HTVRont vs. Heat Press Nation Heat Press  

Awesome presentation comparing the two. I have the HTVRONT heat press and would not recommend it to anyone. The heat press itself is not bad, does a good job. Where the problem lays with the heat press is the lack of support. Trying to contact HTVRONT is one of the worse experiences I ever dealt with. I used their online form, emailed, and many attempts called. No response in all of forms I used to contact them. Left voice messages many times. And for these reasons alone is why I highly recommend to stay away from HTVRONT products. Don’t support companies by buying their products if you can’t get support within a timely manner.

Great comparison on the two machines. I have the HTVRONT and love it. I needed a machine smaller and lighter than my regular heat press to go into my craft room. I had I am just now getting into sublimation and have found that if I need a bit more pressure I just use a ver thin piece of wood or cardboard and it works fine. I don’t find it off putting that so many people complain about the sweatshirt issue. Just turn it sideways and the problem is solved. As far as the limit of time, I haven’t had to press anything longer that 90 seconds so that is not an issue either. I was making car coaster and went thru a dozen blanks before I discovered that to get even pressure I just needed to put a thin shim under my project and the problem was solved. All of my mess ups were really just leaning hoe to use the heat press and now I don’t have any issues at all.

great honest review. thank you x

I'm so new to all of this so this was very helpful! Thank you!

Great tutorial 😃 The signature machine left very vibrant prints and the operational functions hands down the signature gets my vote! The openness are of signature makes the overall experience superior. Thanks for comparison

Thanks for the great video. I was looking to buy the HTVRont, but there seem to be too many limitations. Thanks for your honest assessment.

This was an amazing help! Thank You for doing this video!

I liked the clamshell heat press, the HTV Ront seems to have limitations. I will go with the Clamshell Press. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for such a helpful video as I am in decision mode on these machines.

Hello Courtney, I just started following you on RU-vid and I loved your demo comparison between the two heat press machines. I have the HTVRONT press and I agree with the things you mentioned. I'm wondering what your thought are about maybe pressing the tote bag on the HTVRONT without the pressing pillow. Because the HTVRONT press padding is aleready thick. May the colors would have come out a little better.

I have real bad Arthritis and Osteo so this would be great for me. I only do small stuff so great price and size. Waiting on mine to come

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same same thing with the HTVRONT. Both machines have their place.

Thanks for the comparison review. I am currently using HTVRONT's smaller 10x10 hand press. So this would be a step up for me. I purchased through Kickstarter and am awaiting arrival of my heat press. I questioned not having the variable pressure. I mainly do sublimation and vinyl shirts and hoodies. We'll see if works out for me.

Thank you for this very informative comparison!!! I am searching to buy a heat press, and I've been considering these same two machines. Your presentation is right on time and has helped me tremendously. I currently use my Easy Press 12×12 and mini press. The HTV Ront seems to be what I need and is within my budget as a beginner. I also create mugs and tumblers. What are your thoughts on 5 - or 8-in-1 heat presses? Do you have a link to compare those? Thank you for taking time out to share your expertise, I'm truly grateful! 😊❤️

Here is a hack for doing your tote bags. Turn it so the handles stick out from the side. You can increase the pressure by placing a USPS free shipping box under the mat. Ño cutting needed. The box will stick out the front but is not in the way

Thank you for your tutorial. Where I can find the tote bags blanks please

Turn the tote so the handles are on the side. That works!

There are many tutorials for the HTVront pressure issue. Just add a pressing pillow for more pressure. Problem solved.

Thank you

Thanks for this! I was wondering about the time limit, basically ceramic tiles, plaques, and those types are going to be out of the picture with the HTVront for now. Clamshells seem to be problematic on multiple items, making more pressure at the back versus front when closing. Was really hoping a straight down pressure press would be more product adaptable.

What a great and informative video!! thank you!!!!!!!!!

I’m looking into the HTVRont for sublimation - since it doesn’t allow you to adjust pressure do you think increasing the time would help with the colors for the bag??

Interesting observation so where do get your “pressing pillow“? I own the HTVRONT

The autopress simply does not have enough pressure for alot of things tbh hence it looks more paler and not as crisp

Good video thanks I don’t like any press that you can’t adjust the pressure thanks ❤

Thinking of getting the htvront - do you think the color would turn out better on the htvront if you were to add a little thicker base by changing out the base on the Htvront

Where do your create your sublimation art or suggest sheets?

I saw a video on how to fix the pressure

I’m only doing shirts and hoodies do you think the HTVRONT is good enough? I have a clamshell but it’s not a slide out.

Should I unplug the htvront heat press after a project?

How to get those press out?

Just turn the hoodie side ways it works

Any HTV SAMPLES?

The ones I have bought from Amazon already gives me ghosting

Maybe wearing glove might help
