Default SPECTRA color print, what we're doing wrong?

Ok, i hope i will be able to describe this without pictures. We printed our first transfer using Versacamm VP540, we printed on SPECTRA color print from imprintables. The first problem we faced was the contour cut, the material is so thick and we had hard time weeding, but the main problem is that when we pressed it was messed up, we noticed a gasy looking area on the print, we try to press it again but didn't fix it, we still could see it from the clear transfer tape then we waited a couple of minutes till it cooled off then we pealed it, and sure enough it's really messed up
What are we doing wrong? we set the heat as recommended and we pressed it for 15 seconds, maybe we should've let the ink dry a bit before pressing?
