I use to press puff transfers from Airwaves and now Art Brands (Impulse Wear). You are right puffs are a bit touchy. I used light to medium pressure to get a descent result. Heavy pressure will compress the print to a point that it will not puff as designed. I would suggest to cut up a transfer and experiment with different heat and pressure settings on scrap fabric until you get consistent good result.
