Hi there, i am very new this.

I just recently acquired a Heat press, which i can set the temp and time the t-shirt is pressed for

I have Laser printer which is Cannon LBP5000

I ordered some Laser printing paper for Black t-shirts, I think this is correct. The paper came with Instructions and temp settings for Pressing.

But three things normally happen when i press. Firstly, the Transfer does not stick completely so when i peel it, part of Transfer comes off or just does not stick properly. I tried pressing it longer that suggested 50 seconds and it seems to make no different and the Transfer gets very broken up. from my reading of forums, I think due to Ink overheating and turning to gas, am I correct?

Is this the Paper thats causing the problem or is more do with user error, i.e me doing something wrong. Also is there ways I can fix this.

thank you

You,re lucky you haven't screwed up your laser. Just forget about ebay and get yourself some decent papers from a reputable firm, it will only cost you a few pennies more. Remember shirts are more expensive than papers.
