Default Who here screenprints their own plastisol transfers?

I've been trying to get the hang of this and can't get a good transfer of plastisol when using my heat press. I am using Trans-60 transfer papers from ValleyLito, Union Ultrasoft Ink and a 9x12 Hix Hobby Lite heat press. After I print the image on the transfer papers, I flash them for about 10 seconds. When I go to press them onto a garment, not all of the ink will come off the transfer sheet. I know these sheets are 60/40 hot-split, but I don't get an even release of the ink. There are some spots on the design that will not transfer to the garment. Any suggestions?

What type of transfer paper are you using? I was under the impression that the Trans-60 did not need an adhesive powder. Should I be using some anyway?
