Gloves and Tape by Carla Anderson

This heat press is HUGE and bigger than I thought it would be. It's hard too. It takes up quite a bit of space in my house, but it's worth it. I should mention that before purchasing this machine, I used a regular household steam iron to style my HTV. Now that I've tried this I won't go back to my old steam iron and here's why: 1. Unpack: super easy. The instructions were easy to follow. I was surprised that along with the gloves I received a few samples that I could use immediately. There's also an L-key and a small roll of duct tape. Only at this point I was already impressed.2. Furnishings: You just have to set the timers and you're done. I did notice that it took a while to heat up, but believe me, it's worth the wait.3. Operation: Waiting while the machine is warming up, I place my shirt, complete with the pre-designed designs, on the thick foam rubber supplied. When the device beeps, it is ready to use. Okay, I watched a YouTube video on how to operate this machine and it helped a lot. So that's my first tip. Playing with this I noticed that I can tighten the handle in 2 ways: 1. adjust initially before I put it down, or 2. after lowering the press (see video). I personally like the latter method as I can control how much pressure is needed on it, which is my second tip. After that, all you have to do is remove the plastic wrap and the shirt is done. I like turning the shirt inside out and heating for another 10 seconds to ensure the HTV sticks. Easy! In general there are no complaints!
