What are you curing with? If it is a conveyor dryer, you might be over cooking the puff causing it to fall like a cake. Try speeding the belt up. If it is a flash dryer, your more likely cooking the surface to fast causing the same results.
Puff is fickle at best, so time and temp is everything.

Default Re: puff additive
The puffing/blowing agent in the puff additive is activated by heat. You need to keep the print in the heat source for longer and probably more heat.
