It does sound like scorch. Are you using a Teflon sheet between the shirt and the top platen?

...that is exactly what I use 50/50 Jerzees and JPSS and I do need to use the teflon sheet or sometimes get scorching because my heat press does not have a constant temperature. You might try the teflon and checking the heat accuracy of your press.
