Default Help Dial In My Settings

Just did a semi-final test run and I need to dial in my settings just a tad.

Sunie 15"x15"
320F
20 seconds
Siser Easy Weed
Anvil 6.1 black t-shirt

I think it may be the heat press platen needing a hair adjustment but I'll post the specifics to be sure.

The graphic is 7"x12". The top half came out of the wash test pretty even and smooth while the bottom half came out somewhat wrinkled. The top half appears to have applied pretty thorough, although there's a small spot here and there that is not quite "there." The bottom half has spots where a little more of the graphic is lifted off, mainly where the vinyl wrinkled up. This is just a wash test, t-shirt has not been tossed in the dryer. Pressure is cranked up all the way.

One thing I have noticed is the platen is somewhat uneven. Dollar bill test revealed that the one half of the platen does not have the same amount of pressure as the other half.

If it's just my settings, how should I fine tune them and if it's the uneven pressure, how do I fix this?

Thank you.
