Thank you for your video, I have a different press than the ones in the video but this really helped me out. I did realize I didn't have any parchment paper & had to use copy paper but my first cup came out great!
I recently got a tumbler press and love it so far! But I’m still watching every video I can find, and really appreciate yours!! Very clear and helpful - thanks!
@@deborahknapp5524 great question - I can’t answer because I’ve actually forgotten. I went back and looked at some videos I made about it, and I wouldn’t even list the company name because their customer service was awful. However, I did end up getting a much smaller one recently that I really like, it’s called a Hitprex.
I just got mine today and it worked great however the settings are a bit confusing but I'm just as happy 😁. I been watching your videos nonstop and enjoy every one!
I purchased a variation of this tumbler press in April and I absolutely love it! Ir is super easy to set and it does a fantastic job of sublimating. Now if it would just anticipate user errors before the occur! Thank you for all your awesome videos.
After spending a collective 20 something hours searching for a 30 oz mug press you have FINALLY sealed my decision!!! TY for the great tutorial and supply list. hopefully I will be as successful as you were :)
Love your videos. Very thorough and love the technical details you provide. I just purchased a similar mug press from Heat Press Nation. It comes with different attachments for various size mugs and tumblers. There is even an attachment for a shot glass.
I just purchased this tumbler press. I have one I purchased in China and it came with 0 directions, and can not get it to work. 🙏 This one will work for me too. I will let you know how it goes.❤️ Thank you so much for your videos I believe I will soon be able to do successfully because of your guidance.
Finally got my hands on the PYD Life tumbler Press from your link. They had 2 versions so I chose the V3 which is the updated version of the one you showcased in this video. I couldn't be happier and it printer a sublimation mug perfectly the first time out following all of your directions. Now onto tumblers. Thank you so much for this video and for encouraging us to try this. I had already sent another brand back to the supplier as I had wasted so many blanks so I am a very happy PYD Life customer!!
@@lauracooper4877 I have not had any heating issues with 2 mugs at a time or my tumblers. I do make a half turn after pressing and then press again with the tumblers just like Angie did on her video. They all come put perfectly. Sorry you are having issues. Very frustrating as I had to return another tumbler press from another company because of this kind of issue.
@@lisayoung3737 not yet unfortunately, but I also haven't had time to really play with it. I'm really only having issues with the 30 Oz, which are longer. Recently i read in the pyd life manual that due to how the heating element is inside, the last 1/2 inch or so on left and right (can't remember the exact measurement) doesn't get as hot, so I figure I probably need to do more rotations and press each end longer. Hope that makes sense!
Hi Angie, just received my Ecotank printer after 2 years of watching your videos!!! Now I'm looking for a mug/tumbler press. Can you recommend a good one that won't break my bank?? I'm wanting to start a small business but moving very slow, I want to make one time purchases and not panic. Your videos have given me the courage to take the leap!! TIA for any help you can offer.
Am I the only one who finds the settings panel complicated and confusing? Also, the fact that there’s no beep or indicating sound that the time has elapsed sends warning bells (ironic, huh?) that over processing is going to happen. I’m not sure what that would do to your project but it doesn’t fill me with confidence that I would be successful 🥺. I’m also concerned that a manual adjustment is necessary for different sized mugs or tumblers. I’m thinking this press is much too complex for me (a very occasional crafter) therefore, I think I’ll stick with the Cricut mug press. Thank you for the demo of the tumbler press. It was very informative and you saved me some money. Again, thank you.
@@AngieHolden And everything that you mentioned was much appreciated, especially for the reasons that the other person mentioned. Everyone is def different and what is complicated for some, might not be for others. I did not see any of if being complexed, but I def would want an alarm when it is done, because as a mom, we can get busy or distracted very easily :). Thank you for a wonderful description.
hi, I just ordered this machine I get it tomorrow. Have you ever used a laser engraver you should try one out you are very creative I am sure you would make cool things with it.
I just bought this press. I'm having major issues getting my tops to look good. I keep getting white spots with no ink. After watching your video, I don't think I'm using enough pressure. I'm going to tighten the pressure and make a tumbler tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes my issue.
I adjusted the pressure and that did not help. I'm returning the press and sticking with my convention oven. My oven gives me perfect tops and bottoms.
Halloween design was from Creative Fabrica I think. I did print it on my sublimation printer. You will not be able to print large enough from Cricut Design Space for a tumbler like that however.
My man got me a tumbler press but I'm trying to figure out if I can do mugs that go small on bottom and big on top, or shot glasses without a conical. Do you know if there is a trick, it looks like yours.
Thank you so much for your video. I have an Elite Tumbler Heat Press, but I think it would be the same. Can we use Cricut Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet? My first items will be the skinny 12 oz wine tumblers.
There are some tumbler presses that come with coils for tapered items but they would be very specific. I find it easier to just do that type of thing in my oven and not try to buy more accessories for the press.
Do you prefer the tumbler press, mug press or convection oven? I am trying to decide if buying a sublimation oven is better than the mu r tumbler press.
hello Angie I am trying to find a tumbler press that has a 1.5 oz shot glass attachment does this perss have that? or do you know of one that you can recommend
Love the video , I went through it a few times . When I get to the end to set temp it goes to 5P. The out does not light up. Do you have any idea what I may of done wrong. Machine just in today.
Do you need to do anything to the tumblers after your done? Like coat them with anything or are they just good to go after pressing, and ok to wash and not destroy the project. New and watching videos before I start.
I´ve been looking for that or a similar tumbler press here in Germany but unfortunately it´s impossible to get one with (at least within the EU) about the size of the described one on the video. Therefore I ordered as an alternativ machine the VEVOR 6800 from GB (which isn´t EU either) with is completely closed and can sublimate tumblers up to 28 cm (11") height and almost 10 cm in diameter (almost 4 inch). The only disadvantage I realized so far is the fact that You cannot sublimate any cans oder tumblers or mugs with any plastic parts attached, ´cause it goes completely into the machine with all parts heated up to the desired temperature.
Hi i have the same pyd press. the only places i have issues with are the top and bottom it burns no matter if i tape or not. Is it too tight on these areas ? I can't afford to ruin any more tumblers. Btw they are 20 oz tumblers. Can you possibly help on the adjustments ? Thank You
I have not had that issue. I would back off of the pressure and maybe lower the temperature some. I am also wondering if it is your tumblers and if they are thicker or thinner in that area.
Hi, PYD Life has 2 different mug presses. The one you're demonstrating is the V2.0. There's also a V3.0. Is there a difference besides the price? Thank you
I’m looking into buying a tumbler/mug heat press and have been looking at reviews however I was going to buy this one but they are currently unavailable 😭 any suggestions on the next best tumbler/mug heat press??
My tumblers are showing tape lines using this press. (Never had them when I used an oven) Any thoughts?? I've tried tightening the press and loosening it without improvement.
Great video! I'm barely starting looking into doing this as a business. Quick question: what printer do you use to print these prints for sublimation? I need all the help I can get! TIA
hi I know I asked before about heat temp the lady I bought my tumblers from said she does 315 another lady asked told me 400 I did the 400 came out a little too speckled but good so I see you do 356 what blanks company do you use I know you said the temp goes by the blank manufacturer please help sorry to be a pain also I like how in your vid you don't wrap the top just tape for security awesome
And do not put a single mug in the middle. It will not get enough pressure to sublimate correctly. If anything have a spare mug and put it on the other side if you have just one mug. This worked for me.
Do you order your own prints or do you have a printer? I'm interested getting the machine but if I don't have a printer wanted to order the sheets... is that possible?
I just purchased my tumbler press and when I press my tumbler. The first 2 tumblers I had to much pressure and I bent the tumblers LOL! I wish I would of saw this video before. Very informative! The paper also stuck to the tumbler and I had to use water to wash it off. I press at 365 for 70 seconds. I have the HPNation signature tumbler press that is there recommendations for pressing tumblers. Can you please tell me why my Paper is sticking and pulling off the white sublimation off the cup. HELP I want to be successful craft! 🤦♀😭😭😭
Question. We are using the same pyd press. 350-50-50 and keep getting a pinkish result on all of our tumblers. Some have said either to hot or to long. Using A-sub ink and paper.
I need help. I have the pyd tumbler press. It worked perfect for my first mug. The second one was fine on the top half and the black was faded and brown on the bottom half. The third one was all faded brown instead of being black. I’ve tried many variations and they are still coming out faded. I’m using the recommended settings of 120 seconds at 356. I tried more time. And then I tried less heat at 300. Still the same results. Any idea?
Angie, HELP!!! I’m having a terrible time sublimating tumblers. I started slow with an EP printer, A-sub paper, Hippoo ink & an oven & had some success. I ordered a case of tumblers from Craft Haven & the results weren’t as good in the oven. I want to do this regularly so I invested in a tumbler press. I’m using the same printer, ink & paper, wrapping the tumblers as tightly as I can & the results are horrible. Craft Haven recommended 360-375 for 60 seconds & I have the pressure set pretty tightly. I’ve tried varying temps within the range that they suggested, but the print on the dark blue logos I’m doing come out looking like someone took sandpaper to them. I’m running out of tumblers AND patience, & my friend really needs these tumblers. What should I do?
I am having tape impressions, that is going through my A-sub 125g paper. I'm not sure what might be causing this. I am using Tumbler Press PYD. I have used PYD tape, yellow tape and the cricut tape. I'v used the range of 350ºF- 360º 50-65sec/flip 50-60sec again.I have tried light and medium press. I don't even have a seam showing just the darn tape line that is going through the sublimation paper. What might be causing tape impressions, any suggestions? :|
Omg I got my printer yesterday and started a bunch of cups. I used my heat tape and then painters tape on top like I seen others do. So instead of the extra tape I can use parchment paper?! Of course after my image is taped down tightly
Sorry one more silly question. I am an epoxy girl! I always left a layer incase they wanted to add their name or add to the cup. Can I add more to the cup like their name after its already sublimated ?
I have never used the painter's tape method. Are they making them in an oven perhaps? You can press the cups more than once but you might want to experiment. I have experienced some fading doing that.
I am new to sublimation I have a craft express 30oz tumbler press would the heat temp and time be the same on that one I saw their vid an it is 356 for 60 seconds also how much pressure is too much and sorry but you mention color settings
I am having trouble with the edges of my tumblers. I don't care how tight I wrap and tape the tops and bottoms of mine, they aren't coming out good and solid, they always have spots where the ink didn't take. do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm getting ready to throw my press out the window!
Angie, My time/seconds won't count down when I shut my press, can you help me figure out how to make it count down? I can't figure out how to change it to "out"... Thanks so much, Jamie
All of a sudden my pyd life press is ghosting at the tops. I don't get it. Nothing is different. Preparing and pressing same way. I'm frustrated bc they were coming out perfectly before. It's really more on one side than the other.
Hi. I am new with tumblerpress and never used before. Can you let me know do we Need sublimation printer and print on sublimation paper everytime. If yes, is there a cheaper option
I recently started working with the tumbler press and am having issues with the top&bottom not being as dark as the rest of the cup.. I’ve tried adjusting the pressure and it’s still doing it. I’ve been doing 360/ 50 seconds and then turn and do another 50. Any ideas?

First off, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! Question: Can you ADD an image to a tumbler/mug that you had already sublimated?
You can sublimate again but it gets tricky. It can fade your first image.
Is it correct to say that if you want to sublimate on tapered or rounded drinkware you must use an oven?
There are some tumbler presses that come with coils for tapered items but they would be very specific. I find it easier to just do that type of thing in my oven and not try to buy more accessories for the press.

PYD Life makes several on their own website that are not on Amazon. Those have other attachments that I don't have for this one.
Ty!! I got one
Can you do this with a regular HP printer? Or do I have to use that specific paper for it?
Great tutorial!
You have to have a sublimation printer with sublimation ink.
@@AngieHolden thank you!
Epson printers take sublimation ink.
Can you remove the handle of the tumbler and do that?

Hi Angie, how is this tumbler press still working for you? How does it hold the heat and have you had any issues at all with it? Thank you! ❤️
Do you leave the access at the top without taping it? The sublimation paper itself I mean.
I had some tape at the top but not as much.
Love the video , I went through it a few times . When I get to the end to set temp it goes to 5P. The out does not light up. Do you have any idea what I may of done wrong. Machine just in today.

Do you need to do anything to the tumblers after your done? Like coat them with anything or are they just good to go after pressing, and ok to wash and not destroy the project. New and watching videos before I start.
Sublimation is permanent as soon as you press and ready to wash.

I really like this tumbler press I am in Canada and on Amazon its not available can you recommend how and were to purchase one?

Do you have a video for a tumbler press vs the double door oven by Oster. Also have you ever use the water method to cool the tumbler down a little.
I have a video comparing the mug press to an oven: ua-cam.com/video/sgH7HzWRi7c/v-deo.html and I don't cool my tumblers at all.
Where do you buy the 20 oz straight White tumblers?
I get them from PYD Life on Amazon.
Hi, PYD Life has 2 different mug presses. The one you're demonstrating is the V2.0. There's also a V3.0. Is there a difference besides the price? Thank you
They did send me some information and it looks like they did change some things but I have not used the other one.
are you going to show doing the other size tumblers like the 30oz?
It would be the same procedure for each different size. You can do many sizes in this press so I definitely cannot show them all.
I’m looking into buying a tumbler/mug heat press and have been looking at reviews however I was going to buy this one but they are currently unavailable 😭 any suggestions on the next best tumbler/mug heat press??
I only have this one and the Cricut Mug Press so I don't have other advice.
Which one is better the all in one tumbler press or the regular tumbler press
I have only used this one.

I have NEVER had this issue and have had many people say the same thing. The only thing I can guess is the brand of tumbler and the coating applied.

These are PYD life blanks.
Can that Halloween tumbler you made be epoxied?
I would say so. I haven't ever epoxied one. It is permanent when the sublimation is complete.
What kinda printer do u need to get your images that u want on ur tumbler
I am using a sublimation printer with sublimation ink.
@@AngieHolden does it matter what brand
@@AngieHolden are thoes machines completed to use
@@AngieHolden are these machines complicated to use at all
Great video! What kind of camera do you use?
I use a Canon DSLR.
And do not put a single mug in the middle. It will not get enough pressure to sublimate correctly. If anything have a spare mug and put it on the other side if you have just one mug. This worked for me.
Oh good tip! Thanks! I have only ever used it for two!
@@AngieHolden Thank you for your in-depth videos! Very much appreciated.
Thank you for your video's. I wish I could find the tumbler press here in Australia.

Not with sublimation.

Any tips on wrapping cafe mugs. The have a weird curve/shape. Like latte mug
I have not made any of those!
Can this press be adjusted to cone shaped (wider on the top, skinnier on the bottom) mugs and tumblers?

I actually just found a new one on Amazon that I am testing!
This looks like my press but mine is Craft Express. Is this rebranded?
More than likely, yes. There are usually several versions of presses like these with different names on them.
Darlah does your press stink bad?
Angie i hope you are well! question for a sub business what you will like better this machine or convection oven?
For a business, a press is definitely easier and quicker. However, the oven will do a wider variety of shapes and sizes.
@@AngieHolden ty for your time and advise
Do you recommend the PYD tumbler press? I'm deciding between this one and the Heat Press Nation tumbler press. Are you still using the PYD press?
I am still using this one and I do like it.
Question. We are using the same pyd press. 350-50-50 and keep getting a pinkish result on all of our tumblers. Some have said either to hot or to long. Using A-sub ink and paper.
350 is probably not hot enough. Check with the instructions for the tumbler you bought.
I need help. I have the pyd tumbler press. It worked perfect for my first mug. The second one was fine on the top half and the black was faded and brown on the bottom half. The third one was all faded brown instead of being black. I’ve tried many variations and they are still coming out faded. I’m using the recommended settings of 120 seconds at 356. I tried more time. And then I tried less heat at 300. Still the same results. Any idea?
Sounds like maybe uneven heating or uneven pressure. The brown sounds like maybe you are burning it.
does it matter if you using a different heat press? or they are the same temp?
Generally the same but you may have to experiment. An oven would be different.
Do you have a video on the designing sublimation image? I’m struggling in that area.

Hi Angie - why would my design be coming up very faint/discolored?
I am guessing not enough time or temperature. But it could be a wide variety of things. Start here: ua-cam.com/video/LYj0vS9lOhs/v-deo.html
Angie, HELP!!! I’m having a terrible time sublimating tumblers. I started slow with an EP printer, A-sub paper, Hippoo ink & an oven & had some success. I ordered a case of tumblers from Craft Haven & the results weren’t as good in the oven. I want to do this regularly so I invested in a tumbler press. I’m using the same printer, ink & paper, wrapping the tumblers as tightly as I can & the results are horrible. Craft Haven recommended 360-375 for 60 seconds & I have the pressure set pretty tightly. I’ve tried varying temps within the range that they suggested, but the print on the dark blue logos I’m doing come out looking like someone took sandpaper to them. I’m running out of tumblers AND patience, & my friend really needs these tumblers. What should I do?
I think I emailed you as well. I would check with Craft Haven and see if there is an issue with the tumbler.
I am having tape impressions, that is going through my A-sub 125g paper. I'm not sure what might be causing this. I am using Tumbler Press PYD. I have used PYD tape, yellow tape and the cricut tape. I'v used the range of 350ºF- 360º 50-65sec/flip 50-60sec again.I have tried light and medium press. I don't even have a seam showing just the darn tape line that is going through the sublimation paper. What might be causing tape impressions, any suggestions? :|
I have never had this happen. I am wondering where you got your blanks?
hi, can i just press 1 mug on the tumbler press.? im not sure which should i buy a mug press or a tumbler press .
Yep you can. Put it in the middle.
Can you press glass cups??
Yes you can.
Omg I got my printer yesterday and started a bunch of cups. I used my heat tape and then painters tape on top like I seen others do. So instead of the extra tape I can use parchment paper?! Of course after my image is taped down tightly
Sorry one more silly question. I am an epoxy girl! I always left a layer incase they wanted to add their name or add to the cup. Can I add more to the cup like their name after its already sublimated ?
I have never used the painter's tape method. Are they making them in an oven perhaps? You can press the cups more than once but you might want to experiment. I have experienced some fading doing that.
I am new to sublimation I have a craft express 30oz tumbler press would the heat temp and time be the same on that one I saw their vid an it is 356 for 60 seconds also how much pressure is too much and sorry but you mention color settings
I would check with the tumbler manufacturer. It depends on the blank not the press. They should give you a pressure as well.
Thank you
I am having trouble with the edges of my tumblers. I don't care how tight I wrap and tape the tops and bottoms of mine, they aren't coming out good and solid, they always have spots where the ink didn't take. do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm getting ready to throw my press out the window!
I actually like to raise my print up a little so the very bottom doesn't get any ink. Then I get a straight line.
I know this is an old thread, but did you ever get it figured out? I'm having the same issue.
Angie,
My time/seconds won't count down when I shut my press, can you help me figure out how to make it count down? I can't figure out how to change it to "out"...
Thanks so much,
Jamie
Are you setting the time then exiting the setup?
Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same problem
All of a sudden my pyd life press is ghosting at the tops. I don't get it. Nothing is different. Preparing and pressing same way. I'm frustrated bc they were coming out perfectly before. It's really more on one side than the other.
Is there something wrong with the coil or the press?
Hi. I am new with tumblerpress and never used before. Can you let me know do we Need sublimation printer and print on sublimation paper everytime. If yes, is there a cheaper option

Angie is there a reason that you need to rotate? If the press fits all the way around the tumbler.
It SORT OF fits all the way around. There is a small gap at the top. I feel like rotating is safe to make sure you get a good print.
My Next machine yes
Great information. Thank You❣️
Thanks for watching!
I recently started working with the tumbler press and am having issues with the top&bottom not being as dark as the rest of the cup.. I’ve tried adjusting the pressure and it’s still doing it. I’ve been doing 360/ 50 seconds and then turn and do another 50. Any ideas?
My guess would be you need a higher temperature perhaps.
Hello, what weight an brand paper do you use if you don’t mind me asking
