How To use iconsee Heat Press?Having known about the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press for quite some time, I initially thought it was unnecessary. Before obtaining one, I believed I could manage iron-on tasks with my household iron. However, reality has shown me that my initial assumption was completely off base.

Possessing the ability to perform a task doesn't necessarily mean executing it optimally. I used to consider vinyl peeling after a few washes as a norm until I experienced the HTVRONT Easy Heat Press. I've discovered that none of these issues are commonplace or inevitable.

Now equipped with the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press, my approach to crafting has undergone a transformation. After the initial use, I was not only surprised but also enamored with this machine!

In this piece, I aim to share all my insights, some of which were lingering questions before I owned an HTVRONT Easy Heat Press. My intention is to assist you in determining whether you might benefit from one as well. For those who already own one, continue reading to discover how to maximize the potential of your HTVRONT Easy Heat Press. Trust me, this guide is all you'll ever need!

What is ICONSEE Easy Heat Press?

ICONSEE Easy Heat Press is a heat press designed for bonding heat-activated vinyl to shirts, canvas bags, hats, and more. It seamlessly merges the lightweight portability of a household iron with the effective surface of a heat press. Featuring a user-friendly dual-handle design and lightweight construction, it appeals to a wide audience, including craft enthusiasts, housewives, and homemakers. As the pioneering heat press equipped with pressure transducers, ICONSEE Easy Heat Press precisely and intuitively displays specific time, temperature, and pressure values. This capability empowers users to achieve outstanding results in their DIY projects.

Why do I need an ICONSEE Easy Heat Press if I have an iron?

Let's be straightforward - if you find yourself engaging in just one or two heat transfer or iron-on projects annually, owning a heat press machine might not be a necessity. However, for passionate craft enthusiasts heavily involved in crafting, the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press can significantly enhance the quality of your work and save valuable time. For individuals running a small business centered on iron-on projects, investing in a heat press is strongly recommended to ensure the professional outcome of your endeavors.

Utilizing a household iron for applying vinyl proves inefficient due to uneven heat distribution. Most home irons feature steam holes on the bottom, hindering the uniform spread of heat. Using a household iron means you won't have precise control over the temperature and pressure applied to the pressing area. This results in some areas receiving the required heat while others may not – a problem effectively addressed by the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press. This heat press heats up rapidly and evenly, incorporating a pressure display function to ensure consistent results while meeting safety standards.

Equipped with multi-layer thermal insulation materials, an insulated safety base, and an auto shut-off feature, the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press prioritizes safety by automatically turning off after 15 minutes of inactivity. This function is particularly essential for users like me who may occasionally overlook such details.

The complete guide to using the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press.

Introduction of buttons:

Power button: Responsible for controlling the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press's power, this button, when turned on, will default to the last settings used.

Steps of using the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press

Now, I'd like to showcase an actual project utilizing my ICONSEE Easy Heat Press. Ensure your design is prepared before commencing. I personally utilized a cut file that I designed.

To achieve a flawless project, you'll also need the following:

  • Cotton fabric (such as a T-shirt, a bag, etc.)
  • ICONSEE Heat Transfer Vinyl
  • A cutting machine (I utilize the LOKLIK Crafter.)
  • A cutting mat
  • A heat press mat
  • Teflon sheet
  • Weeding tools.

THE MOST IMPORTANT -- SAFETY NOTE:

1.Avoid using the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press when children or pets are present.

2.NEVER come into contact with the heating plate to prevent severe burns – it can become extremely hot!

3.Always remember to return the machine to its safety base when not in use.

Step 1: Cut the design

I crafted my design from LoklikIdeaStudio using my LOKLIK Crafter. Remember always to mirror your images when cutting the design. Then, meticulously weed out the excess vinyl using a weeding tool.

Step 2: Pre-heat your ICONSEE Easy Heat Press and press design

Click the power button to activate your ICONSEE Easy Heat Press and configure the appropriate time and temperature. I adjusted it to the recommended settings for a 100% cotton base at 300℉ for 15 seconds. It's crucial to note that settings may vary slightly for items that are not cotton, so always ensure your settings are suitable.

Place your T-shirt on the heat press mat. Once the light turns green, pre-heat it for approximately 10 seconds to swiftly eliminate any wrinkles. Carefully position your design on the T-shirt and cover it with a Teflon sheet. Lower the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press and press the timer start button. With the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press, there's no need to monitor the clock or keep track mentally.

Be mindful not to shift the machine around as you might while ironing clothes, as it could adversely affect the design.

Step 3: Peel the backing off              

Once the timer beeps, place the ICONSEE Easy Heat Press back on its safety base. It will automatically power down after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Allow your project to cool, and carefully remove the backing!

Now, it's all set! Enjoy your completed project freely!
