RoyalPress 15" x 15" Color LED Industrial-Quality Digital Sublimation Heat Transfer Machine T-Shirt Heat Press Machine, 15" x 15", Black

Perfect sizing for large images on the back of a tshirt. On a XL shirt I easily do designs that fit perfectly side to side and from top of shoulders to mid back. Hears quickly and worried about how exact the temp controller was for the heat up speed, but was exact. The timer works great and resets for each pressing by itself when you open and close it. Study and heavy enough that it's not bouncing around when you are trying to lay a shirt in gently without the image shifting, but still just light enough to move it out of the way when not in use. The electrical components are well sealed so no risk of fire or shock.

I read all the reviews on this press before I purchased it. I know it's very affordable for a T-shirt press, but I figured it could be a good starter press. I was tired of ironing my Cricut designs to t-shirts. Especially when I had more intricate designs, it would take forever. So far I've followed the temperatures recommended by the iron on material I'm using and it's worked perfectly! I'm still guessing on the pressure, but just trying to use some common sense. I did decide to add an extra 10 seconds of press after I remove the cover from the Cricut material and that seems to give a little extra bond to the fabric itself. I haven't had a chance to see how many washes they'll survive yet, but so far I am very happy with the product!

Awesome shirt press! The pressure was perfect. I’ve mad over 200 shirts and still going strong. Has fire safety controls in place which is a good peace of mind

It’s been almost 3 years since I bought this for my wife. She says the counter reset after 5000 presses, it now says over 2500 again. With over 7500 presses and 3 years I guess it time to review it. Today I just tightened up the 4 bolts that holds the swiveling adjustment base to the top half of the heat press, they backed out a little. I’d say that’s really d*mn good. Works extremely well, no issues, just had to tighten a few bolts after 7500 use, this thing puts in work.

I bought this "RoyalPress 15" x 15" Color LED Industrial-Quality Digital Sublimation Heat Transfer Machine" heat press for two purposes. First, I wanted to make small quantities of T-shirts using those laser-printable decals, which require a heat press to apply to the shirts. Second, I wanted to use it for the 'thermal toner transfer' scheme of making small quantities of printed circuit boards for electronics projects.I was impressed by the apparent mechanical quality, considering the fairly low price. This machine seems like it is well built, with a couple exceptions in my case (one of two wires entering the control box is missing a grommet where it passes through the sheet metal hole, and a small weld on the main handle was not actually joining two pieces of metal (I re-welded it myself rather than send it back to the seller).The units is large and heavy; it uses a lot of shelf/table space, and needs to rest on a solid surface, especially when whanging down the main handle to close the press. It also needs to have a fairly deep open space above it, as the main handle rises far up when the press is open.The included instructions did not match the control unit that was part of the press I received. However, the instructions did include a link (URL) to a YouTube video where a Chinese woman, who is speaking English but with such poor pronunciation that she is very hard to understand, demonstrates this model in a version that matches the (3-button) control unit that my heat press came with. So I just jotted down what she was demonstrating and made my own user's manual.The control unit (at least the 3-button version my press has) is simple once you finally understand how to use it. It has a large, clear (albeit somewhat dim) color display consisting of three rows of numbers. The top number, which also has the largest size digits, shows the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The same displayed number represents the temperature setting during setup, and then represents the actual operating temperature during use. The middle number is the timer setting in seconds, and this counts down from the setting to zero during each press cycle, followed by a loud beeping alarm when the count down reaches zero; the counter display returns to show the timer setting after the press is opened at the end of a cycle. The third number, and also the smallest of the three, is a simple 'cycle counter'; if you are using the heat press to make shirts, this counter will help you keep track of how many shirts you have made (heat pressed), as it automatically increments at the end of each cycle as the press is opened to remove the shirt, etc. One of the three buttons does double duty by allowing the counter to be reset to zero at the start of the next batch of shirts or whatever.Other indications on the display include small icons that appear to represent the status of the heating elements. I say 'elements' (plural) because there are two such icons, and they seem to indicate independent heating element operation in order to regulate the temperature to the setpoint.The three buttons are "SET" (to enter and exit the Setup mode, and cycle through the presets), UP and DOWN to change whichever preset is currently flashing on the display during setup. The DN button is also used to reset the counter.This heater can be operated from any normal 15A or 20A residential or industrial 120VAC circuit. The heater should be plugged into an outlet that is on its own circuit breaker, as it can a full power draw enough current to preclude anything else using the same circuit at the same time (especially on a 15A circuit).

Great machine

Beware buying this heat press. I ordered one and the digital display was so dim I couldn't set the time and temperature. I returned it and Amazon sent another, and it is only slightly better but still very dim. Since I only use one temp and time setting I'll keep this one. If I wasn't in Alaska I'd more than likely return it too.

I bought this for my wife as she loves using her cricket to cut out vinyl for shirts. This saves a lot of time and headache from having to use a clothes iron to heat up and press on. She has yet to complain about anything on it and we have had zero flaws whatsoever. Please keep in mind we do not use this commercially and I'm sure it is not designed for that type of use and continual back-to-back use on heavy production. But for home use this works great and I can imagine it will last many years.
