How we review
IKON Craft is an affiliate site. When you buy through our links to HTVRONT, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. That's the business model, stated plainly — here are the rules that keep it honest.
What our assessments are based on
| Source | What we take from it |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer specifications | Platen sizes, temperature ranges, voltages, prices — verified on the HTVRONT UK store at the date stamped on each page |
| Product documentation | Recommended settings, material compatibility |
| Verified buyer feedback patterns | Recurring praise and recurring complaints — patterns, not single reviews |
| Domain research | How heat transfer actually works: heat, pressure, dwell, peel behaviour |
Our promises
- No invented testing. If we haven't had a machine on our own bench, we say so — every page carries a testing-status box. We never write fake "I unboxed it" stories.
- We name who should NOT buy each product. A review without a "skip it if" section is an advert.
- Commission never changes a verdict. The cheapest machine we link pays us pennies; we recommend the £26.99 Mini2 as the best first purchase anyway, because it is.
- Prices are dated. Every price shows when we checked it. If it's wrong today, the store page wins.
- Corrections are public. Spot an error? Email us via the address on our network hub and we'll fix the page and note the change.
What we don't do
We don't accept payment for coverage, we don't run "sponsored review" placements, and we don't hide affiliate links — every store link on this site is tagged rel="sponsored" and disclosed in the banner at the top of every page.
