RoyalPress Heat Press 12" x 15" Color LED 360-degree Rotation 30OZ Mug Professional Sublimation Heat Transfer Multifunction Combo Heat Press Machine Mug/Plate/T-Shirt Black (12"x15" 3 in 1)

This is a good heat press I like it I'm a new beginner and sublimation and it works for me.

Bought mainly for the press but all of it is awesome! Great value and functionality. Takes up a decent bit of space but definitely worth it. Easy to use!

This was a gift from my mom for me to launch a creative endeavor and so far I love it. The shirt press works fantastic. The timer unit has its own personality, but that’s okay, so do I, we just needed some time to get acquainted and I learned to touch her gently if I want her to work well lol. Again, I can relate to this, so take some time getting to know your press and it will start to work with you if you are having any issues with the buttons (soft touch works best). For the mug press there was more of a learning curve, and because solid surface mugs go in cold, your mug press temperature will drop, perhaps even quite significantly. After scouring the internet to figure out either what I was doing wrong, or what was wrong with my mug press, I came to discover this seems to be typical of even expensive presses due to the core temperature of the item you are placing into the press (hello middle school science, so nice to see you in the real world. Perhaps I should have stayed awake and I would have figured this out sooner haha) anyway, all over forums people said you have to figure out what works for you so that’s what I did. Plan to buy some mugs to experiment with. I’ve done vinyl on mugs which works really, really well but not good if you plan to sell them because it’s not dishwasher safe and you know they’re going to put it in the dishwasher after you tell them not to and then complain - you know it, I know it, they know it lol. But it did work great even with layers of different color vinyl actually. Then I tried Cricut sublimation ink sheets on what are supposed to be sublimation mugs and failed bigly, however there are several things that may have caused this issue - not cleaning the mug with the right solution (you should use regular rubbing alcohol and I had higher strength which I feel may have affected the sublimation coating), I ordered the sublimation mugs from Amazon and there is always a chance they weren’t actual sublimation mugs because I mean, who knows, people get shipped the wrong stuff all the time, last is of course the time-to-temperature issue may be a factor. So again, I will continue to experiment with this and feel like it’s probably me and not the machine, and eventually we will come to terms we can agree on and work together lol. I have the other attachments for future use as I don’t currently need them. The presses attach and detach from the timer unit fairly easily, however it would be great if the unit came with a small multi tool to assist here. That one complaint. My other gripe is there was some oil or something on the bottom of the feet of the press and I set it on the floor ON BRAND NEW BEIGE CARPET and it left LITTLE CIRCLE STAINS WHERE THE FEET WERE which is great big bummer, so I’m taking a star off for that, and warning y’all not to set it down on anything you actually care about staying clean that may get stained. The swing away feature is great and feels much safer than a lift up press, however please note you will need a lot of room for the thing to swing all the way around so it is out of the way for your shirts or whatever you are placing in the press. I have mine on an Elfa rolling shelf thing (container store) that is very sturdy that I can roll away from the wall while I’m using it. I never roll it while on of course, and skinny slide out storage bins below are perfect for your vinyl and sublimation paper/sheets and I store the attachments safely in a large drawer at the bottom. I recommend a unit like this to keep your set up neat and tidy and to allow for it to be away from the wall when in use, just make sure to get a heavy duty unit for safety and stability especially if your area is carpeted like mine. You don’t want to swing around the hot press and have it fall over. I’ve added photos of the carpet stains (boooo!) and the shirt press on the Elfa unit (where you can see more feet stains where I’ve moved it’s position, those will clean off, but the carpet did not). The mug is two layers of vinyl. The sweatshirt is three layers of vinyl on a cheap fruit of the loom 50/50 poly/cotton. The tshirt is one layer of vinyl on 100% cotton. Also as a side note after much experimentation, I only use Siser vinyl. It is the best and most consistent quality for professional level finish. I have various success with other vinyl, but if you are looking to sell your items, spring for the best stuff, your paying customers will appreciate you for it. And it makes my work easy with a flawless finish and accurate temp-to-time no matter the substrate, saves me frustration and expensive do-overs. I also design all my original work in Adobe illustrator and use a Cricut Maker for cutting the designs (it’s like magic!). This heat press package was the perfect compliment! Have fun creating!

Purchased Oct 2020 Review written August 2023 I’ve had this thing for a WHILE and have used the heck out of it. When I bought this it also came with a hat press which I never used. I’ve never used the attachments for it bc frankly I just needed a flat press and this one is great. It’s not fancy. The timer is consistent. The heat is pretty darn close when tested with a temp gun. The results are great. I’ve done vinyl, puff vinyl, dtf, tons of sublimation. I even use it to press quilt pieces before assembling, and for adding stabilizers to fabric. They’ve all come out great. It’s a good purchase if you’re getting started. Mine is a swing, not a clamshell. I chose that intentionally and honestly that’s my only regret. The swing works fine but for the space I have it in NOW, clamshell would have been more convenient.

I literally started my company 5 days back using this machine. The precision and warmth it provides helps execute my projects all the time. It’s easy to use even though the manual Isn’t that user friendly. It’s good though, already made 100 shirts within a 3 day span. I recommend not staying within the heat press too long or have air circulation, the heat it gives off gets me a little dizzy sometimes. But, overall great machine for the price!

Stay far away from this product Let me start by saying I’m an experienced electrician. The first time this unit was turned on, it electrocuted my wife and my 11 year old son. The wiring was an absolute mess and I’m being kind. The neutral(common) wire was fused on the bottom side, power wire from the plus to the top side of the fuse. The power to the heating elements was wire nutted with the ground screw, which instantly blew the beating elements out. Heating elements are also not fused which is a hazard in itself. There were 3 points on the control box that showed an arch, all of which was the result of running the ground wire with the power wire. This thing is a fire and shock hazard waiting to happen and I will be calling Amazon and the manufacturer until they can tell me why it was let out of the factory this way. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

This is such an amazing heat press. Great quality and don’t shut off or bind up it is a perfect size for shirts and don’t create hardly any noise. This is completely worth the money I have purchased other ones and I keep coming back to this one because it is outstanding. It is as safe and it can be for a heat press it does have a clap down that way you can just stick your hand to it but it will still be hot no matter what. Amazing product for sure!

Three times I’ve tried to write the review and it keeps getting deleted Before it will submit. I uploaded a video. First off, It’s all right for a shirt press, not too bad starting out, it worked for me for the first 112 clothing items that I pressed; if you have the space for a swing away. Note that even with enough space, it’s still a little tricky to get anything bigger than a T-shirt laid out flat without having to be cautious of burning yourself. As for the attachments, I can’t speak for anything but the hat press yet. After the struggle there, I don’t even want to try the others. See attached video. It appears as though when it was painted, it was put together and baked or some thing after driving with the screws in it. We had to cut a piece of the plate off just to get the screw out. The center screws, there’s two, they are used to hold the attachments. One screw wouldn’t budge. The screw Is completely practically welded in there and will not come out. Which should’ve been less than 10 or 20 minutes to change the heat plate to the hat press turned into almost 2 hours. The hat press doesn’t lineup, more pressure in the back than the front. You have to keep raising and lowering it so that it doesn’t tear up the design on the hat and will actually swing away. I ruined one image because of that. It only does the five panel hats because of the cushion I assume. The six panel hat got creases along the sides of the center seam. And ruined that hat. Because of the round design that is used to hold the heat plate as well as the other parts, you can’t get the broom to close to sit properly. The whole design is not functional for the attachments. Even with one screw holding down the plate for the hat press, it wouldn’t screw down completely either way. The screws that they give you for that are too short on top of everything else. The four screws that hold the plate to the attachment for the hat press, don’t line up with the round part that is the pressure plate. FYI; it is actually 11.5 x 15” Most cutting mats are only 12 inches wide, and the design can only be cut 11.5 x 11.5”. Which I can’t get a full design in one press so it requires two to get one design on that is more than 10.5 inches which is frustrating sometimes. There’s flaws in the design like many other things. If you’re looking to do a hat press bu it by itself, this is not the machine for that with the way it is designed. Save your money and buy just the heat press, and a separate press For hats. I just had to order a stand alone due to issues. It works to press decals on the masks but horrible for hats
