I bought the Cricut auto press and it’s been great but I realize I would like a larger platen and pressure controls. Thanks for another fun video 😁

Hi, thanks for asking, but at this point we don't. It's on the list but it still might be a bit. We're in wedding prep mode!

Thank you for the videos. I'm new to heat presses and have been watching different videos to figure out which one I would like to start with. I was considering the Starcraft swing away after watching your video from last year. I was wondering how you would compare that one with the Transfer Pro Plus. I would be curious to see the reasons you might choose one over the other. Although I am a huge cricut user, I'm not impressed with their auto press. Thank you in advance!

Hey there! Great question. The biggest difference between the two presses is the style - one is a clamshell, which is great for cloth and really thin items. The swing away style gives you more versatility in the thickness of materials you can press. If we're working on shirts, sweatshirts, totes, etc, we go for the TransPro Plus. If we're working on sublimation hardboard, we head for the swing away. That being said, ProWorld also has a swing away in their TransPro line (and even one that's 16x20): shrsl.com/3omv9 Hope this helps!

Hey guys, great video. Have you tried using the cricut to heat press onto clear acrylic at all? around 4mm - 5mm thick? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Since you’ve had the 1620 press do you find it hard to adjust the temp and timer? It looks like it would be with the control where it is. I’m getting that one or the Swing away Pro. Thanks for video,

Nomex pad helps with heavy pressure and autopress.

Ah - good to know! Thanks so much. We’ll definitely check that out.

The only thing concerning me about the autopress is that you can not adjust the pressure. But I was wondering .. on high pressure items (like the puffy and the last material you used that didn't peel correct the first time), could you just not adjust the timer to press for a longer period of time? What I am needing it for is cotton baby onesies and regular heat press transfer paper. I do use a medium to high press (360, 20 seconds and about 8 pressure). I have found when I'm impatient and my press has not finished heating up, I can simply press it for about 40 seconds and it peels fine. I currently have a hotronix Fusion (without auto release) and have used it for over a decade. Great press but its now killing my back!

@JustMightDIY

Жыл бұрын

Hey there - we understand the conundrum. Unfortunately, a longer time is not a substitution for correct pressure. Some materials actually react negatively to being heated for too long. There may be ways to tricking the Autopress into a *bit* more pressure like adding pressing pillows of varying densities to see if something like that will give it enough pressure. Though, there’s no telling if something like that will be enough to give you the longevity for items you plan to sell. Hope this helps!

Hi, is the swing away open 360°? I guess it doesn't have pull out draw. Can I change plates on swing away? Thanks

@JustMightDIY

Жыл бұрын

Hey! Different swing aways will have different features. But you’re right that they don’t necessarily need a slide out platen since the heating element swings out of the way. The most we’ve ever needed to swing ours open was 180 degrees. Some do have interchangeable platens.

omg, firstly I am new to the channel and you two are a DELIGHT!!!! Secondly, I am a small bis owner and I am moving into the world of heat presses, I am starting with an EasyPress mini for jewellery case designs but I want to get a heat press next year BUT I live in a flat and I don't have a huge amount of room so when researching heat presses the sizes, storage has been a bit of a worry, especially if I am bringing in sweatshirts and t-shirts to print on from home... the new auto press is starting to look VERY appealing for that and I am definitely going to get a pillow after watching this! But I have a question, I am planning on doing small deisgns all under 40mmx40mm on the left chest and/or sleeves, I am planning on using supacolor do you think the autopress will be ok?! #help

Hello and welcome to our channel! We're SO glad you're here. If you're planning to use the Supacolor transfers for business, we'd honestly recommend getting a heat press that you can adjust the pressure on. While we were able to hack the Autopress to make it work, we wouldn't have business-level confidence in the longetivty of those items. Supacolor transfers really do require HEAVY pressure for best results. Hope this helps!

Hey! Okay - the feet are technically 22.5” d x 9” w (they have a smaller footprint than the machine itself) Total heat press footprint is around 29” d (from back of the machine to the handle on front) x 16” w Our table is 24” d x 52” w We LOVE that table for this heat press, as it’s sturdy, movable, has 2 deep drawers for materials and best of all has an adjustable height, which is SO helpful with this heat press because when it pops open, the handle gets pretty high on a standard table height.
