Because of you, I’m starting my t-shirt printing business. 5 days ago I order 16 by 20 hotronix auto clamp heat press from Stahls. There are many obstacles preventing my from starting, but I’ll just start. Thanks Rich.
thank you so much for this video i was scared to spend the money on the package that stahls has on this heat press and hat press for like 3500 but after your video i'm buying today you said everything i need to here to move forward i dont know about the business but i'm going to try
I'm starting my T-shirt business next year. I bookmarked the Stahl 16*20 and looked up videos today and found yours. I love the way you're selling it to us and I'm stoked to use get it next year.
awesome video!!!!!! great content!!!!! I'm just learning but have tried the hot split retro and recently the goof proof. love the content, and yes stahls's transfer express has great customer service!!
If you were to choose just one press, which one would it be? I’m having a hard time deciding but I do know I’d like it to be durable, dependable and long lasting. Debating between Starcraft, HPN and Stahls. Unsure between clam shell and swing away. You inspire a lot of people. Thank you!
Love these videos - the information and Rich's friendly, encouraging, easy-going manner. Can anyone tell me if a heat press like this can be used to print a design that goes all the way up to the shoulder seams of a tshirt?
I have a heat press from about 13 years ago that was used twice. I am having issues with getting rid of the Heat press box it leaves. Tried everything. Do you think the heat press is too old?
i always wonder how you guys just put the print on it and it always looks like super centered. how about when you make multiple of those shirts with the same print? how do you center the prints? just with the eye?
Anyone having an issue trying to do firm/heavy pressure. The magnet seems like it isn't strong enough on this heat press to stay closed. Any tips from people with this press?
Where do you get your HTV? Do you know where I can find black reflective HTV? Thanks in advance. Watching your channel inspired me to start my own brand soon.
I'm over here debating if I should get the Stahl's Hotronix Auto Clam or the Geo Knight DK20 16X20. My heart is literally pounding cause I wanna go with the best lol. I think I want to invest in a good machine so I don't have to worry about upgrading anytime soon. Which one should I go for??
Man I can vouch for Stahls. I've had my 16x20 Hotronix thats 21 years old still running. Only took it to get repaired once and that was back in october after something broke during a move, but overall these presses are built to last. Solid vid Rich, peep my channel too.
I also have an older 16x20 Hottronix. It’s about 20 years old. Unfortunately as of recent, the temp is 40 degrees higher than it reads and the platen temp is inconsistent when checking with a temp gun. But he’ll 20 years i for more than my moneys worth. I’m wondering though, if my issues on the old one are fixable. I just ordered this one today but would love to have 2 working presses
This is a fire press indeed, the neck tag press tho 🔥! I've been eyeing the purple one from Heat transfer Warehouse* you have but it's sold out so I'm tryna be patient...
@@fromHeaven2LA understood i be stealing space in my. Lil area that a stand press comes in handy. So i feel you but they expensive unfortunately. I thought about uscutter as a alternative.
@@Ramellosugahill haha I feel you, an I still need room for a cutter an my sewing machine 😫...why are the stands so expensive I might just build my own table at this point.
I tried heat pressing a skull cap, but it seems like the heat stretched the material and made it flemsy and stretched. Any ideas on how to get trust right?
@hustleninjas Just starting out.... trying to figure out what color tee and font color should I start with in trying to get this branding situation going?
So if you are buying the gang sheets ; do you think buy a vinyl cutter is necessary? I am looking to do a clothing brand. Also are there any vinyl cutters that have compatible software with Macs?
Vinyl cutter would allow you to do multiple different designs while buying transfers will have you more invested in certain designs. It really just depends on your business model. I use the Graphtec with Illustrator on Mac.
Time and temp is dependent on the media (vinyl, dye sub transfer, plastisol transfer, etc) that you’re pressing. The media will come with instructions for temp, pressure, and time.
Hi Rich, big fan of the channel, great content ! I have an opportunity to pick up a George Knight dk20s with stand for $800 . Should I snag that or save for this bad boy?
@@HustleNinjas it is a reputable seller with integrity. He said he has recently switched out the heating platen . It looks to be in great condition . Thanks for the quick reply and advice
Hey is your heat press giving you around the same temperature from all sides ? Just got mine and temperature are way off from one another and doesn’t even go what it’s set up
Your heat press has two time settings that will allow you to set different times when a two-hit application is required. For single-hit applications, simply set both time settings the same. Once the temperature is adjusted, press the Mode Select button again to advance to Time #1 Mode. The (SET) and (TIME) lights will illuminate, indicating you are in Time #1 Mode. Once you have Time #1 set, push the Mode Select button again to advance to Time #2 Mode. All three red LED lights will illuminate indicating you are in Time #2 Mode. Select the desired time and push the Mode Select button again to exit the time settings. All lights will be off and the press will return to the PRINT mode.

Hot only does Stahls' Hotronix make a great product, they have great customer service too. This press is going to print money.
They do
I started rocking from transfer express from watching these videos.... love their products so far.
Thanks Rich for helping me solidify my choice to go and buy this heat press ⚡️
I have the 16 x 16 version & it is in fact a solid heat press!
Rich that clip with the dual press capability was super impressive! Another great video. thanks!
The Stahl's Maxx Press is a slightly cheaper alternative. It's not an auto open press but it's built solid.
I’m looking at a 16x20 Maxx built in 2009, anything specific I should watch out for?
Love your spirit! Im new to the t-shirt game and your videos have been amazingly helpful. I purchased a stahls hotronix today :)
I'm loving the tag labeler!
love your videos Rich. was just looking at Stahl today and found an Australian supplier. thanks again
I've learned a lot from you. Many thanx and many blessings to you homie.

To change the subject for a minute what college did you graduate from? I see your degree in the background.
Do you feel this makes better quality prints than the Geo Knight you were using? Or do you think the Geo Knight was better?
They're both great quality

Hi what’s the temp and time you use on your Hotronix open clam ? For white and black shirts ?
Time and temp is dependent on the media (vinyl, dye sub transfer, plastisol transfer, etc) that you’re pressing.
The media will come with instructions for temp, pressure, and time.
Have you gotten the power platens to heat underneath and avoid scorching
No, I’ve never had a real scorching problem
can it hoover?
Does this heat press work plugged into a regular home 120V electrical outlet?
Yes
Hi! Do the platens for the all the presses or just this one? Thanks!
Comes with one
Do you product the product for your brand this same way
Is the color on that transfer the Metallic Graphite?? They list 70 colors on the website but they only have Black and Puff Black shown..
Yes metallic graphite
Would you recommend the Siser 15x15 over HPN black series 15x15?
It will be close to the same thing
Whats your opinion on Stahls hotronx maxx?
Solid press, basically the same thing. Just doesn't have the auto-open or the pressure reading, but I believe you can change the platens on that too!

That's interesting! Let me know how that works out for you, never used that before.
@@HustleNinjas it works amazing, it makes threading garments really easy, love from Dubai ❤️
Do you happen to know how to trouble shoot the heat press not clamping all the way down?
I’ve noticed after clamping the slightest touch makes it come up, so after clamping, be cautious.
For the first shirt was that the goof proof formula from TransferExpress?
Hot split
Hustle Ninjas good looks!
Hey is your heat press giving you around the same temperature from all sides ? Just got mine and temperature are way off from one another and doesn’t even go what it’s set up
Yes, I find mines to be pretty close in temp around the edges. I would definitely give them a call if you're having those types of issues.
How do you set the press for the 2nd press ?? .. the one you did for 5 seconds
Your heat press has two time settings that will allow you to set different times when a
two-hit application is required. For single-hit applications, simply set both time settings
the same.
Once the temperature is adjusted, press the Mode Select button again to advance to Time #1
Mode. The (SET) and (TIME) lights will illuminate, indicating you are in Time #1 Mode.
Once you have Time #1 set, push the Mode Select button again to advance to Time #2 Mode.
All three red LED lights will illuminate indicating you are in Time #2 Mode. Select the
desired time and push the Mode Select button again to exit the time settings. All lights will
be off and the press will return to the PRINT mode.
There’s no metallic black option is it just normal black under hot split transfer ?
