Just received my new Mighty Press (manual pressure adjustment) today. How do i know what is firm / medium / lite pressure. All the way up is Firm? All the way down is Lite?

Transfers from Horizon, instructions say 40-50lbs FIRM. How do i guage this with just a turn knob?

Thanks in advance.

Simple.. first if have to use 2 hands to close it it is firm. if you can open it with one hand it is med. It will come to you as you use it.

thanks Lou, i played with it for a a few hours and put my logo on about 5 t-shirts i had laying around and a sweathsirt. I had plastisol transfers (ganag sheets) of my logo printed by Horizon a month ago and my screenprinted has been pressing them for me. I decided to buy my own press so i can do #'s and transfers myself and i think i am already addicted.

I have seen many of your videos on YouTube and would say you were one of the contributing factors of me buying my own press, i even bought a Tee Square It.

The Temperature guage (0-10) on top seems to be a little weird and will take some time gettign used to. I was tryign to determine what = what and it didnt seem to be very consistent. I turned it on and let it warm up for about 15-20 mins and found aout that 8 = right about 350degrees. I thnk it was running about 50degrees per integer on the dial using 8 / 350degrees as a reference point.

Has anyone determined and posted a scale for the temperature guage on the mighty press? I know it may fluctuate from press to press slightly but it would at least be a good starting point.

Thanks Lou for th info and tips.
