If you are using dye-sublimation ink - it will only properly work on polyster.
Dye sublimation ink doesn't work on cotton.
On poly/cotton blends sublimation ink will only bond with polyester fibres, so the more cotton % is in the blend, the more faded print you'll get.
Usually sye-sublimation transferes are heat pressed at 200C for about 45 sec. For some fabrics you may need to experiment with settings a bit - i.e. drop temperature a little or extend the pressing time - depends on particular fabric you are working with.
I'm new to this and buying my first heat press early next week. I'm seeing one heat press that says the temp maxes out at 270C, and another that goes up to 400C.
I'm in Canada and will drive to Toronto to pick one up, so I found ACS on EBay but it doesn't give an actual model number, and a better priced from Middle Ground with some transfer papers and an extra teflon sheet, and one from BDF which actually lists it as an HT-1515B so it could be a Hix I think which says it only goes to 299C.
