Why Choose HTVRONT H17? Top 5 Advantages

There are many advantages that come with using the new HTVRONT H17 phone case heat press.

1. Versatility to make many creations

You can do more than just transfer designs on phone cases with this heat press. Its versatility makes it possible to use it on coasters, badges, fridge magnets, pet tags, keychains, ceramic tiles, and many more. The machine also offers the ability to switch between different substrates and case styles with minimal setup changes.

2. One fixture for all popular phone brands

The fixture that comes with the heat press is compatible with iPhone 11 and newer models, plus a wide range of Android cases, including Samsung, Google, and Huawei. You don’t need to constantly swap up fixtures for different projects. This helps save on costs and simplifies operations.

3. The transfer perfectly covers all the substrate’s edges

The vacuum tech applies uniform pressure when pressing. This works on curved surfaces that curve up to 135°, ensuring vibrant, bubble-free color throughout the edges.

4. Precise temperature and pressure control

The precise temperature control and custom molds ensure vibrant colors and sharp details, minimizing defects and delivering high-quality results with every print. There is a yellow light on the upper button that sets up the upper heat plate and a red light sets the lower plate. The button beneath it sets the preheating time and transfer time. A short press up or down adjusts it by 5°C, and a long press in either direction adjusts it by 10°C.

It also comes with alignment guides with instructions to help you position the substrate at the exact center. The automatic pressure controls also help avoid the risk of misalignment during set-up and transfer. The heat press also has a software-guided precision alignment tool that helps save time and effort and prevents skewness.

FAQs on The Phone Case Heat Press from HTVRONT

1. How long can I use the H17 heat press continuously?

We recommend letting the device rest for 10-15 minutes after every 1-2 hours of continuous use. This helps prevent overheating and makes it perform well in the long term.

2. Is it possible to press multiple substrates at the same time?

Yes, but ensure you leave at least 1 cm between each substrate to avoid heat interference with the designs. The substrates should also be flat for even heat distribution.

3. Can I use a regular printer for heat transfer printing?

No. It only works with a specialized sublimation printer and ink. The regular inkjet printers cannot print with sublimation ink.

4. What generates the unusual smell when using this heat press?

The smell is most likely from the sublimation ink evaporating or the volatilization of the lubricants on the fixture. This is a normal occurrence. For first-time users, the smell could also be from the burning off of residues from manufacturing, which eventually wears off after being in use multiple times.

5. What items can the HTVRONT H17 Phone Case Heat Press deal with?

Although it is designed for phone cases, you can also use the heat press to customize coasters, badges, luggage tags, ceramic plates, and other flat substrates. Just change the fixtures to match your substrate. Also, ensure the item fits within the heating chamber (203 mm x 117 mm x 20 mm) and that it has a sublimation coating on the surface for good transfer results.

6. What phone cases are supported by the HTVRONT H17 model?

The iPhone fixture can be used to design phone cases for iPhone 11 and up versions. The Android fixture can be used to design cases for Samsung, Google, Xiaomi, Huawei, and other major phone brands. The phone cases should however, be sublimation-coated and can be glossy, matte, gradient, and other special materials. The user manual has a more in-depth guide on this.
