Just got this heat press a couple weeks ago and I love it.
I have the same press and love it! My husband and I have implemented everything you have mentioned over the last 10months and will open our online store over the next 2 weeks. As always thanks Brandoh for taking time to share your knowledge and keeping it real! Sending positive vibes and blessing to you and your beautiful family.
i appreciate that. good luck with your new business!
That's a great press! I love the drawer or swing away presses. Knuckle burn is REAL!
Good seeing you doing new videos my man! 😉
Just copped the exact press because of this review! Much respect homie! 100
Just purchased the basic slide out drawer from the series before they run out lol. Had the MPress less than 2 months and wanted this since day 1. Thanks for all you do Big Brandoh!
thats right!!! no more workin under the heat for you brotha! 👊🏾💯👊🏾
Just ordered this press. I've been working with a Fancierstudio 15x15 for the past year, it was my first heat press. Time to step it up!
I just ordered the same machine as you. For two reasons, 1. you are straight to the point with your lessons. 2. you are the only one that said how many years you have had your machine. Most RUclipsrs are saying ( I have the machine for a little while. few years, short time) ( or if you can get the more expensive one, do it) I have only seen 3 of your shows so far, but I will be looking into as many as I can in my spare time
hahaaa i appreciate that. i never recommend buying the most expensive equipment. everything has its place and need. Hotronix and DK's are good machines but really made for high production. Sig Series by HPN is a great all around machine. can handle high volume with great useful features and doesnt break the bank.
i always feel like you can always upgrade later after you've made some money with your current heat press. thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video! Perfect timing as I am searching the market for my FIRST press.
i would recommend this press to anyone if it fits your budget. nothing wrong with getting something cheaper in price and then upgrading later down the road after you made some money with it. good luck with your new business
Good video, just bought one too without the auto opener. Good review.
AWESOME video my friend! To the point! Thanks for what you do with informing people.. it helped me greatly!
Another great review, always direct and to the point. Thank you.
thanks for watching
Thank you for this video! I design tumblers and wine glasses, but I want to do more!?I’am new to sublimation and HTV. I started out with a easypress2 to see if I wanted to get serious with the craft. I wanted a clamshell because doesn’t take up too much space. I worried about burning my hands! This is what I have been looking for! Peeped a few of your videos! You are down to earth, to the point and informative! Thanks again!
i appreciate that... Thanks for watching... I face the same challenge when it comes to space, Having the slide out drawer helps alot. The Sig Series is great. i've had it for years with no issues. also check out the Craft Pro. i have links for both in my description box. both have slide out drawers.
I like the Craft pro. Will be purchasing that one!
Good looking out Brandoh
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Thanks for watching!
Def going to grab this one now! Good look
good choice!!!
Thank You for sharing! 🙏🏼
How do you adjust the tension (pressure) on the press? I bought the HPN Signature series but I did not get the one with the pressure gage. How do you make sure you get the same pressure every time. I have been counting the turns of the pressure knob to be consistent but of course that changes every time you change to a different material. Also, do you ever have problems with the auto close not staying closed. Sometimes, mine pops back open right after i close it long before the timer should release it. I then have to decrease pressure until it will stay shut. Thanks for all the videos.
Good useful info. Enjoyed the video!Thanks again for sharing👍🏾
i appreciate it!
Big Brandoh! Tight video man, really appreciate these. How much higher quality would you said the signature series is compared to the craft pro? Leaning towards just spending the extra for the better model, but wanted to hear your thoughts since you've used both. Thanks for all you do and keep killing it!
it comes down to features. Signature Series has a threadable slide out drawer and auto open option. Craft Pro doesnt have these features.
both presses are made of good quality and produce solid even presses.
i've had my sig series for years and have put thousands on top of thousands of shirts thru that press with no issues. its a beast.
whatever fits your budget. they are both great presses and you wont be disappointed. check the links in my description.
Dope info everytime. Gracias hermano
thanks for watching
Big shout out to Gardena!
Thanks for the review
thanks for watching
Appreciate the info my braddah! I🤙🏽
Hey Brandoh. How is this press different, better or worse when compared to the Craftpro? I'm torn between the two. Thanks.
it comes down to production... will you be pressing 100+ shirts a night or a dozen shirts a night?
The sig series is made for high production volume. thats the main difference between the two. both have slide out drawers both made by HPN. similar on paper. but it all comes down to being honest with yourself on your production. if you are just getting started, you dont know your production flow yet but we all like to dream that business will boom right out the gate and we need a high production press. But thats not the case, it would be over kill to buy a sig series and only use it once or twice a week. saving the money and buying the craftpro would be the best option of just starting out. use the extra money for more blank shirts or more vinyl. you can always upgrade later sown the road as you make money and figure out your production needs. if business doesnt boom like you anticipate, at least you didnt drop a budget on the sig series. get me?
@@BigBrandoh THANK YOU! My thoughts exactly.
Nice!!. Great info.. im looking forward to getting one myself the same machine soon. Getting started with some home projects. Quick question.. on the HPN site.. how important is purchasing the “my expert protection” plan.. is it worth it, or bypass the plan and go with manufactures warranty.. whats your personal thoughts?.. looking forward to hearing you out..keep up the great work big brother.. peace
i've had my press for YEARS!!! never had any issues with it. i dont have the protection plan.
Great video!! Can you tell me if there is an obnoxious beep when the timer is up? Is it like a long one or a quick I'm done? I work on my shirts at night after kids are asleep. Don't want to wake the kiddos up. I'm pretty much sold on this one because of how well you speak about it. Thanks for sharing!
i believe it beeps 3 times, but when i press im watching the count down and never let it get past the first beep. hahahaa
@@BigBrandoh haha ok thanks!! Appreciate you!
@@BigBrandoh Which platen cover did you purchase for the lower? No need for an upper since you use the teflon sheet correct?
Thanks for your vids bro
Hello,
What do you use to wipe your press with? Thanks again for this video.
Thank you for your video. Have you tried to do any work on ceramic tile ? tks! :)
no i have never worked on ceramic tile. sorry.
Thank u for the video brotha.! Jus ordered my press today... Had a quick question tho I see u have a black cover over the slide out drawer... Is that something that comes with the press or is that purchased separate? Thank u for everything you do and all the grate content..! If it wasn't for your videos I would be lost so Thank u bro!
it came with my press. all it does is keeps the rubber pad on the bottom from sliding around. you can also buy them too. its a lower platen cover.
@@BigBrandoh ok cool thank u... You the man thank u I appreciate it.
great videos bro, what the difference between the 15x15 craft pro & the signature series?????
from my understanding, it comes down to production. Sig Series is good for high volume pressing (50-150 shirts back to back no stopping type of volume) Craft Pro is made for smaller runs, low quantity pressing (5-25 shirts back to back)
its like whats the difference between a toyota Sienna mini van or a Toyota 4Runner. they both do the same thing but made for different situations.
@@BigBrandohthanks I love what ur doing sharing the knowledge, hopefully after u get my heat press we can build more
@@BigBrandohwhat is a better option vinyl or plastiol?
When you gonna do some lunch time q and a? Always good info
busy week. should be back doing Live Sessions next week!
hi, just curious if I plan to print only t-shirts is 15 by 15 will be enough? what is the size of design that goes on t-shirt?
placed my order. thanks a lot! And can you tell me which video you had the info on how to use the mouse pad? I watched a lot but haven't seen the one about the mouse pad.
i think it was for neck labels and i might have one about pressing long sleeves
Hi! Thanks for the video. Are you able to use this heat press in a regular home socket or did you have to get a dedicated circuit installed?
These presses are made for regular home 110 sockets.
Big Brandoh thanks a bunch for the quick response! My current heat press keeps shutting down after like 200 degrees, but I am thinking the issue is the heating element so I’ll just upgrade to this one.
yeah it could be the heating element in your current press. check the links in the description box. and my newest heat press video. thanks for watching.
Big Brandoh sorry to be a bother but I received my heat press and it’s just beeping nonstop and not heating up. I will call customer service tomorrow (they are closed), but if you have any tips, I would greatly appreciate it.
THANK YOU BRUDAH FOR THE INFO, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN DOING SHIRTS HERE IN HAWAI'I, LOOKING FOR ADVICE, KEEPING WATCHING YOU AND TSHIRTSRICHES, CORTRESS ROSS YOU GUYS ARE MY MENTORS THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
Why is it that we are being told where to get almost everything without hesitation like Heat press machines, $5 cheap shirts ,designs made,etc but when it comes to where to get HEAT TRANSFERS,no one ones to give that information freely? Seriously,why is that? What does one gain by withholding that information ? Thanks !
i used to give that info out for free. if you watch my early videos. and then somebody started selling the info pretending to be me and giving out fucked up incorrect info and ripping people off. so i under cut the fakes. theres a video about it on this channel.
i also have another video on this channel reviewing a transfer company and linking you to them. so theres that free company too.
I make watch straps and make about 1200 a month in sales....everythinh i learned is self taught.....that being said i dont like when people ask how do i do this or were do i go...whats your secret....why should i give away my hardwork knowledge to my competition
Would you trust a demo unit heat press from heat press nation???
yes
@@BigBrandoh Koo just got. 16 x 24 with the pull out drawer demo unit!
Bro can u do video on how u set it up bro
Hey Big Brandoh i wanted to ask where i can get t-shirts for cheap (under $5) with good quality that customers would be happy with... & have a bit of softness like Bella Canvas tees
you can order bella canvas direct from bella. shirts are under $5.
Are you able to add other attachments to the this machine (ie, ball cap platen etc)
not to this machine. i have a stand alone hat press and this press.
Hey Big Brandoh, how is the machine after over 2 years? Thanks for the video
how bout how is the machine after 10+ years? hahhaaa still works no issues. matter of fact, I bought the Signature Pro because of the nee Sure Pressure knob. my signature series still worked and actually still works. The person i gave it too is still using it hahahaaa check my newer vids. you'll still see i use HPN's signature line.
@@BigBrandoh Thank you for the reply
Can you link us the work table ?
couldnt find one. i got it from home depot tho. a few years ago
How do you lower or turn off the beeping sound when you make adjustments in the settings??? I cant figure it out and i'm losing my mind. Might return the press because of it.
i have no idea. i would contact HPN. they're customer service should be able to help you
Hey Lucas! The beeping can't really be turned off as it's a safety feature but I have heard of customers putting a small piece of electrical tape over the speaker. The speaker is located on the back of that display screen. (It's the small black cylinder with a hole in it) This will muffle the sound so it's not as loud.
I'm curious if you use the recommended Quick Slip Non-stick Lower Platen Protector or if you ever have.
on my craft pro i just have the rubber silicone pad. on my sig series i have the lower platen cover. it helps and it works. keeps the rubber pad in place and makes laying the shirts down and sliding them off way easier
@@BigBrandoh Thanks so much!
Yessah!
what printer do you use for 15" by 15"?
i dont use a printer i use a cutter. i use the cameo 3
Yo wassup Brandoh! I just got the HPN signature series 15x15. That's a heavy boy right there. I'm looking for a table to put it on. The plastic one I got ain't gonna cut it. I went to home depot didnt see a heavy duty one. Can you tell me the brand of the table that you're using? I need something strong enough to handle that weight.
i use work benches from Home depot. when i first got my sig series years ago. i used a 4ft plastic table in my living room hahaa. but any work bench would work. home depot or harbor freight.
@@BigBrandoh the ones I seen at home depot got wheels on the bottom. Is that what you have?
Would you still recommend this heat press?
hell yeah!!! check the links in my description
Big Brandoh do you know any one selling HPN in Hawaii? Trying to buy HPN online is crazy with the shipping.
nah i dont know anybody out there selling HPN presses. only direct from HPN
@@BigBrandoh -Shipping is free,just ordered one!
hey bro does that heat press have a 3 prong plug?
yes it does
@@BigBrandoh ok bro thanks
What do you think about their hat press????? Any opinions
i have the signature series hat press. love that thing too. hasnt failed yet!
Big Brandoh thanks for the reply. Man your videos inspire me thanks for sharing.
What up bruh? What is a good out source company to deal with when filling a large order?
screen print conpany or transfer company? check out EnzPrintCo.com they can do both for you.
Big Brandoh Thanks bruh you always come through with the plug. Hustle game sick💪
would you recommend buying a 5in1 heat press machines? i've heard they are not that great? thoughts?
no dont recommend those presses. check the links in my description box
Whats the best way to adjust pressure?
turn the knob on top.
@@BigBrandoh I'm sorry for not being so specific. i am currently learning the Subli-light not cut from Forever. i have been having a lot of issues with this product. the image will stick to the garment maybe at 60% and the rest will stay on the paper. I have the same HPN 15x15 heat press from heat press nation which I bought back in November of last year. I have been told i needed to do the paper test to make sure I was using the right pressure. However, as a newbie I still having a hard time trying to get the right pressure for this garment since the subli light seems to be very delicate.
got you. i never used sublilight before so im not familiar with it. as for pressure. you put 4 pieces of paper hanging off the corners. crank the knob down until you can get a solid clamp on the press and you cant pull out the 4 pieces of paper. this will be considered "firm or heavy" pressure. if you clamp down and you can still pull out the papers the you need to crank the knob down more
@@BigBrandoh Thank you for all your help and input. One last thing: Do you use screen printing or heat transfer paper? if you do use heat transfer paper, what kind of paper do you use for the no cutting & no weeding (dark or light garment)? Thank you again.
out of stock along with the walapress😔
so far this Ricoma press is the only one i've tried that i can actually stand behind and put next to my hpn press. slide out drawer, reliable, good pressure and touch screen. check it out if you were lookin for a press thats similar to the hpn signature series shop.ricoma.com/?referral=BigBrandoh
Can you tell me how much table space the 15x15 requires?
i have mine on a 6ft by 2ft table with no issues. but if your space is limited i would say 3x3 table top space to be safe
Im interested in the mpress heat press, what are your thoughts on that?
good press for a great price. check the links in my description.
Will it do plastisol transfers?
yes
How do u gauge pressure
find out what the max is on your press with a t shirt on the platen. do this by cranking the knob all the way down then backing it off a little at a time till you can fully clamp it down. "Thats your Max pressure at its heaviest"
Yes but without pressure reader how can u tell when it's medium or light. I've seen presses with pressure gauge added but I'm not crazy about the dial being placed in the back and not directly over the top of the board.
based off of feel. ive never had to press anything medium or light, so ive never needed to adjust for it. my press stays maxed out and only adjusted when i press on sweaters because of material thickness
Hey man, how do you clean the heated portion of your press if you get some residue on it? Tried looking through your vidz and didn't see a video on it. Thanks!
Hey Noler! For cleaning the platen you'll want to use "EZ Off" from HPN.
how big is the whole machine?
check the link in the description to get full measurements
And promo or discount codes??
no discount codes. sorry.
Man just clicked on the link even though it’s two years later they’re sold out of 90% of the heat presses ☹️
in two years they managed to become very popular. presses sell out quick!
Do not buy... I have this one and it's thermostat is sucky. Within a year it needed repairs and it still doesn't keep heat.
what did HPN say? cuz mine works perfect with no issues. when did you buy yours?
