The manufacturer of the transfer should be able to tell you the correct time, temp and pressure - it all differs from brand to brand.

The only time I have had this happen was when I didn't preheat the bottom platen. Two 30 second presses, sans shirt, should do it.

Jeff, try 190-195c for 8-10 seconds. I've never heard of pre heating the base but maybe that would help.

The instructions from many manufacturers include preheating the bottom platen.

Indeed, my Stahl kit came with those instructions, which I had never heard either. It helped quite a bit.
