- Best Heat Press Machine To Start A Home T-Shirt Business On A Budget (Unboxing HPN Craft Pro 15x15)
In this video I unbox the HPN Craft Pro 15x15 heat press machine that i will be using to restart my home t-shirt business. When searching for a good heat press machine to start your business there are a ton of things you should consider.
First and foremost, you need to consider your budget is going play a major part on what heat press machine you choose. While amazon and ebay have some very cheap options, however i don't believe you should choose your press based on price alone.
Secondly, you must consider the size press you would like to have i dont suggest going less then a 15x15 for a home t-shirt business unless you are planning to be super mobile. So your options are pretty much 15"x15" or 16"x20" but for starting out and being on a budget 15"x15" is what we will be looking at.
Third, features I mean most heat press machines come with the standard features and the only cheap real feature you find is the bunch in on features where it gives you hat, mug, and other options which i personally don't like the thought of because your already going cheap and that gives you more things that could go wrong.
BUT...
HPN added the slide out drawer to a entry level machine and this is the single reason you should purchase this as your first heat press machine for your business.
Lastly, quality of the machine and company/brand behind the heat press machine and HEAT PRESS NATION has taken this industry by storm as a brand and quality of press at the price points they offer.

Great video bro...very informative...straight to the point & professional 👍🏾👍🏾. I’ll definitely use your link when making my purchase.
Thank you for this I'm just starting out, this was extremely helpful!!!
Thanks for sharing. I was debating on which press to buy until watching the HPN brand. The sliding drawer seems safer, and I like how it opens so 'elegantly' too. LOL
Thank you soooooooo much.
You drop so much knowledge
You are a blessing to humanity
Started my biz last week and it going great @honesthustledesign
I just ordered this press using your link, found your channel yesterday and have been watching your videos ever since. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

Beyond Average Training Apparel just followed you from my professional page
I was 👌 close to buying the Tusy off Amazon. But when I saw you slide out that base!!!! I'm definitely buying this one instead! Thanks for the video!
Hey! Thank you so much for all your vids. I currently have an online women's boutique and want to expand to making unisex t-shirt designs. I've literally watched all your vids during quarantine and I think i'm ready to make a purchase on a heat press. I was trying to gather as much info as possible. Thanks so much for all the info!!
My table! i guess it does hold it,over the end legs,got one on the way! i'm watching that table move a little!
Well done video! Informative , clear, no bullshit like others that I can't make it through. Thank you!!
Awesome video and great information. Subscribed. Thanks!
This was perfect explaining, I’ve watched multiple videos and lose interest quick. It’s more real forsure. Thanks bro!
Thank you. Valuable info as I am a novice ...and that slide out feature is a must for me. Good price point
Glad I could help you
Yah that right there is a God sent presser.
I bought a swing away press 12x15 off ebay. It works but the temperature varies across the pad. I will be ordering this 15x15 craftpro next week !!
Nice
Loving these reviews! Still trying to decide on a press for my new buisness!! ✌
Which did you decide ?
After a long time a heart touching episode! Lachoos and kidu!
Thank you mate - very informative .
Stan My heat press just came in I can’t want to do an unboxing..I appreciate your channel man frfr you inspired me to pursue my dreams 💯😎💪🏾
any updates on your press?
Linda Plain I actually just did my first press today and it came out great in my opinion..I should be making a video sometime this week...and thank you for asking
You are God sent. I have been watching and taking notes all weekend! Thanks for sharing so much!
Thanks for watching
@@StanBanks you are welcome. Is this still your recommendation for starting with? I know that things change so fast in this business. They are definitely sold out already!
Yes if you can wait the won’t be back I stock til next month. If not the MPress is a option without the drawer or the signature series is the best option if you can afford the difference.
Stan Banks yes I can definitely wait.. I am just learning how to use my Cameo3.... Do you have an affiliate code? thank you.
Hpn.tshirtsidehustle.com anytime you shop with them.
Great video! Appreciate the detailed review
Thanks for the video. Respect the hustle
No doubt
Great vid!!! Thanks for the info
AWSOME video! Great info!
Very informative video man 💪🏾✊🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
oh , man good looking out with the suggestions on equipment, i know you may be a lil partial too the ones paying off, but i still feel you are shooting straight. I am a 24 year US Navy veteran, just returning home, and tryin to make some supplemental dollars, between you and reyes the entrepreneur, and the All American Arts MN ,you seem to be the hustler, out there taking care of your business, so iam bettin on you, and if yall can make them dollars... then so can i man, ty for your knowledge, and good luck with all you do!
I really appreciate this video. I like that you actually evaluate and say what you don't like. I was about to order one of those cheap ones just to get it because I put so much money upfront to get all my other equipment. But yeah, I'm gonna get the best that I can afford right now
That’s the plan do the best with what you have make money and upgrade when you need too.
tiff m Hey tiff what other material did you have to get besides tshirts and transfer paper? are you referring to design programs and printers?
@@Shahmar I went all in I wanted to have options to expand, I got a heat press, Epson printer, ink. I also wanted to do baby clothes so I got a sewing machine, embroidery machine, I got a cricut so I could do vinyl
@@tiffm3110 Gone then! I hear the cricut machines are worth it;sounds like you got some really good design ideas. I'm torn between getting a $500 heat press and just paying $2 a shot to have my jpegs transferred to paper or investing that $500 into an adobe acrobat design program,printer, portable iron and transfer paper supplies.Interesting timing by you? you got a chance to blow up.
@@Shahmar I LOVE my cricut! I got the maker and I love that it cuts fabric and draws on the seam allowance since I'm still new. Idk if I got lucky with timing or super unlucky. I planned for over a year and jumped in this December but then Corona hit! I've been having trouble ordering supplies and being delayed. I didn't want to pay for design so I've been learning Gimp. When I say I'm new I'm 100% new. I personally like having a heat press. I invested in a heat press nation one and it's so worth it. I press the shirts really fast, sublimation, vinyl, heat and bond applique for embroidery. I really hope this work out because I need to work for myself. Not get rich but enough to pay bills and be happy
New subscriber to this channel‼️ This the first video I came across for t-shirt press machine and I was glad to see a brother that looks like me. Yeah I’m just gone be honest I watched it simply because you’re Black and I want to support my people. I love the video you know exactly what you’re talking about and have the knowledge. I’m looking to buy a press machine for my t-shirt line and you helped me in so many ways thank you and I wish you all the success your business brings you brother keep on grinding! #salute #supportingblackownedbusinessonly ✊🏾
First time watching channel.very good detailed information.ready to purchase and start printing.im sold#
Your videos are so inspiring. Thanks again 😊
Love this review!
Great information brotha! Thank you very much
Very helpful video my bro!
Thank you so much you have inspired me x
Thanks for your video is very helpful .👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Exactly what I needed
I ordered my heat press of Amazon based on your recommendation when you were working out of the shop... thanks for all of the info!!
Thanks. How’s it working out for you?
You’re welcome..... for the money paid for it I can’t complain. I do like the feature with the pull out plate which does make it more tolerable instead of being in close contact with the heat from the press. Keep the videos coming💪🏽
Will do
@@nikiprice465 Hey Nikki how's the press machine working for you? are you able to use a number of different template and transfer paper types or are you pretty limited to one style and/or only a few companies?
Hello everyone 👋🤝 I'm starting an online business as well thank for sharing..
I currently have a cheaper swing away. I do love that it has the pull out platen as well BUT THIS... I will be buying this. Thank you for this video
Make sure you refer back to the link.
How is it now?
Still rollinh
Alicia did you purchase the press? if so how's it working?
Thank you for this video i am just starting out appreciate it
Ain't nothing but a chicken wang. unless you don't eat meat.
Thank you for your great tips. I'm looking to launch my business soon, on a tight budget. However, I do like the tray feature on this press. Especially for me, I tend to be clumsy at times so the heat does concern me.
Hi 👋
Do you need manufacturer?
Heat press is the heart of the t-shirt business. Good info
I'm a new subscriber... love your channel bro.. awesome.. keep em coming
Super Comprehensive Bro.. thanks
Thanks for the video bro.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS
I just purchased one, and so glad I picked this one! I was so tired of researching and reading mixed reviews on Amazon, that I decided to search youtube and came across this video. This is my first heat press, and I didn't want anything too large, but this machine is not that big for a 15x15, but it is very heavy. The buttons were easy to set and it is very smooth. I love the slide-out feature and I feel safe using it. I've seen other presses that people use where their hands are right under the hot plate which terrifies me, so I don't have to worry about that with this machine. I am very happy with my purchase.. thanks for a great and honest video!
Thanks
Awesome!!..very informative review will def have to invest in this press.. Thanks Stan
Great don’t forget to use the link
I love the slide out drawer! I started with and still have a 15X15 fancier studios (Amazon) and it works well...with the exception of me burning my knuckles. I want to upgrade to the 16X24 HPN with the slide out drawer. Thanks for this review!
That’s a good choice I will be getting that one soon.
Nice I want to order that fancier studio one, does it heat evenly? any problems adjusting the pressure. I have the swing away by mophar and its was good for 6 months now I cant adjust the pressure smh.
The 16 by 20 or 16 by 24 I have both of them and to be quite honest I don't like it. If the 20 or 24 was vertical instead of horizontal it would be better it's really Hard to do T shirts on such a wide area I'm getting a 15 by 15 instead
AHPS 2018 thank you for your feed back.
Well I talked to heat press nation and they do have a 16x20 and a 16x24 portrait style,which means that 20" is going up-and-down rather than left and right. I ordered it and it's awesome I realized that 15" isn't enough so I sent that back and got a 16 x 20 portrait style which is perfect. I suppose 24" would be even better but that Extra 5" is perfect because alot of my designs are bigger than 15" so you have to adjust the shirt and heat press a second time which I don't like and can cause the vinyl to not be applied properly heating it up again. With the 20" I can get pretty much any design with one press. So I will save everybody a lot of time, forget the 15x15 it will limit you go for a 16x20 portrait style heat press,trust me you will thank me. I found out it's only like 30 bucks more I thought it was hundreds more so why the hell wouldn't you lol. And one more thing I ordered a swing away press and it didn't swing all the way off the platen which made it harder to use than a clamshell. Unless you get the really expensive Stahls heatpress the HPN brand doesn't swing all the way off the platen and its sucks trying to adjust the shirt trust me. It is a horrible horrible design. Anyway sorry for such a long reply I hope I can help people through my trial and error.
Good video! and that looks like a midwest basement right there!
I guess all basements look alike lol
Stan can u send me an email at sweetpoem116@gmail.com
Tshirtsidehustle@gmail.com
I’m in the market for my first heat press thanks for the video.
Which one did you purchase?
@@jaybeau_official HPN 15X15 pull out drawer
thanks bro this helped a lot!!
need subscriber keep up the good work!
thanks Stan.
The hustle team 😂😂
I just bought one because of this video
Sweet you will love it!
I am thinking that the pull out tray will save my back from too much leaning over.
The pull down arm looks really hard to pull back up after it's done. I'm an older woman without the strength that you have in your arms. So, if I lessen the tightness of the top plate will I still get a good adhesion? Could I set the timer for a little longer to make up the difference?
Thanks for a great video. Very well explained.
They say you can lower temp in increase time. For pressure I tell people as tight as they can handle honestly so you should be good.
Thanks so much for this video
No problem
What a great video. It seems like all heat presses at HPN and Swing Design are all sold out (the affordable ones). I definitely don't want to buy it from Amazon, so I guess I'll have to keep on waiting.
Thanks for sharing. Oh, you look just like my nephew. You two could pass for brothers for sure.
thank you im wanting to start a lil business lol
I think that the swing away is better but hpn is a really great company that give quality products
Great video
good review bro 💯
I loved the video
You were a lil nervous but I think you did amazing very informative thank you
Nervous?
Good review. I will do more research.
Me too
Can you tell me what equipment I need to start a t shirt business, I need to know what I need to buy, down to the ink
I found your channel from Reyes and I must say im glad I found you. (Pause). Keep grinding bro and thank you for all the useful information!
Lol real men don’t need to say PAUSE OR NO HOMO. Lol. Welcome Reyes is my guy.
@@StanBanks
Have you worked out how to get medium pressure without the pressure read out. I ordered the 16×24 and I found that was the only thing missing It's going to be my first press.
Not many presses have that until you get into the super expensive ones. Everything is a judgement call.
@@StanBanks
Ok thanks
Stan Banks 💯
Very informative video🎥
Thanks
Hello, I loved your video! I purchased it this morning thanks to you. Can you post the link of the table used? I got everything except for the table
I've been looking to get into a printing hustle man thanks for the info
No doubt now get to it!
@@StanBanks I have questions?? What software? Where do I get the vinyl.. I'm lost
Thank you.
I love the bottom slide
Love that joint too
Bigboutya dunno very good introduction and presentation👊
Nice clip.
Thank you
Perfect video!!
Thanks
I have one I got from Amazon a TUSY heat press 15"x15" basically the same design as this one. It just doesn't slides out but it does have a handle where you can hold it when opening. I'm just started so I didn't want to dump over $200 in a heat press.
How long have you had it?
@@StanBanks going on 3 months pretty happy with it so far
Nice.
Bought a Vevor Heat press and I don’t like it. Thinking about this one for sure 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Been looking for a Heat Press, something for me and my girl, this appears to the one, she will appreciate the slide, Thank You, Gracias
I received my 15×15 slide out about a month ago and I love it
Great
Are you having any problems with it ?
@@kemofredericks1612 none at all
Tessa Francis does it work well with screen print plastisol transfers
great video, i'm looking forward to starting this new journey with my daughter, where i can order these products?
What printer do you recommend?
Hi Stan, I’ve been with you since ur CZcams start. Congrats on channel growth. What type of cutter are you using?
Hey, cameo 4 now.
the swing away press is so much better if you do sublimation. swing aways get even pressure. I have a clamshell for vinyl and swing away for sublimation.
Agreed
Why the difference? I'm looking forj a great press and your comments left me with more?s
Sublimation needs even pressure for thinker sub straights outside of shirts. So a swing away is better because it’s a straight up and down press and it’s always flat. Clam shells do fine for thinner sub straight and they have been made with some give. But it’s un natural for anything thick.
@@StanBanks what do yu mean by thicker sub straights and thinner sub straights? Is that like how thick the materials of the clothing are? At what temperature would you say would be best if trying to press a pair of jeans? Appreciate your time and great video!!
Yes some people press on wood plaques etc. temp doesn’t change so same as recommended for material.
Will this run off of a simple circuit breaker? I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and ordered a cheap 15x15 Amazon press and it kept shorting my breaker
Thanks, I am going to purchase this heat press. Do you have a any recommendations for the printer?
I got the 16x20 from Heat Press Nation and the mother board was broken. They sent a replacement part and it still didn’t work. Shipped it back (horrible experience), and they shipped another one. Opened the new box and broken pieces were all over the box. It was bolted to a wooden board for shipping but arrived damaged twice. Ended up ordering a nicer press from Sign Warehouse. Great customer support and got a bunch of free stuff.
Yikes 🥴. Everything’s been good for me so far.
Yeah I guess it was more of a shipping nightmare. Wasn’t all bad thought. They refunded me so it wasn’t that bad. Just wanted it to work.
Yeah. Sucks could be a mixture company and shipping I thought they packed this one up too well.
Hello, I wanted to know what is the brand that you purchased, what size did you choose, and what was the cost.
Nette Love I ended up getting a 16x20 enduro press from signwarehouse
Thanks first off for all your videos man, super helpful 👍🏻👍🏻. Is the signature series worth the extra $100 investment? Does it heat up faster or what?
On the next episode of dragon ball Z. Lol auto open if I upgraded. Looks to be built better then this one. The craft pro is a bare bone.
Wish they still had this in stock. May have to go with the Sig series.
A great option.
that $100 difference hurts tho lol
Cornelia Myers yess.....yes it does lol
Are you from the Chi? South Side Chicago over here!!✌
hey, i was wonder what kind of printer that is that you printed out your design on? or if you recommend another affordable one
Very informative. Can you recommend a multifunctional heat press? In addition to t-shirts, I would like to do mugs, cups, glass, bags etc.
I have an Amazon one in the mail right now and I’ll get a second name brand one shortly after.
how long does the graphic stay on the tshirt
