Default Plastisol transfers

Hi
I have just purchased some pre printed plastisol transfer and I just cannot seem to get them to adhere properly. I have tried the instructions of 180 degree for 15 seconds at medium/firm settings but the transfer will not stick around the edges, any help/advice appreciated

Thanks Bob

Are you talking 180 degrees celsius or Farenheit? My plastisol transfers call for 386 deg F and heavy pressure for 8 - 10 seconds.

I've never seen any with a heat setting that low. You need to be at 350 at the least and more to 400 degrees. Try setting it at 380 for 10 sec at the same pressure.
