Introduction

Black Friday 2026 is the best moment of the year to buy an HTVRONT machine. Five of our most popular products are on sale — the Auto Heat Press 2, D2 DTF Printer, A100 Multi Heat Press, E15 Embroidery Machine, and H17 Phone Case Heat Press — with discounts ranging from $75 to $1,000.

This page collects each deal in one place: the original price, the Black Friday discount code, the final price, a short review of what the machine is actually good at, and the key specs. If you're deciding which machine to buy first, start with the Auto Heat Press 2 — it's the most widely used model and the easiest entry point. If you already have a heat press and want to expand into printing your own transfers, the D2 DTF Printer is the next step. If you want a single machine that handles shirts, hats, and mugs, go straight to the A100.

🛒 All deals are live at the official Black Friday sale page. Discount codes must be entered at checkout to apply the Black Friday price.

Why We Recommend It

Winning a 2024 Red Dot Design Award and staying in the top spot of our lineup for two years straight says a lot on its own — this machine has been refined to the point that it doesn't need further adjustment. Efficient, stable, and reliable are the right labels for it.

You can precisely set the temperature, the pressing time, and the pressure. The slide-out tray design reduces burn risk compared to a clamshell press, and the rounded edges mean you don't scrape your knuckles while loading. Overall, this is a friendlier machine for households with kids.

In Auto Mode, you set the temperature and time once, pull out the tray, place your garment and design (HTV, DTF, or sublimation), push the tray back in, and the heating plate lowers and lifts on its own. Pull the tray out again, load the next shirt, push it back, and it presses again. That mode is designed specifically for batch production of the same design.

Compared to a traditional industrial manual heat press, the Auto Heat Press 2 removes three repetitive actions: pressing down, holding pressure, and lifting back up. When you're producing a hundred identical shirts a day, that difference is felt immediately.

To be fair — after two years on the market, we've also heard the customer feedback. Some users find that 176 lb of pressure isn't always enough for every design project. That's a real limitation of the machine. But it doesn't undo the rest. As an automatic press with auto shut-off, a simple and friendly operation, and a fit for both beginners and small-business owners, it sells for $349.99 — it isn't perfect, but it's balanced, durable, and easy to use.

Key Specs

  • Heat plate15" x 15"
  • Max temperatureUp to 410°F (210°C)
  • Adjustable pressure44–176 lb

Tips & Tricks

The Auto Heat Press 2 ships with four built-in preset modes:

  • Mode 1 — pure color HTV
  • Mode 2 — DTF film / glitter HTV
  • Mode 3 — printable HTV
  • Mode 4 — sublimation paper

D2 DTF Printer

HTVRONT D2 DTF Printer on Black Friday 2026 sale
Original price $3,499.99
Black Friday discount $1,000 off
Final price $2,499.99
Discount code: D21000SEO — enter it at checkout to get the Black Friday price.

Why We Recommend It

Launched in March 2026 as the follow-up to the D1 DTF Printer, the D2 uses the F1080 printhead for reliable print quality and adds an upgraded offline auto-maintenance feature. Sleep Mode keeps the ink circulating automatically while the machine is idle, which prevents the printhead from clogging.

No dongle required. No bouncing between multiple pieces of software. The self-developed IdeaStudio is a single 2-in-1 application with thousands of DTF design assets built in. It supports four white ink underlay modes and Smart Nesting to automatically arrange designs and get more out of each DTF film sheet. Low ink, waste ink, and waste film alerts keep you informed: the CMYK ink lights up and beeps when it drops below a set level, and waste ink alerts fire before the tank overflows.

It's not perfect either — for now only Windows users can use every D2 feature. If you're a Mac-only user, this DTF printer isn't the right fit.

Key Specs

  • Ink cartridge300 ml
  • Dimensions29.2 × 21.7 × 11.7 in (74.2 × 55.1 × 29.6 cm)
  • Weight35 kg
  • Max resolution720 × 1440 dpi
  • Max print speed16 ft²/h

Who It's For

A home-consumer DTF printer aimed at small-batch apparel makers and independent studios in the US. The pitch is "hassle-free": beginner-friendly and small-business-friendly at the same time.

Tips & Tricks

  • The D2 DTF Printer pairs best with the D01 DTF Oven.
  • On light-colored shirts, use No Fill mode — it saves white ink and gives a lighter feel on the fabric.
  • On dark-colored shirts, use Object Area Fill so colors stay vivid against the dark base.

A100 Multi Heat Press

HTVRONT A100 Multi Heat Press on Black Friday 2026 sale
Original price $439.99
Black Friday discount $155 off
Final price $284.99
Discount code: A100155L — enter it at checkout to get the Black Friday price.

Why We Recommend It

Launched in June 2026, the A100 is the first heat press in the lineup that handles shirts, mugs, and hats in one machine. The latching module design makes swaps fast, simple, and easy. Compared to complex multi-function presses like Xtool's, the A100 is cheaper, and every module is included in the box — no extra charges per module.

The design is compact: the machine occupies only 43.2 × 32 × 35.5 cm (17.0 × 12.6 × 14.0 in) and weighs 16.8 kg, so it's easy to move around. It follows the Auto Heat Press series design language — no sharp edges, auto shut-off, adjustable temperature, time, and pressure (except on the tumbler module, where pressure is fixed). You can also set the pressing height, and the flat heat plate can be detached and wired up separately to use as a handle t-shirt press (effectively an H10 without the pressure readout).

It's almost the perfect press. Almost — because some customers have pointed out that the flat heat plate is 12 × 10 inches, so a larger design needs two press runs. Even so, it's the most beginner-friendly heat press we make, especially for people who don't own a dedicated hat press, shirt press, or mug press, but do need all three.

Key Specs

  • Temperature210–410°F / 100–200°C
  • Pressure50–170 lb / 20–80 kg
  • Weight37.0 lb / 16.8 kg
  • Footprint43.2 × 32 × 35.5 cm (17.0 × 12.6 × 14.0 in)

Tips & Tricks

  • The A100 supports height adjustment, so it can press thicker objects like a dictionary or a wooden box.
  • The flat heat plate can be detached and used as a two-handle heat press for larger surfaces — tablecloths, quilts, and similar items.

E15 Embroidery Machine

HTVRONT E15 Embroidery Machine on Black Friday 2026 sale
Original price $5,399.99
Black Friday discount $800 off
Final price $4,599.99
Discount code: E15800L — enter it at checkout to get the Black Friday price.

Why We Recommend It

Compared to the established industrial-grade embroidery machines, our price is dramatically more accessible.

The 15-needle embroidery machine covers 15 colors (and you can swap the thread on any needle at any time). That handles the color range of the vast majority of embroidery projects without frequent thread changes — a big efficiency win.

The embroidery area covers both garments and hats. It follows the same design language as the rest of the lineup, with latching modules for the hat embroidery module and the garment module — swapping between them is fast, simple, and easy.

It delivers commercial-quality embroidery: 1,000 RPM continuous stable production, up to 1,200 SPM (850 SPM recommended for hat embroidery). Built-in red-light positioning and smart correction means even a slightly off hooping can still be embroidered correctly.

Compared to industrial multi-needle machines with a heavy professional look, our digital control display UI is friendlier and easier to operate. The machine also has 40 professional embroidery patterns built in.

We know embroidery and heat pressing are completely different DIY fields, and most of our users are more comfortable with a heat press. That's why we offer a very complete set of tutorials and guides to make sure new E15 owners can get into embroidery quickly and produce high-quality embroidered shirts and hats.

Key Specs

  • Needles15
  • Speed500–1,200 SPM
  • Min stitch length0.1 mm
  • Storage100 million stitches
  • ConnectivityUSB / WiFi
  • Built-in patterns1,000+

Tips & Tricks

  • Embroidery and heat pressing use different machines, but they aren't isolated. Combining both produces outstanding results — applique patches, for example.
  • The embroidery stand is included, not sold separately. We recommend installing the machine on the stand rather than on a table — it reduces vibration during operation and makes the machine easier to move.
  • The E15 weighs 42 kg. Have two people on hand for the initial unboxing.

H17 Phone Case Heat Press

HTVRONT H17 Phone Case Heat Press on Black Friday 2026 sale
Original price $279.99
Black Friday discount $150 off
Final price $129.99
Discount code: H17150L — enter it at checkout to get the Black Friday price.

Why We Recommend It

The H17 is without question the most popular machine of 2025. Launched in July last year, it went out of stock for a month or two. Even a year later, it remains the friendliest, most usable, and most widely compatible sublimation press in the phone-case DIY space.

Sublimation isn't just flat (shirts, pants) and curved (cups, hats) — it also covers irregular objects, and the H17 handles all three. Its vacuum lamination technique wraps precisely around sidewalls up to 90°, giving edge-to-edge image coverage with no dead spots.

One fixture set fits most phones — iPhone 12 and newer, plus mainstream Android models — which dramatically lowers fixture cost. One-touch automatic operation, long-lasting vivid color, stable output.

The H17 is designed for DIY phone cases, but it does more than that. Spray a flat oval pebble with sublimation coating, and you can sublimate a pattern onto it. Badges, earbud cases, and similar items work with the H17 too.

And one more reason to grab it this Black Friday: we're planning to launch a keyboard DIY module in December or early next year. When it drops, H17 owners will be able to make personalised keyboards.

Key Specs

  • Curved objectsUp to 135°
  • iPhone fixtureiPhone 11 and newer, including the latest iPhone 18 series
  • Android fixtureCompatible with Huawei, Samsung, and other mainstream phone cases
  • Temperature range100–180°C
  • Machine size326 × 304 × 172 mm
  • Heating chamber203 × 117 × 20 mm

Tips & Tricks

  • The H17 uses sublimation film vinyl, not heat transfer vinyl or DTF film. You'll need a sublimation printer to produce the transfers.
  • Sublimation runs hot. Wear heat-resistant gloves whenever you're operating the machine.

FAQ

Quick answers to the questions that come up most often during Black Friday.

When does the Black Friday 2026 sale end?

The sale runs through the Cyber Monday window. Check the official Black Friday & Cyber Monday page for the exact end date and any last-hour deals.

How do I apply a discount code?

Add the product to your cart, go to checkout, and enter the code (for example Auto275L for the Auto Heat Press 2) in the discount field. The Black Friday price will be applied to your order total before payment.

Can I stack multiple Black Friday codes on one order?

Each discount code applies to its own product. If you're buying more than one machine, place separate orders or enter each code on the cart line that matches the machine. The discount is applied per eligible item, not as a single cart-wide total.

Which machine should a complete beginner buy first?

The Auto Heat Press 2. It has the lowest learning curve, the most forgiving workflow (one-button auto press), and the widest material support — HTV, DTF, sublimation. Once you have it running, the D2 DTF Printer is the natural next step if you want to produce your own transfers instead of buying them.

Do I need more than one machine to start a small business?

Not necessarily. A single A100 Multi Heat Press covers shirts, mugs, and hats, which is enough for a lot of small apparel businesses. Add the D2 DTF Printer when you want to stop paying per-transfer and start printing your own designs. Add the E15 Embroidery Machine when you want embroidered designs that HTV and DTF can't produce.

Are these prices final, or will tax and shipping be added?

The prices shown here are the Black Friday product prices. Sales tax and shipping are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. Check the sale page for any free-shipping thresholds during the Black Friday window.
