Default heat press creases

Hi! I am new here, but have been reading some of your posts and they have been very helpful.

My first problem is heat press creases. How do I get rid of them. I am in the process of purchasing a new heat press the Hot Tronix Swing away. But the marks that have already have in some of my shirts I am having a hard time trying to get them out.

Help if you can!

Hi teeprint
I think you may be refering to platton marks.
To get rid of these I use a fine spray mist of water.
Platton marks are only the flattening of the fibres, the introduction of a small amount of moisture by using a fine spray mist helps them to fluff-up therefore eliminating the marks.
I use one of those hand held pump up sprayers.

I press the whole shirt to give it a uniform appearance, plus, I think it looks much nicer to the customer when they receive a fully pressed shirt. It looks much neater.
