UPDATE JULY 2024: I DO NOT recommend this tumbler press. In addition to the issues with ghosting discussed and shown in the video, the buttons on the machine do not work well. After a few months of use (maybe 10 tumblers total), the buttons on mine no longer reliably do anything. It take a lot of pressing them from various angles to get them to turn on/do what they're supposed to and it's extremely frustrating. Now, I honestly think your money is better spent elsewhere.

Come along with me, a newbie to tumbler sublimation, as I try out the HTVRont Auto Tumbler Heat Press. It's a very easy machine to use but getting the wrap on the tumbler just right is the key to a great result. I have some great success and some struggles as I get to know this tumbler heat press that I share with you!
Steps to Using the HTVRont Auto Tumbler Heat Press
1. Measure your tumbler blank to determine the correct size for your wrap design.
2. Once printed to size, trim off the excess white around the edges to get a seamless wrap.
3. Clean your tumbler blank with alcohol on a cotton ball or tissue to remove any oil, dust or dirt. Let air dry.
4. Wrap the tumbler blank carefully matching up the side seams and getting good contact between the blank and the printout using heat resistant tape.
5. Plug in the HTVRont Auto Tumbler Heat Press. Set the temperature to 390 degrees F and the time to 90 seconds.
6. Once the heat press is ready, wrap your tumbler in parchment paper and place seam toward the front in the center of the heat press. Push the logo button to start the heating process.
7. Once the 90 seconds counts down to zero and the heat press opens, use heat gloves and carefully turn the tumbler 180 degrees so the seam now faces toward the back. Click the green logo button and heat it for another 90 seconds.
8. After the heat press opens once more, remove the tumbler and parchment paper and set aside to cool completely. Turn the tumbler heat press off.
9. Once completely cool, remove the tape and paper to reveal your result.
10. For additional tips and suggestions on any ghosting problems, please see the video and my blog post for extra suggestions.
Enjoy!

You're a genius. I snipped along the bottom, only way more times than you did. I used your technique with the tape wrapped tightly around the bottom but then I added a thicker tape on top of that tape to fold the tiny snip pieces in place. Then, just to be sure, I taped the bottom and they turned out beautiful. Thanks for the idea! And thanks for sharing..🙂

@BlackSheep303Crafts 9 дней назад

That is fantastic! I am really happy I showed you something that made a difference with your tumblers. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to try the thicker tape trick now too.

Your video is very informative. I have not done sublimation so I have no advice for you but you do take the scariness out of sublimating tumblers.Thank you for doing this tutorial.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! That is always one of my goals with any tutorial.

@kimday844 5 месяцев назад

Personally I think your tumblers turned out great and I like the color going around the bottom edges instead of it being white.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! I do too, just need to work on the strange wrinkly ghosting.

@cdstark116 5 месяцев назад

Great video! I have this tumbler press, and the two things that seem to help with the bottom the most are wrapping the bottom really well and burnishing like crazy (I take a cloth and roll it hard on the cloth at an angle to help burnish) and then after pressing the tumbler completely, putting just the last couple of inches of the tumbler back in the press for an additional 10-20 seconds. That little extra time on the end seems to help get a better image on the bottom.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the great info!! I will definitely try that method next time.

@loretta6010 5 месяцев назад

Elena, these tumblers look amazing! Well done!

@myrawhite9138 28 дней назад

I have made several of the sublimation tumblers that turned out great. The only thing about the tumblers that I don’t like is they don’t keep the drinks cold for long. They are not like the Yeti type of tumblers that keep the ice 🧊 stay for hours and even overnight.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 24 дня назад

I know what you mean. I love the Yeti tumblers that keep the ice for hours and hours. There has to be a stainless steel tumbler that can be used for sublimation that has the same insulating factor out there somewhere. Hopefully I'll find it one day. Fingers crossed!

@arisingphoenix4392 3 месяца назад

Purchased this press in February lots of ghosting and requires entirely too much tape to be successful. Purchased a new press Wednesday of this week and it works perfectly. The new one is a different brand

@BlackSheep303Crafts 2 месяца назад

Are you willing to share which one you purchased? I and others would love to know, especially since you aren't having the ghosting issue. Thanks!

@dianegreen1545 5 месяцев назад

I think your tumblers are great. I agree with you-not liking the missing color around the bottom. I can't wait to set my sublimation printer up and starting my sublimating journey.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! I have to warn you, sublimation is kind of addictive...lol!

@annekeschep8148 5 месяцев назад

First time I see the process, hmmm interesting👍 When you use a measuring tape like that, make sure to check it from time to time if it did not stretch; over time these tapes tend to stretch a bit. I know mine did…

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Good point! I did have to try printing out the design several times (with regular ink and paper) to get the diameter just right. I had to view the fabric measuring tape as more of a starting point than an exact measurement. I'll keep an eye on the stretching - hadn't thought of that. Thanks!!

@cooktoy1 5 месяцев назад

I love those tumblers, you did a great job. I have seen people selling them with a way bigger gap on the seam. Yours are amazing. Sorry no tips on wrapping, as I have not taken the plunge into subbing tumblers.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! Good to know mine aren't too bad. 8-)

@theJenhha99 3 месяца назад

I watched a taping video on industrial fringe yt channel and I used that for my first tumbler on my htvront tumbler press and my top and bottom were perfect. My Seam wasn't matched great but there was absolutely no ghosting. It was a very clean seam that did not meet up lol. But top and bottom are perfect on my very first ever tumbler.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much for sharing this. I will definitely check it out.

@theJenhha99 3 месяца назад

@BlackSheep303Crafts yw. I think I've also learned through watching yt.... that on the htvront that maybe a little higher heat and a tiny bit higher time...I did 390 at 90 and 90 on that tumbler (so far the only one I've done) and like I said it was absolutely perfect other then the seam which was my fault and me just learning how to do things.... not the equipments fault. I am going to try the next one at 390 and 180 seconds with no turn and see what happens.... but I'm nervous... I'm terrified of fires, so putting something into something that hot for too long scares me. But I watched a video and they did it and it was fine, and there were no issues whatsoever

@theJenhha99 3 месяца назад

Oh, I forgot....I also wanted to say that I watched a yt video....I can not for the life of me remember which one because it wasn't like just today, lol.... but the person was having the typical issues people keep complaining of with the htvront, so they reached out to the company about it, and they had recommended a time and temp... which is where I came up with the 390 at 90 and 90.... the company told her 180 seconds continuous press, but I was too scared for my very first tumbler to do that since literally everyone else turns halfway through.... but.... they all have a press that does not close all the way also.... this one literally closes completely. The 180 second press worked great on the channel, and she had no issues that she had previously been having....ghosting and top and bottom edge issues.... it turned out perfect.... so that's where I came up with my time and temp. That, combined with the taping video, is what I contribute to (what I'm going to call successful), first tumbler being a success on a press that everyone else is having issues with. Enough heat, not too much or too little time, and a good tape job....I feel like that is the success with this press, and I'm glad I chose this press. I have autoimmune issues and a lot of pain, especially in my hands with swelling, and it affects my grip and strength sometimes... that's why I chose this press for my first (and hopefully only) press. I was going to get a cheaper one that you had to put more physical work into (like turning halfway through and physically having to adjust the pressure and pull the handle down) but I told my husband about this one and the perks and the disadvantages that others were having issues with and he told me to spend the little extra money (it was on sale and was only like $10 or so higher then the other press, lol) on what would make my life easier. He felt that it being pretty much fully automatic was a huge plus for me and worth the little extra money..... and I agree 100% with him, lol

@ehodge54 5 месяцев назад

Great video! A question of the video: how do you speed it up? I have an iPhone, but haven't figured out if I need an app to do the speed up, thank you.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

I edit in Filmora and it has a setting where you can speed up sections really easily. I would think iMovie or whatever editor iphones use would have something similar. You just have to make an edit at the beginning of where you want the speed up to start and the end and then set the speed time (like 2x, 4x, etc.) in Filmora. It's probably a matter of doing a search specifically on speeding up or slowing down a video clip on an iphone maybe?

@janeliquore7419 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for this demonstration. It was very informative and I do love the way your tumblers turned out. I was wondering about the tumbler press. Does it only do mugs and tumblers with one dimension? There are such a variety of dimensions (especially on tumblers. Mugs probably have fewer.)

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thanks!! It can definitely do more than one width of tumblers and mugs but there is a limit. The opening is about 3.35" max in diameter so things have to be thinner than that. The manual says it can go as small as 2.9" in diameter - not a huge range in sizes. The longest height would be 9" (according to the manual) although I wonder if you could do something taller and just flip it around to do the part that sticks out of the machine on a second heating. Maybe I'll try it sometime.

@corrier5954 5 месяцев назад

Those are sooo nice👍👍 thank you. I think tumbler press is too limiting, as in sizes that would fit.

@BlackSheep303Crafts 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! There is a small size range (about 2.9" - 3.35" in diameter) so I'll be curious to see what all it can do. It seems like it's more limited than a more general clamshell one but I'm going to try mugs and glass 'cans' too to see how far I can take it.

@staticx182 2 дня назад

Exactly that is the temperature and time it should take for black colors?

@BlackSheep303Crafts 2 дня назад

Time and temperature settings are largely determined by the substrate you are sublimating on to, like the stainless steel tumbler in this video. Without knowing that, I can't give you time and temperature settings. But, as I show in the video, the booklet that comes with the machine gives you settings based on the substrate. Also, the color of the material/sublimation design doesn't make a difference so once you know the settings for your substrate, you are good to go. Here's a blog post from HTVRont that should help: www.htvront.com/blogs/beginners-guide-precautions/tumbler-press-time-and-temp I hope that helps!
