This was a great Thorough tutorial. Very straightforward and informative. I was apprehensive about setting this machine up but this gave me great info and was able to set up up within 15 minutes or less
Thank you so much I have this exact one and the instructions were pretty vague. I'm more a visual learner so demonstrating each attachment was very helpful!
Hi, Roger I am now subscribed btw I have this tutorial saved to my tutorial Playlist. THANK YOU for your demo. I was gifted with the same Tusy heatpress without a manual so this was very helpful and I look forward to seeing more so I can get started using my heatpress.
Just unboxed this heating press and your video is really really helpful. Many thanks from Ghana. However, I have a quick one please, what's the difference between those two pads orange and kind of white? How to use them? Under the tee-shirts? I am a newbie! Lol. Thank you sir.
I changed my press to the hat press and now when I went back to the shirt press the top part is wobbly. I’ve tightened everything, and it fixes it but then loosens back up. Any suggestions?
There is a bolt in the center, between the springs that can come loose. it is very hard to get a wrench in there, but a 12 point box end metric does fit. You will only get a small amount tightened before having to reposition the wrench. I no longer have this press, but do remember having to do this.
Hello! Thanks for the unboxing video was concerned on quality of this . Question: I’m between this and a cricut heat press + hat press. For time efficiency which would be better quality and faster?
In "my opinion", the Cricut unit is WAY over priced for what it is. I have had no issues with the Tusy and have been using it in a production setting even though it is not designed for such use.
Extra protection in case I have a "Geezer moment" and forget to put paper over the press project. Protects the top platen and cheap insurance. Held on with 4 magnets.
I absolutely love the break down. Found it very helpful. Mines is on the way. 1st one so I was super concern about putting it together. But am confident now. Thank you🙏🏽 Love the tee 👕 lol I don't have a subliminal printer. Is it the only option for the mug and plates?
If you don't have a dedicated printer for sublimation ink, and you happen to have a Cricut, Infusible ink pens can be used to make your design. These pens (although expensive for what they are) contain infusible ink.
@@rogersshop Thank you so much for your reply. Wow I should have known, I ordered the Cameo 4. It has pens too but am not sure if it infusible ink. I shall do my research. Starting small will look into investing in Sublimation printer in the near future. Blessings
@@xiomaratorres4467 Infusible ink pens would need to be purchased separate. If looking into a printer, consider the Epson Eco-tank line. There is a video here on my channel on how to convert it to sublimation ink.
Roger, I don’t kn if you have the answers but I received my “ Tusy “ press 5/20/22 The first thing I noticed was Tusy was not embossed on the top heat plate , looking at the box the Tusy name was covered with tape , looking at the control box , on the back where voltage info. is right under what I believe is the serial number I noticed black sharpie covering something, I scratched it off with my nail it say “ manufactured by Tusy also the cover of the instruction book at a white sticker ( I peeled it off) it says “ Tusy” why is the Tusy name removed from all these places & last but not least the heating elements for the mug press are not attached to the body of the mug press ? Sorry so long but do you have any idea about any of this ?
Like a lot of things made in China, one factory makes all the same thing and then brands them according to what the customer wants them to say. I did a video a while back comparing several different inexpensive sets of small pruning shears. All of them were identical other than handle color and brand name on them.
@teresarene1 I have this same problem but no where does it say Tusy, on the press, box or manual. Nothing about it looks like the one Roger has and it's also a 5 in 1. They told me some crap about them changing their logo. I don't buy it at all and returning min today. I don't get why yours did say Tusy and they marked it out, why not leave it? Not to mention mine is 40 degrees off, hotter then what I set it for.
I ordered my press from Walmart. Its not marked Tusy and the person communicating is in China. I think they sent me a knock off Does! The temperature is also 100 degrees off! My control box doesn't have 3 prong plugs like yours. Nor is there a timer switch level that connects with the timer so it doesn't turn off! Also Does your press fall over to the side when you swing it to the left or right? Im gonna return it and order mine from your link.
How do you adjust the tension for the heat press when doing shirts? I also need a user manual as I bought mine second had and the seller didn't have it. Do you know how I can get one?
When pressing a shirt I noticed you took the speckled white pad off and just left the orange pad on their. Is that how we are supposed to do it? Or do you take it off when pressing shirts
The "speckled" pad is softer than the orange pad. If I'm doing something like shirts, I either leave it off or put it under the other pad. When doing something that has "curves", such as a ceramic tile, I put it on top along with a heat press pillow. (Really something I should do another video on!)
Great video! I just got mine a few days ago and set it up and used it, as soon as it reaches 380 degrees the out button starts to clicks off and on , I sent a message to the company and they said it does that and asked if it is working well. It heats up fine and everything I’ve made with it has turned out fine but the clicking off and on is annoying. Does yours do that?
The click you are hearing is the internal relay for the heating element as it cycles to keep the platen at proper temperature. This is normal and is not unique to this brand. the internal relay is required to handle the amperage load for the heat element as the load exceeds what could be done on the circuit board. There are solid state load switching relays, but are more expensive than standard coil-operated relays commonly used on equipment like this. I have two other heat presses, both of which are different brands, and they all do this.
Hi Roger I commented yesterday but had not checked everything else yet , I was going to at least test the press , I couldn’t even do that because it came with the wrong power cord …
Hi, Roger, it's been about 8 months - are you having any problems with your TUSY' heat press? I have been researching heat presses and all the reviews pros and cons are so misleading. You use yours a lot, so any problems? Thank you!
No problems. And, using it in a production setting, which it is not designed for. Not unusual for this to be run constantly for 8-10 hours at a time, several days in a row. No issue with it other than a few screws coming loose, which was easily fixed.
hi roger, nice video what is the temperature to sublimate an 11 onz mug and the time. my mug press is giving me a hard time it smells weird when it warms up, and smoke starts to come out. i dont know if that is normal? the first time i did 350 for 120 seconds but it did not do that.
Should not smoke on warm up (unless first time use, which would be normal). Some smoke (steam) would be evident while sublimating, and is normal. I do 385 degrees for 120 seconds on mugs,
okay thanks, its my second time using it. but it did not work on 385 too high i had to lower to 330 for 160 seconds. plus it shuts off and starts clicking on and off then shuts the electricity.
@@dylangarciayt4664 The clicking sound is the internal relay and is normal. If it is tripping your breaker or blowing a fuse, there is something else wrong, which may, or may not be the press. This easily goes to 400 degrees. This should be used on a 20 amp circuit and may trip a breaker on a 15 amp circuit if there are other loads. (Retired Master Electrician)
Hi Roger, I have this same machine and love it.....except....if I have a thick sweatshirt or very large....I have either a hard time or impossible to get thick clothing in the press. Any ideas? Does the top go up higher? Thanks!!
Roger can you tell where where you got your tusy from. I bought one on Amazon a month ago and I think it is a knock off. No where on the press, manual or box does it say tusy. Doesn't even looke like the real Tusy even though the seller assures me it is.. TY

Hi Roger, I enjoy your videos. I remembered from one on sublimating on the glass trivets (I make trivets all the time now) that you have a Tusy heat press so I found this video to watch. Mine has an unlevel bottom plate. It slopes to the back and is not pressing firmly when the front of the bottom has good pressure. Any suggestions on how to adjust this so that I have even pressure over the entire bottom plate? Thanks
Insure that the cords are connected tightly and that it is plugged into a live outlet. Also, the switch position can be deceiving, so double check that. Otherwise, if this is a new unit (or an older one that worked previous), it may have a defective controller.
@@churchkimber6401 It could be a bad switch, which are easily found. While the actual heat press has served me very well, some of the parts are not of the "highest quality", so to speak. If you take dimensions and type of switch (with unit UNPLUGGED), these type of switches are only a few dollars. If this is a new press,, I'd contact Tusy.
