The paper you purchased should have come with instructions for use. Particularly press tempurature and pressing time. If not, look for it on Coastal's website.
It may need some tweaking once you get started, but it's a good way to begin.

Hi Shawn,
I am a newbie and "researchoholic." I bought the press 2 weeks ago thinking I could use my HP laser printer but have since found out not. So anyway, I think today is the day. I was going to buy the R1900 and just use the Durabrite inks but from what I have read here the heat transfer ink is the way to go, and that little printer seems to be reliable. I am going to bite the bullet and buy the ink system today-I would like to keep in touch to see how things are going with you. I am going to go "Coastal." Decisions, decisions,
Also I have read here to print something out everyday to keep the heads from clogging. Good luck to you.

Great job, great list of supplies. Did you use the 5% discount that Coastal offers forum members? I hope you found it before your purchase.
Here are some threads for you with advice, tips and tricks:
Hot Peel Heat Pressing:
This one is the heat press (hot peel) process step by step, including the *why you do this*:
The next link tells you how to substitute the hot peel for the cold peel process. YOu must follow the directions carefully. A cold peel done wrong will do you wrong.
I personally hot peel while time goes by so I can see how these new cold peel shirts fare in the wash tests going on.

If you bought without using the discount code, I'd say go back and let them know you are a member who didn't see it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. They may give the a retro-discount. I have no idea, but just from dealing with various vendors for what seems all my life, it could happen. They wouldn't have made that money if you gave the code, so they may refund it to you now... especially if you are within 30 days of purchase. Just my thoughts - and they based on nothing to do with experience with Coastal - just experience as a customer a thousand times in life, and and as a seller who has issued credits for worse reasons than that. Good luck to you, hope it works out.
If you sense any reluctance, maybe ask for a Coastal credit toward paper or another product they carry that you use, so the money stays with them. ?? Could work. Good luck!

I think they would not refuse to issue a refund or a credit, after all you are a new customer, and if they treat you well you are coming back for more business.
Good luck.
