Thank you for your video, I have a different press than the ones in the video but this really helped me out. I did realize I didn't have any parchment paper & had to use copy paper but my first cup came out great!
I just got mine today and it worked great however the settings are a bit confusing but I'm just as happy 😁. I been watching your videos nonstop and enjoy every one!
I recently got a tumbler press and love it so far! But I’m still watching every video I can find, and really appreciate yours!! Very clear and helpful - thanks!
@@deborahknapp5524 great question - I can’t answer because I’ve actually forgotten. I went back and looked at some videos I made about it, and I wouldn’t even list the company name because their customer service was awful. However, I did end up getting a much smaller one recently that I really like, it’s called a Hitprex.
Love your videos. Very thorough and love the technical details you provide. I just purchased a similar mug press from Heat Press Nation. It comes with different attachments for various size mugs and tumblers. There is even an attachment for a shot glass.
I purchased a variation of this tumbler press in April and I absolutely love it! Ir is super easy to set and it does a fantastic job of sublimating. Now if it would just anticipate user errors before the occur! Thank you for all your awesome videos.
Am I the only one who finds the settings panel complicated and confusing? Also, the fact that there’s no beep or indicating sound that the time has elapsed sends warning bells (ironic, huh?) that over processing is going to happen. I’m not sure what that would do to your project but it doesn’t fill me with confidence that I would be successful 🥺. I’m also concerned that a manual adjustment is necessary for different sized mugs or tumblers. I’m thinking this press is much too complex for me (a very occasional crafter) therefore, I think I’ll stick with the Cricut mug press. Thank you for the demo of the tumbler press. It was very informative and you saved me some money. Again, thank you.
@@AngieHolden And everything that you mentioned was much appreciated, especially for the reasons that the other person mentioned. Everyone is def different and what is complicated for some, might not be for others. I did not see any of if being complexed, but I def would want an alarm when it is done, because as a mom, we can get busy or distracted very easily :). Thank you for a wonderful description.
After spending a collective 20 something hours searching for a 30 oz mug press you have FINALLY sealed my decision!!! TY for the great tutorial and supply list. hopefully I will be as successful as you were :)
I just purchased this tumbler press. I have one I purchased in China and it came with 0 directions, and can not get it to work. 🙏 This one will work for me too. I will let you know how it goes.❤️ Thank you so much for your videos I believe I will soon be able to do successfully because of your guidance.
Finally got my hands on the PYD Life tumbler Press from your link. They had 2 versions so I chose the V3 which is the updated version of the one you showcased in this video. I couldn't be happier and it printer a sublimation mug perfectly the first time out following all of your directions. Now onto tumblers. Thank you so much for this video and for encouraging us to try this. I had already sent another brand back to the supplier as I had wasted so many blanks so I am a very happy PYD Life customer!!
@@lauracooper4877 I have not had any heating issues with 2 mugs at a time or my tumblers. I do make a half turn after pressing and then press again with the tumblers just like Angie did on her video. They all come put perfectly. Sorry you are having issues. Very frustrating as I had to return another tumbler press from another company because of this kind of issue.
@@lisayoung3737 not yet unfortunately, but I also haven't had time to really play with it. I'm really only having issues with the 30 Oz, which are longer. Recently i read in the pyd life manual that due to how the heating element is inside, the last 1/2 inch or so on left and right (can't remember the exact measurement) doesn't get as hot, so I figure I probably need to do more rotations and press each end longer. Hope that makes sense!
And do not put a single mug in the middle. It will not get enough pressure to sublimate correctly. If anything have a spare mug and put it on the other side if you have just one mug. This worked for me.
I´ve been looking for that or a similar tumbler press here in Germany but unfortunately it´s impossible to get one with (at least within the EU) about the size of the described one on the video. Therefore I ordered as an alternativ machine the VEVOR 6800 from GB (which isn´t EU either) with is completely closed and can sublimate tumblers up to 28 cm (11") height and almost 10 cm in diameter (almost 4 inch). The only disadvantage I realized so far is the fact that You cannot sublimate any cans oder tumblers or mugs with any plastic parts attached, ´cause it goes completely into the machine with all parts heated up to the desired temperature.
hi, I just ordered this machine I get it tomorrow. Have you ever used a laser engraver you should try one out you are very creative I am sure you would make cool things with it.
Hi Angie, just received my Ecotank printer after 2 years of watching your videos!!! Now I'm looking for a mug/tumbler press. Can you recommend a good one that won't break my bank?? I'm wanting to start a small business but moving very slow, I want to make one time purchases and not panic. Your videos have given me the courage to take the leap!! TIA for any help you can offer.
I just bought this press. I'm having major issues getting my tops to look good. I keep getting white spots with no ink. After watching your video, I don't think I'm using enough pressure. I'm going to tighten the pressure and make a tumbler tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes my issue.
I adjusted the pressure and that did not help. I'm returning the press and sticking with my convention oven. My oven gives me perfect tops and bottoms.
There are some tumbler presses that come with coils for tapered items but they would be very specific. I find it easier to just do that type of thing in my oven and not try to buy more accessories for the press.
Do you prefer the tumbler press, mug press or convection oven? I am trying to decide if buying a sublimation oven is better than the mu r tumbler press.
Halloween design was from Creative Fabrica I think. I did print it on my sublimation printer. You will not be able to print large enough from Cricut Design Space for a tumbler like that however.
Thank you so much for your video. I have an Elite Tumbler Heat Press, but I think it would be the same. Can we use Cricut Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet? My first items will be the skinny 12 oz wine tumblers.
My man got me a tumbler press but I'm trying to figure out if I can do mugs that go small on bottom and big on top, or shot glasses without a conical. Do you know if there is a trick, it looks like yours.
All of a sudden my pyd life press is ghosting at the tops. I don't get it. Nothing is different. Preparing and pressing same way. I'm frustrated bc they were coming out perfectly before. It's really more on one side than the other.
hello Angie I am trying to find a tumbler press that has a 1.5 oz shot glass attachment does this perss have that? or do you know of one that you can recommend
hi I know I asked before about heat temp the lady I bought my tumblers from said she does 315 another lady asked told me 400 I did the 400 came out a little too speckled but good so I see you do 356 what blanks company do you use I know you said the temp goes by the blank manufacturer please help sorry to be a pain also I like how in your vid you don't wrap the top just tape for security awesome
I just purchased my tumbler press and when I press my tumbler. The first 2 tumblers I had to much pressure and I bent the tumblers LOL! I wish I would of saw this video before. Very informative! The paper also stuck to the tumbler and I had to use water to wash it off. I press at 365 for 70 seconds. I have the HPNation signature tumbler press that is there recommendations for pressing tumblers. Can you please tell me why my Paper is sticking and pulling off the white sublimation off the cup. HELP I want to be successful craft! 🤦♀😭😭😭
I am guessing not enough time or temperature. But it could be a wide variety of things. Start here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LYj0vS9lOhs.html
Hi, PYD Life has 2 different mug presses. The one you're demonstrating is the V2.0. There's also a V3.0. Is there a difference besides the price? Thank you
I need help. I have the pyd tumbler press. It worked perfect for my first mug. The second one was fine on the top half and the black was faded and brown on the bottom half. The third one was all faded brown instead of being black. I’ve tried many variations and they are still coming out faded. I’m using the recommended settings of 120 seconds at 356. I tried more time. And then I tried less heat at 300. Still the same results. Any idea?
Question. We are using the same pyd press. 350-50-50 and keep getting a pinkish result on all of our tumblers. Some have said either to hot or to long. Using A-sub ink and paper.
Do you need to do anything to the tumblers after your done? Like coat them with anything or are they just good to go after pressing, and ok to wash and not destroy the project. New and watching videos before I start.
I am having tape impressions, that is going through my A-sub 125g paper. I'm not sure what might be causing this. I am using Tumbler Press PYD. I have used PYD tape, yellow tape and the cricut tape. I'v used the range of 350ºF- 360º 50-65sec/flip 50-60sec again.I have tried light and medium press. I don't even have a seam showing just the darn tape line that is going through the sublimation paper. What might be causing tape impressions, any suggestions? :|
Love the video , I went through it a few times . When I get to the end to set temp it goes to 5P. The out does not light up. Do you have any idea what I may of done wrong. Machine just in today.
My tumblers are showing tape lines using this press. (Never had them when I used an oven) Any thoughts?? I've tried tightening the press and loosening it without improvement.
I have a video comparing the mug press to an oven: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sgH7HzWRi7c.html and I don't cool my tumblers at all.
Angie, HELP!!! I’m having a terrible time sublimating tumblers. I started slow with an EP printer, A-sub paper, Hippoo ink & an oven & had some success. I ordered a case of tumblers from Craft Haven & the results weren’t as good in the oven. I want to do this regularly so I invested in a tumbler press. I’m using the same printer, ink & paper, wrapping the tumblers as tightly as I can & the results are horrible. Craft Haven recommended 360-375 for 60 seconds & I have the pressure set pretty tightly. I’ve tried varying temps within the range that they suggested, but the print on the dark blue logos I’m doing come out looking like someone took sandpaper to them. I’m running out of tumblers AND patience, & my friend really needs these tumblers. What should I do?
Great video! I'm barely starting looking into doing this as a business. Quick question: what printer do you use to print these prints for sublimation? I need all the help I can get! TIA
Hi. I am new with tumblerpress and never used before. Can you let me know do we Need sublimation printer and print on sublimation paper everytime. If yes, is there a cheaper option
I’m looking into buying a tumbler/mug heat press and have been looking at reviews however I was going to buy this one but they are currently unavailable 😭 any suggestions on the next best tumbler/mug heat press??
Hi i have the same pyd press. the only places i have issues with are the top and bottom it burns no matter if i tape or not. Is it too tight on these areas ? I can't afford to ruin any more tumblers. Btw they are 20 oz tumblers. Can you possibly help on the adjustments ? Thank You
I have not had that issue. I would back off of the pressure and maybe lower the temperature some. I am also wondering if it is your tumblers and if they are thicker or thinner in that area.
When I was reading the manual it says 400/60 seconds but I notice you did 360/50 seconds and twice. Did you lower to compensate not burning so you can turn it?
I always get my time and temperature from the sublimation blank. The manual just gives you a general idea for all tumblers but to be more specific you will want to check on your blank.
For the rim, I run it all the way up and leave some extra. The bottom is trickier. I like to find a place to stop it so yes there it a white line there. If you don't want that, then you would extend the print and tape down really well.
Angie, My time/seconds won't count down when I shut my press, can you help me figure out how to make it count down? I can't figure out how to change it to "out"... Thanks so much, Jamie
I am having trouble with the edges of my tumblers. I don't care how tight I wrap and tape the tops and bottoms of mine, they aren't coming out good and solid, they always have spots where the ink didn't take. do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm getting ready to throw my press out the window!
