I was pressing samples from Universal but they must have sent the wrong instructions. They are digital transfers for darks, probably from a versacamm, printed on white t-shirt vinyl. The instructions say 385 degrees for 8 seconds but that was a no go so I increased the time to 30 seconds which worked but left me with a sticky transfer. Of course they are closed over the weekend so I can't get in touch. I'm hoping someone will have the info.

For solutions opaque printed with a Versacamm I usually only do ~305 fahrenheit with mask on @ 7 seconds, peel mask hot, put teflon sheet over, press for 7 more seconds, remove teflon sheet hot.

Roland's HTM pressing instructions:

385 sounds a bit hot for all the print/cut transfer material I've used. It almost sounds like it was instructions given for a plastisol transfer. What happened when you pressed for 8 seconds at 385?

Nothing. The vinyl was tacky but peeled right back off the shirt. I think they sent the instructions for their digital for light garments which are made differently.

I've got the press cooling down, I'll try 305 @ 8 seconds and see how it goes.

Update: 305 @ 8 seconds is a no-go. Doesn't stick.

Could it be a "cold peel"?

Here is my recipe sheet for all of the imprintables materials. It varies slightly for the different presses out there but most people have found it pretty good. I hope it helps!

They tell me 10 secs @ 300F, so I'll give that a try and hopefully I didn't hose it with the temp being too high on my first attempt.
