I found an old Cricut Explore Air for $120 CAD. Works like a charm. Currently saving up for a good heat press tho!
Basically What is used To make a Quality (Nike-Puma) type Finish product or something closest to it just so Where selling Quality Last thing we want is they saying Nah after few washes or few months the work we sold got flakey worn out ink disappearing etc . YOUR HELP GETTING US STARTED WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BROTHER.
THANKS AGAIN
Craft pro hands down is the best to start with. I just got one and it has been perfect. Plus Heat Press Nation is excellent with the customer service, they checked back with me two weeks after I bought my Craft Pro 15×15 to see if everything is okay. I love my Craft Pro and you right. You just getting in the game it takes time and 50 a day aint a bad number at all just starting out.
you aint lyin man. the craft pro is a solid machine and hpn service is A1
Thank you for your time and love to help others. This video really inspired me to make the move on creating & pressing shirts. God bless you on your journey. Subbed.
GET THAT MONEY!!! Thanks for watching! 👊🏾
Wassup man I want to start my shirt making business but i am so lost on which equipment to buy to start off to to make sure im going to make my money back thanks on the vid really helped 👍🏻
I’m so happy my girls mom bought a Cricut last year during Covid, I use that shit more than her her now lmao. Thank god for board stay at home moms lol
Wuddup Big Brandoh! I bought the same setup as you a little over a year ago. Heatpress nation 15x15 slide out w/ 12” silhouette cameo. I think i need to upgrade to that 15” cameo. 😂 anybody that asks me about my setup i always direct them to your channel. 🤙🤙
hell yeah!!!! thats right! 👊🏾 i appreciate that!
🙏🏽🔥Thank you brother! Mad respect!
This kat right here is the truth. Always great info Big Brandoh, much appreciated!
yoooo Anthony! i appreciate that! thanks for watchin
Thanks bro
just bought the HPN signature series 16 x 20. Excited to get started. also, appreciate your content bro!
nice! thanks for watchin!
I appreciate how you put everyone on game! Not a lot of people would share what they use and how they do it! I was wondering what you would recommend to do shirts,hoodies, sweats etc? Does Vinyl work or would you recommend a certain heat press? -Thank you!
vinyl works on all pf those things. good way to get goin. when it comes to doin hoodies and sweats. since those materials are thicker i would suggest a heat press with an easy adjustable pressure knob. cuz you'll have to apply heavy pressure but also adjust for the thickness.
Awesome video bro!!!
I should have seen this video before I bought one off of Amazon 🤦🏽♂️ but lesson learned! Ordered one from HPN and excited to use it ! Thanks for the video it’s very helpful and informative 🙏🏽
Got my Signature Series 16x20 a year ago ...Great Machine
hell yeah!!! i agree 10000%
Thank you very much for sharing this information brother. Keep up the good work
u giving up all the get rich schemes love this channel homie alot great information given all times 🔥💪🏽🤟🏾
hahaaa yo i appreciate that! thanks for watchin
HPN is awesome...i picked the starter bundle with the craftpro press and the cameo4....great choices...thanks again for the knowledge bombs....
nice pick ups. those two work really good together!
Brandoh, I appreciate your advice. You tell it from your point of view and your experience. Keep up the good work my brother. I will continue to follow you and check out your videos. You always have something cool and inspiring to say and share. I was looking for a hat press and I am going to be purchasing the one from your link.
i appreciate that! thanks for watching
Tons of knowledge here! Maaaan people don't know how many hours of research you just potentially saved people in a 13-minute segment. Anyways .... I got to make that switch from cricut to Cameo, that's a 2021 goal.
hahahahaa thanks for watchin! 2021 sounds like its gona be a good year for you! I cant say enough good things about the Cameo! 👊🏾
@@BigBrandoh Nice. I gotta dive in. Gotta sit down and take the time to watch videos and learn the software too. I can already see it seems waaaaay different than design space.
thank you for sharing.
you got it! thanks for watchin
Big brandoh! Wass hatnin. Let's get some videos on hats! Maybe advice if youve struggled / figured out scorch marks like me. Preciate the video as always bro. ✌🏼
lower your heat so you dont burn the hat. or cut a piece of teflon to fit over the hat.
How about embroidery machine? How would a newbie pick a good quality machine? 10 needle 15 ? How fast brand that type of stuff if you don't mind.
check out my embroidery videos
Thanks Bro. BIG Follower. I am in Kenya, Africa. I really love the HPN Products.
dope! thanks for watchin! i appreciate it
Thank you for always providing us with great detailed information. I have the cricut air 2 and easy press 2 and they work perfect for me so far. But once I upgrade im definitely looking into these .👍❤
i had the easy press 2, i was not happy with it. i sent it back to amazon, bought a heat press from them.
if it works for you. stick with it. it all comes down to being comfortable with your equipment and stream lining your work flow
Yes i have that same heat press that u have i love it! I was gonna buy a amazon one but the reviews scared me so i spent that money also have a cricut and cameo 4
haha thats right! hahahaaa i stay reading reviews on shit before i buy hahahahahaaa
Yeah wanted my business to go well didn’t want anything that was gonna break on me 😂
Great vlog bro. Love your stuff!👍🏽Question... You never mentioned machines/printers for heat transfer papers. What is your opinion on those? And brands you shud get? Also the hat presser! Never mentioned brand etc for that. Thanks for your time. 💯
you didnt hear me talk about printers because i dont use one hahaha. i dont print transfers from home. i personally dont like the quality of the prints. i mainly buy screen printed transfers for all my orders
What percentage of your designs you think need the 15 x 15 press? I don’t want to get stuck with a heat press that’s too small, you know- but no idea yet how big most my designs will be. Thanks!
This is the video I've been waiting for. Great info
Thanks G you explained it well im intrested starting my own
I appreciate all your videos and honesty. I really want to get into this as a side hustle. I do my own art designs and I post them on teespring but not getting any sales as I want. So I really want to do my own pressing and selling. I've got my domain name and going to start creating my site and post my designs. I guess it comes to buying the equipment. I do have a tight budget and will use your suggestions. My question is how do you let people know what site to go to or make sales?
Another gem .
yooooo i appreciate that!
I'm finally looking to start purchasing equipment. Thanx for all your vidz and support with giving us real-game. Question: I'm thinking about picking up the silhouette cameo 4, 4"-12". Are the transfers within a particular size? What is the difference between 15 inch vs 4-12 inches, with cutters? My bad, I'm not sure if my question is clear enough.
Sup wit it Big Brandoh, Always appreciate the game u sharing and the reason why I'm subscribed. When you gon make video on a step by step setup on how to get your artwork on what program you use and from there to cutting it out using the cameo 4 plus. I have a tablet that I have been creating my designs on but the next step is trying to setup my design on what program to use with the cameo 4 plus. Sorry if I'm repeating the same thing over again, lol. Just trying to make sense. Right on Brotha🤙
i got vids showing that. i use photoshop to design, save it as a png, put it in the silhouette cutting program and cut it out.
Awe man, I got the FancierStudio 15X15 press 🤦🏽 no slide out drawer. I’ll definitely be investing in one in the link soon. Thanks for sharing B 👍🏼
not a problem. as long as it works it'll make you money. thanks for watching
Waiting on the sample packs!! :)
they're coming... maybe by friday 🤞🏾
What’s the best press I can get for 1,400 or more bro. Top quality I see too many video of cheap ones I want the best that will last Lmk if you can
Subbed. You're f*kin awesome. Very motivational and information filled.
appreciate all the sauce on the daily. Can you tell me what size your desk is? I am looking to get one made since my business steadily growing
What’s the best or very good inkjet printer for HTP heat transfer paper?? Budget of $300
Thank you for all the vital info you put out, may it return to you doubled!👍🏼🙏🏼
i have no idea. i dont use inkjet printers or laser printers. i dont print transfers from home.
Your are the greatest. Thank you
Good stuff! Thanks! 👍🏾
thanks for watching
Hey big Brandoh, I sold my first order today, I didn't get what I was supposed to because I didn't make my deadline because of the hurricane. It felt so good though 😌 🙃
GET THAT MONEY!!! congrats and good luck with your business. keep the momentum and learn and grow with each order you fulfill.
tHANKS BIG BRANDOH, AND THANKS FOR ALL U DO TO HELP US NEWBBIES!!!!!!!!!
very informative . thank you Do you give some sample how can I get them?
samples of what? i dont understand this comment
It’s great that you’re very informative and that on some of your vids your not scare to talk about screw ups. I’m a beginner myself and have purchased those said said equipment myself. My question is what programs do you use, or have used to create your designs? Whether it’s Adobe Illustrator or something similar, which is user friendly and the like? Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanks
i use photoshop and illustrator. all softwares are similar. pick one and learn it. use youtube to learn all the tools.
Just starting a tshirt business, God willing. Where do you buy good quality tshirts at wholesale? I’ve subscribed to your channel.
I had the same Question
i buy directly from the manufacturer. if i use Pro Club, i open an account with pro club. if i use alstyle i go straight to alstyle.
Also for those that can do it, not for everyone depending on your credit Heat press Nation offers Affirm, where you can pay monthly for a press, i just got my new one TODAY and it's about $45 a month through. Can do the same thing for the Cameo at Heat Press Nation. Walmart also offers the Cameo with Affirm. As well, Alot of the time Walmart will offer the Cameo 4 for $278, you can take that price to Michaels and they will Price Match that (as long as its shipped and sold by Walmart) and they will also BEAT the price by 10%. Saves you a little extra Bucks there. Also trying to sign up for Affirm does NOT affect your credit so if you ger rejected, it will NOT harm your credit in anyway and that is listed on there site.
thanks for sharing! 🔥💯🔥
do you know anybody with an extra HPN signature series??? preffered auto open, but NOT the sure pressure... been waiting on a restock rn
Still got my Amazon press 15x15 for about a year. As soon as it breaks I’m buying one from HPNation. The 15x15 size has worked great from as a starter since I have the circut. Which only cuts 11.5 x 11.5. Once that breaks I’m getting the Cameo plus for the 15 inch roll. Should make life a lil easier with bigger images.
im in the same boat as you, i have a cricut and a press from amazon...15x15.
thats right! get it however you can. Get that money!
I just ordered a cricut maker bundle from Costco should I return it for the cameo 4? I got the cricut because you can use silhouette software with the cricut. Also I hear the learning curve for cricut software is easier for beginners before I upgrade to the silhouette software. What do you think?
nah dont return it. cricut will get the job done for you. both machines are good. both machines have a lot of videos on youtube too. to help learn and trouble shoot.
@@BigBrandoh ok bet! Thank you for the advice I truly appreciate all you for us!
Right on
👊🏾💯👊🏾
Can you print full color vinyl heat transfers with your vinyl cutter?
no you can not. my cameo cutter only cuts vinyl. it does not print
Started with the mpress 15x15. Mpress was solid. Went to the craft pro 15x15 with slide out. I went with the vinyl systems evo 28 for cutter. What to do some window decals. Was thinking of switching to a cameo plus.
NICE!!! if your cutter currently works, i wouldnt switch over to the cameo plus. save that money and buy more vinyl and shirts.
What’s good mane! Very informative video for the beginners. I also rock out with HPN. Do you think you can do a video on vectoring images as well as changing the colors in your images to prep them for the transfers? I suck at that and I know the companies require that for transfers. Keep doing great things with your channel we appreciate it.
i got videos showing that whole process! check it out! thanks for watching
do you offer any tutorials on how to use and create designs on the cameo using the cameo software i heard it was harder than the cricut software but the cameo was better and universal
i create all my designs in photoshop and then upload them to the cameo software to cut it out. i dont do any designing in the cameo software
I remember way back when, your past videos working with the cameo.
what about the A2Z heat press 649.00
sorry but i never tried that machine out so i dont have good or bad things to say about it. i would imagine its a good option tho coning from a solid company. i just dont know much about it.
Just starting and your videos have been super helpful! Do you have any videos on the GCC expert that you had? This is what I have and the GCC cutter with adobe illustrator have been a bit challenging. Looking for helpful guidance on this, if you have any it would be appreciated!
This may be a dumb question but what’s the vinyl cutter used for if you purchase your own transfers through transfer express? I’m new to all this
custom shirts, 1 offs, decals, testing designs before ordering transfers
Hell yea man !!! Keep up the great content
yoooo i appreciate that! thanks for watchin 👊🏾💯👊🏾
What kind of laptop do you recommend to make decals and designing shirts? What program is needed to get started? I'm new to this and I'm trying to do all my homework before I jump into anything...
Your videos have helped me understand this business a lot.
I've been looking and people use photoshop, illustrator, gimp, inkscape
i got a vid talkin about this. i just posted maybe last week... any laptop works. i use photoshop and illustrator
Thanks a lot!
surprising how many different things you can press with a hat press when you set your mind to it.
📠📠📠
Getting ready to start my own business as well. Just have a question, you showed us the cameo cutter and the heat press. Where are you getting the vinyl from ? Are you printing them on your own ? If so how ? That was like three questions 😂 sorry man
check the description box for all the links to everything.
This was actually my next question 😭😭😂.. I Wana get that stuff u got.. quick question tho so after I get everything... the software for printing process from the computer to the cameo where do I get it?🤔
comes with the cutter
Brilliant advice and help! 👍👍 many thanks indeed.
could i ask you which vinyl material you use please? I know it may not be available here in the uk but its worth a shot!
keep up the great work! 👍
check out the links in the description box. i added all htv's i use and where to buy
@@BigBrandoh sorry!!!! 🤣 I never thought! 👍👍👍 many thanks for your reply 👍👍
Whats up bro been watching your page for while. I want to start by first thanking you on being so informative and keeping it 100. I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on a set up. I want to just start printing my own shirts because Im tired of buying from the big brands. I would love if this could escalate into a small business being that I live in NYC and know a lot of people and small business owners. I also have 3 boys 15, 11 & 1 so I’m hoping I could teach them how to use it and maybe turn into a small hustle for them. My question is do you think I should buy the Cameo 4 plus and the 15x15 press and get it over with. Idk if most shirts are less than 15x15 or if 15x15 would be the ideal print size. The price isn’t the issue but if I’m most likely not going to use the 15x15 I would get the 9x13.
design size is all that comes down too. will be creating designs bigger than 9x13? or will all your designs fit that dimension. nothin wrong with 9x13 but this is where you gotta be honest with yourself on what you wanna create. 15x15 is a cool all around press. size is good and versatile. so if your getting the cutter that cuts 15" sounds like a 15x15 would pair up good. cuz you can get the 12" cameo 4 and the 9x13 and save on money that way too.
I'm just starting out and I use HTV. Seen I a different video that you ordered heat transfer sheets, where do you order those through? Also do you wash your shirts before pressing them?
Hey Big Brandoh! Enjoying your content! Would you recommend a swing away heat press vs a clam shell? Wanting to get started but not sure which to go with. Thanks!
swing away or pull out drawer. i prefer not to work under the heat.
Which affordable good quality printer would you suggest?
i dont print any transfers from home.
Appreciate you bruh
👊🏾💯👊🏾
Do you do sublimation at all?
only on mugs and socks. also masks. but thats about it
What vinyl do you use?
i use a few different vinyls. check the links in the description
How r ya, my Son and I Wanna start up printing From Hats to Socks and everything in between.. matching Outfits sweatpants hoodies ..
We want To Make Durable QUALITY Equipment SO That IF I MY BOY WANTS AN OUTFIT AND AFTER COUPLE MONTHS COUPLE WASHERS AND DRYERS THE GEAR DOES NOT PEEL AWAY Or THE INK STARTS DISAPPEARING BASICALLY WE WANT IT TO LAST LIKE NIKE ADDIDAS WOULD USE.I LIKE YOUR SUGGESTIONS BUT JUST WANNA GET THE CORRECT PRESSES ETC FOR WHAT WHERE LOOKING TO DO..YOU OUT OF THE OTHER PEOPLE DOING VIDEOS I SEE YOU ARE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE. 👍 GOOD STUFF BRO..
MUCH APPRECIATION,
JOE2627..
Where do you recommend I buy the craft pro heat press machine from. ?
check the link in my description. they are in stock now, so get'em while you can. they sell out quick
Thanks for creating all these awesome videos! I'm new to the game, and I have been thinking about creating an online store in Shopify. Do you have a video where you talk about Shopify? What's your feed back on using this platform to sell t-shirts? I would probably work doing print on demand and maybe create my own brand. Thank you in advance Big Brandoh!
i use shopify and i like it. i dont have videos about it. its easy to use tho. pick a theme, load your pics, update the info and start selling
@@BigBrandoh Thanks for the feedback bro! You're the man!
Ayyy! Great info. I need me a slide out draw heat press! Brought one from ebay cause the ones in Australia sold by companies are so expensive! Pretty happy with it tho.. does the job..
Whats your thoughts on weeding designs that are detailed?... i find the design ends up coming off (small details) when weeding..
Thanks
weedinng sucks. hahaha stuff thats really detailed, if its htv. i weed it out on my heat press. i'll heat it up, lower the heat down to the bottom. warm up the lower platen and then slide the drawer out and lay my htv down and atart weeding. i got a vid showing the process. for decal vinyl i use a small light table.
@@BigBrandoh haha yeah lol! Thanks ill check it out & I'll try it out thanks for the tip:)!
what if im making plastisol heat transfer do i need a cameo vinyl cutter?
nah. cutter is just for cutting vinyl. if you wont be doing that, you dont need it
whatsup man been a big fan for a while. 1 question: i want to print on alstyle 1301 t-shirts but i live in Belgium and it's really hard to find companies that ship to europe. none actually, exept on ebay, but the shipping cost are alot. any tips/help? or do you know a similar t-shirt?
sorry man. i dont know of any shirt thats like the 1301 that ships to Belgium. you can try contacting Pro Club. their "comfort" shirt is like a 1301 but cut different. cotton feels the same tho
Sup Big Brandoh! What's the selling point for HTV versus screen printed shirts? Why would customers choose HTV over screen printing?
lets say the customer only wants one shirt. to screen print that, you would have to coat the screen with emulsion, let dry, burn the screen with the design, Shoot out the negative, let dry, set up the screen and make sure it registers with the platen, place a shirt on the platen, put the ink on the screen, flood the screen, print, take the shirt off and cure it in a conveyor belt dryer. now you gotta reclaim the unused ink, clean the screen or clean and remove the emulsion to reuse the screen. Done! lot of work for one custom shirt. HTV load the color vinyl they want, send the design to the cutter, remove the vinyl and weed out the negative space, heat up the press and press it on the shirt. done!
htv easier to do from home, less messy, takes up less space. perfect for custom orders, 1 offs and shit like that.
Is it worth getting the 15 inch for cameo and heat press? Or 12 in enough? For shirts, sweaters etc. Thanks again for the help
i used a 12" cameo 3 for years. i just recently got the cameo plus. so you'll be good. i did shirts and hoodies and decals with it for years.
What about the printer ?
Where do you get your blank t shirts? I have been checking and they are expensive :(
i buy them directly from the manufacturer. do you have your reseller permit?
@@BigBrandoh i do yes, but i dont know any suppliers who sell good quality t shirts, thank you :)
open accounts with 3rd party suppliers like TSC and Mission Imprintables so you can order from different companies to test out
Can you tell me how you created your logo in the corner of your videos so I can create one and turn it into a sticker
i got a video showing the process. the thumbnail is a picture of a cheeseburger. its called "hand drawing to digital image" or something like that. check it out
Thanks for you help! I just ordered my craft press 😊😊. I wish I knew about silhouette before I got my Cricut a few years ago.
How did you come up with your brand name and logo I’m having a hard time with that??
Hey man I'm just starting out I'm thinking about getting the Epson workforce eco tank for 400 dollars do you think that's a good printer an what's your thoughts
Sorry Kahlam but i dont know anything about that printer or setup. i dont print any transfers from home. i use screen printed transfers. my sublimation printer is a sawgrass sg400.
use a Epson WorkForce 7720. or 7710. go to amazon buy the refillable cartridges and make sure you buy sublimation ink (unless you're just using transfers)
Hey bro need your help! What are your thoughts on a bayside 5100 and is a alsytle 1301 better? thanks
ive never used or tested or seen the bayside 5100 so i cant compare it to the 1301. sorry
Big Brandoh Fosho, went with the 1301 after seeing your vid but have you used anything bayside?
HPN never has the cameo 15" 😠
its a popular cutter
Is the 9x12 from hpn practical for tshirts
yup. but it also depends on your design size. if you plan on desiging bigger than 9x12 you would need a bigger press. but if your designs stay under 9x12. you'll be good
Thanks 🙏, do I need a pillow for the mask or just heat press straight on the mask
depends what kind of mask you press on. if its all flat, you wont need it.
Does the cameo plus have the print n cut option?
do you mean, full color print from the cameo? and then cut with the cameo? if thats what your asking, No! it just cuts. but i think you can print something out on a regular printer and load it up to the cameo and cut it out. i dont do that but i think theres vids about it on youtube. i just use it to cut decal vinyl and heat transfer vinyl.
@@BigBrandoh yea i been watching ya videos lately been gettin a lot of good info! GLO on the response tho!!
Heat press nation has been out of presses for a good while
they restocked last week. and were still in stock when this video was published.
Do you know anyone selling a Cameo Cutter?
HPN got'em. check the link in my description box
Just got a cameo but didn't know the software isn't compatible with my laptop🤦🏾♂️
dam. is the laptops operating system out of date? could be an easy fix by just updating it
@@BigBrandoh it's chrome os instead of mac or windows
What was that Facebook group you mentioned? G6 or something like that. I'm interested in joining
check the patreon link in the description. thats how you get in the facebook group
