I'm considering getting this to design my own mugs to use at my pizza restaurant, and after watching this, I could also sell them. I love all the different sizes and shapes. Watching from WI.
Hi! So freustrated. Every time I press mine, the black comes out as brown, colors faded. Im using the correct settings; so do you think it could be the pressure? Please help!
Hi Beria, Sorry to hear that. Usually when blacks are turning brown, that means the ink is burning. Our settings are a suggestion and may need to be adjusted for different situations. I would recommend lowering your temperature and/or time to adjust for this. If you purchased your tumbler press from us, feel free to send pics of your failed transfers to support@heatpressnation.com. One of our Tech Support team members can take a look and make a more specific/detailed suggestion for how to get better results.
Hi there! The tumbler attachment for this press will accommodate 12-30oz tumblers. Currently, there is no attachment for this machine for larger tumblers.
Just got mine in today. I used it for the first time and it works awesome!I have a bit of ghosting on the top of the tumbler so I think my pressure is off. The only issue I have with the press is that is stinks like a bit on the fishy side. I had another press a cheap one and it was the same thing but way worse. What causes that smell? Any way I can make it go away or will it linger on?
It is normal for mug presses/sublimation to have a smell, often described as a fish smell like you mentioned. Typically after using the press a few times it will go away, but we recommend always pressing in a well ventilated area :)
Hi there! Our CraftPro mug and tumbler press uses the same quality attachments as our Signature Series press. The main difference would be that the CraftPro does not accommodate additional attachments, whereas the Signature Series can (shot glasses, latte mugs, waterbottles, etc). Hope this helps!
Hi Joe! It would depend on the types of tumblers you are working with. We have found that every manufacturer produces them at different dimensions, so we recommend going off their recommended sizes.
Sorry to hear that! Usually it will take a few mugs to get the hang of it. But we're happy to help get you pressing like a pro. Please email photos of your failed mugs to support@heatpressnation.com. Be sure to include your time & temperature settings and any other info you think might be helpful.
Hi Paulette! The transfer size would depend on the tumbler as not all of them are the same size. We recommend checking the dimensions with your manufacturer.
It depends - If you want to do just straight mugs and tumblers, the CraftPro would be fine. But if you wanted to expand into waterbottles, latte mugs, flasks, shot glasses and other specialty drinkware, then the 7 in 1 is best :)
Hi there! The Signature Series has a 4 point pressure adjustment system while the CraftPro only has 2. This means that the CraftPro would not be able to accommodate other attachments, specifically tapered, like the Signature Series does.
