Default Hellppp

Hi,

I am new to this page and the business.

Heres my problem. I recently purchased a heat press with printer, paper, shirts, etc....

When I go to heat press the objects, I do the correct procedures (press before print, check guages, etc.

After pressing the paper, I peel the top off to notice that their is a white left on the shirt and the image is no where to be found. I started to peel the white off the shirt and notice that the image is on the other side.

Can anyone help me as to why this is happing? Ive tried different setting (180-30secs, 190-30secs, 201-25secs and 40secs, 175-40).

On one night I did infact get the heat press to work properly and created some good shirts, but since then, nothing.

Possible problems.

-ive notice the out flash will click on and off.


Thanks
-Beny

Assuming that you are trying to do transfers on dark shirts, the transfer material is two parts: a carrier sheet and a very thin transfer. You print right reading of the transfer, carefully peel it off the carrier, position it on the shirt, cover with teflon sheet and press. Of course, then you have a white background on the shirt. Some try to trim the transfer before separating from the carrier sheet, some try to print the background the shirt color. Neither is satisfactory, which is why I don't use inkjet transfers for dark shirts.
