Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to the whole heatpressing thing and i've recently bought a HIX ht-600... When i close the heatpress it wont lock! ...What do i do?
There should be an adjustment knob on the handle somewhere to increase the pressure. Without enough pressure being applied the press will not lock down.
You are applying too much pressure. back off and adjust press for each transfer as needed. Some are light, some are heavy. If you are trying to close the top and the handle will not lock then you are giving it to much pressure.
