This is a awesome first video. Very helpful. I have this press and i did my first one today and it cracked in the edge. I can glue it. Not sure what i did wrong
Bellissimo video.....anche io ho comprato la stessa pressa peccato che quando stampo queste cornici a me rimane un alone come una macchia nel mezzo della pietra ne ho buttate via 6....le ho rifatte con la mia vecchia pressa e sono venute perfette.....sono un po delusa credevo che con questa macchina riuscissi a fare tutto meglio essendo anche automatica :-(
Thank you for sharing this information! It's my first time sublimating a slate and this video is priceless to me! My slate turned out FANTASTIC! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you so much for your video. I recently got my HTVRont Auto Press and needed instructions on how to use it for slate. It turned out great! I did notice now I have a square indent on the heat pad that came with the machine. Will that go away? Can I fix it somehow?? HELP!!!
Congratulations on your great slate! And yes, as you continue to press more things, it'll go away, but other things will create indents and go away, etc. You can also flip the pad over ever so often. HTVRONT also sells replacement pads but I'm still using the same original one. And I also turn the slate horizontal sometimes and vertical sometimes on the pad.
Thank you. Just got the same machine and I have been looking for this video!!! I wasn't sure if slate could go in and if so all the questions were asked. Thanks
I just wanted to thank you for this amazing video. I have been having trouble sublimating on slates and using my htvront auto press. Everyone seemed to have different ideas and unfortunately I ruined at least six slates before I found your video! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!!!!
Hi! This was a great video! Can you give me the times and temp you use for your ceramics. I’ve been having trouble with ghosting and blowout. Maybe I need extra pressure? I’m frustrated and looking for some advice. 😊
Thank you so much!! I just purchased some slate and the Cricut autopress so excited to give this a try! You are so easy to watch and very enthusiastic. Loved watching your video!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I have made several slates and they have all had to be touched up one way or another. The customers love them but I know if something isn't as good as it could be. I purchased this press hoping it would work better. Following your direction I have just made my first perfect slate!!!!

Great job for first video. Inspiring. If paper is sticking I found it was that I pressed too long at too high. So either lower temp for same time or sake tem0 for less time.
Love this! Your enthusiasm is so contagious ... now I need to order slates as well! How did you make certain that the picture is completely covering the sublimation part of the slate? I'm guessing that you peeked as you folded the paper and taped it. I'm also wondering why you put a piece of paper on top of the back of the slate before pressing. Thanks for a great first video!
And forgot, since I made the picture a little bigger and folded it, I placed an extra sheet behind it in case of blowback. I didn't want to mess up the top of the press. More of a just in case. :)
