I don’t own any loklik or htv ront machines yet, but I think the perfect pair would be iCraft along with htvs and loklik heat press for custom purses and tote bags. That would be so cute to be given as a gift for all occasions :gift_heart:

Oh wow that’s very cool I’m gonna start and don’t try to stop me :joy:

  1. Loklik Tumbler press with HTVRONT Tumblers

I was surprised how I nailed it from the first try with my Tumbler press and a Tumbler from HTVRONT which fits perfectly in the press and I didn’t even have to rotate it to get the perfect print :heart_eyes:

  1. Loklik crafter with chrom cardstock

The crafter cuts cardstock very smooth and easy even though I may not find the correct setting in the software it still cutsy Chrome cardstock without a problem.

3.Loklik I craft with adhesive and heat transfer vinyl

The I craft can cuts very small details and letters which no other machine can. I have another brand and wanted to cut a 4 cm name but it didn’t and I cut it with my lovely I craft and it was a success :tada:

4.Automatic heat press with HTV

After I got the automatic heat press I worked like a pro on Tshirts and all kinds of fabrics. I gave it all my trust and it didn’t fail me at all. Everything I press it comes perfectly without a second try :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

5.mini press with htv

These two are a perfect match to make leather projects with htv as I do make leather pouches with personalised names and leather keychains they don’t need toouch heat or pressure this is why the mini press is a perfect way to do them :blush:

Wow! A detailed and insightful share! :star_struck: It’s amazing to see how you’ve experimented with different products and found the perfect match. :sparkles:

My partner and I had a lovely dinner out and now playing video games together. Perfect night :slight_smile:

Here are some of my favorite machine material combos.

  1. LOKLiK Mini 3 Heat press and HTV.
    I made a really cute decal for my daughters shoes and put it on effortlessly with the LOKLiK Mini 3 Heat press because of the curve on the bottom of the mini 3 heat press. Now her friends all have the same decal and rock them at school.

  2. LOKLiK Impress auto 2 - smart and Sublimation HTV
    I love cutting out the HTVRONT Sublimation HTV and pressing it with my LOKLiK Impress auto 2. No need to hunt for settings it’s all there on the machine. Then you place your sublimation print on top and press and you get a really cool effect.

  3. HTVRONT Tumbler Heat Press and HTVRONT Sublimation Mugs
    Not only does the HTVRONT Tumbler Heat Press press any design with ease, but you can press two mugs at once in this tumbler heat press. I made cute birthday presents for the grand parents last year with pictures of my children and best grand pa or best grand ma on the front. It was so great I could do 2 at once.

  4. LOKLiK Crafter / icraft and paper
    I am a cardstock crafter at heart, I first started scrapbooking and now I’m in love with card making. These machines cut paper like a hot knife cuts butter, sometimes you need to adjust your settings but even intricate cuts cut very well. I made this beautiful Valentines Day card for my partner this year.

Valentine’s Day is everyday in our house.:heartbeat::heart: it’s always important to show love on a daily basis.

So let’s start off with the perfect pair other than me and my husband :heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The Perfect Pair: Loklik Auto Heat Press & Loklik iCraft

When it comes to crafting, having the right tools can make all the difference. Among the many options available, the Loklik Auto Heat Press and the Loklik iCraft stand out as the perfect duo, working seamlessly together to bring creativity to life.

Loklik Auto Heat Press: A Game-Changer for Crafters

The Loklik Auto Heat Press is an essential tool for anyone working with heat transfer vinyl (HTV), sublimation, and other heat-applied materials. One of its standout features is its automatic pressure adjustment, ensuring a consistent and even press on every project—no more guessing or manually adjusting pressure levels.

Additionally, the customizable time and temperature settings simplify the entire process. Whether you’re working on fabric, ceramics, or other surfaces, you can easily set and save your preferred settings. This means no more constantly looking up heat settings or memorizing press times—your machine remembers for you! The one-click operation makes it incredibly user-friendly, saving time and effort, especially for crafters running a small business.

This machine is ideal for:

  • Sublimation projects (mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, etc.)
  • HTV projects (custom apparel, accessories, and home decor)
  • Small businesses and hobbyists looking for efficiency and precision

Loklik iCraft: Unlock Endless Creativity

Pairing perfectly with the heat press is the Loklik iCraft, a powerful cutting machine designed for a variety of crafting materials. Not only does it share the same sleek color and design aesthetic as the Auto Heat Press, but it also brings unique features that make it a must-have for any creative workspace.

One of its most impressive features is the matless cutting capability—a major advantage over competitors. This allows users to work with various materials, including vinyl, cardstock, and fabric, without the need for cutting mats, making the process smoother and more efficient. The precision cutting technology ensures sharp, clean cuts, whether you’re creating intricate designs or large-scale projects.

This machine is ideal for:

  • Custom vinyl decals for mugs, tumblers, and walls
  • Cardstock projects like greeting cards, invitations, and scrapbooking
  • HTV designs to be used with the Loklik Auto Heat Press for apparel and accessories

Why These Two Machines Work Perfectly Together

The Loklik Auto Heat Press and Loklik iCraft complement each other beautifully, forming a complete crafting setup. The iCraft machine allows you to design and cut intricate patterns and lettering with ease, while the Auto Heat Press ensures flawless transfers onto fabric, mugs, and other surfaces.

Together, they eliminate the stress of manual adjustments and inconsistent results. Whether you’re running a small business or crafting as a hobby, this dynamic duo offers efficiency, precision, and ease of use, making them the ultimate combination for crafters of all levels.

If you’re looking for the perfect tools to elevate your crafting game, look no further—this pair has you covered!

Yes, you’ll need heat transfer vinyl or HTV / Iron on :slight_smile: You can also get the iron on transfer sheets that you can print on and then iron it on.

Personally I like the pairing of the cutting machines of Loklik (Crafter / iCraff) and the Loklik Mini Press 3 (plus HTVront htv & vinyls) . I have used both in action for several time already.

I like the precison cutting of the Loklik Cutting machines when it comes to standard cutting for HTVs and Vinyls and when you use this with the very handy dandy Loklik mini press 3, you’ll get a pair that can assist you even during travels. Both machines are compact and is great for travel. You can also opt for cutting the vinyls beforehand then bring along the mini press 3, like what I did when I made this personalized hoodie for a nephew

1st I cut all the htv designs using my Loklik Crafter. But since I was pressed for time, I decided to bring my mini press and cut htvs along with me during our vacation so that I can also personally show my nephew-in-law how I personalize garments. I even let him position where he prefers the HTVs to be resulting in a hoodie that can pass as something that came from branded clothing store.

For this project, the perfect pairing was the Loklik cutting machines (Crafter/iCraft) and mini press 3. But I also preferred using the Loklik grip mat & htvs since they are very reliable.

All these items are quite versatile and can be used in many different ways. A little imagination would go a long way when you have these tools :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Plus their aesthetic design makes me want to use and create more fantastic projects.

Our LOVE is like a magnet – North & South Poles (opposites attract). Me and my husband have different views & opinions at most things but at the end of the day we always come up with the best results that we agreed together as one.

Just like pairing a machine with a software/(s), or pairing it with materials, or with other machines, or vise versa. There’s no right or wrong of pairing “same” brand or “different” brands when doing projects. Remember, crafters like us are like scientists who do trial and error; always experiment what is best for our projects to come up with the best results. In my experienced, I’m not afraid to try out different brand of machines such as HTV RONT Auto Tumbler Heat Press & HTV RONT Auto Heat Press 2. Actually, this is my first time to own them. The reason why I bought them was for sublimation projects. I have different heat presses and materials for many years before I got them. I’m excited to pair them as such!

My first project with my HTV RONT Auto Tumbler Heat Press came out perfectly, a gift for my Aunt (which was I shared the project to the community last year). NOTE: I didn’t do any dry run for that first attempt. The second project (which was I shared also) is a different story. I used two (2) different kind of HTV RONT sublimation papers - 125 GSM and the other one that came with the HTV RONT tumblers ( < 120 GSM). NOTE: GSM stands for “grams per square metre”. The higher the number, the heavier the paper and the more premium quality paper has. Based on my results; I am very satisfied with the outcome of my tumbler using the 125 GSM versus the one that came with the tumblers. Also, came out more vibrant! (TIP!: If you want to produce a high quality products for your business or gifts for your loved ones, use the 125 GSM ‘coz it has the capability of absorbing more ink than using a 120 GSM or less in my personal opinion). The ink level used from your printer was the same even if you programmed to print as “high” and “premium presentation matte for both”. The choices are yours to pick which material you will use in this case. THIS IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF PAIRING.

On the other hand, my first project with my HTV RONT Auto Heat Press 2 was amazing!!! Again, this is my first time to use it without any dry run and on top of that I recorded it and shared to both HTV RONT & LokLik Communities. This was the Valentine’s Bow Sublimation on Sweatshirt (as a matter of fact, I’m wearing it today).

I used my Cricut Explore Air2 for cutting all my vinyl (I don’t own any Loklik/HTV RONT cutting machine at the moment). I know from my last experienced with Auto tumbler heat press, using 125 GSM produces a high-quality product therefore, I used it with the right pair of temperature, time, & pressure (scientific guess). I was so satisfied with the results. Looking forward to do more sublimation projects, you can’t be wrong to use HTV RONT 125 GSM Sublimation Paper.

Bottom line is, no matter what brand of machines you have on hand to pair with your software and or your materials, IT’S IN THE USER’S knowledge based on his/her experienced. The most important thing here is, don’t limit yourself for what you ONLY have, or you DON’T have 'coz your creativity is endless and limitless. We learn new things every day. Keep learning and LET’S MAKE IT!

I have two pairs of products I love with HTVRont. The first pair and my favorite is the HTVRont Auto Press and the HTVRont Tumbler Press. These two objects allow me to create great gifts for my loved ones, friends, and family. While there are many items you can make with Auto Heat Press, I love the fact that I can throw in a personalized coffee mug, tumbler, or frosted mug now that I have their tumbler press. I love the tumbler press because all you have to do is set and forget. I love the heat press because it is very easy to use and versatile.

My second favorite pair would be iCraft cutting machine and the Mini Press. I use the mini press for items like hats, shoes, denim clothing (when I am ironing on small patches or designs). The iCraft machine is very quiet and cuts quickly and the mini press gets the job done and saves on space.

I love both of these pairs as both are very user friendly and provide great quality products.

As far as materials, the HTVRont glitter HTV is favorite! It is so easy to weed and it looks great even after several washes.

I have been using Loklik products for 2 years now.
I started with the Loklik Crafter machine since I was looking for a budget-friendly cutter and this is where I started to love crafting, 2 weeks later, I have ordered a mini heat press, then 2 week after I have ordered an automatic heat press and this is where I was able to earn more and learned that I can do more.
Then, last year, I was able to purchase another Loklik product, and this time, I have ordered an Automatic Tumbler Heat Press since I was curious about tumbler and mug sublimation.
And this year, actually just yesterday, I added another member to the family, and this time I purchased the Loklik iCraft since many crafters are talking about it and there’s a lot of good feedback, and I guess it is really a time for an upgrade.
Thank you Loklik for giving us these products.
