I bought me a lotos 16x20 off ebay for $187,yeah i know its cheap!
Anyways, i started testing it out.I have some samples from transferexpress.So,lets heat this bad boy up,takes about 7 minutes or so to get it up to 200 c .When pressing for 8 seconds it just doesnt work.Now if i leave it under for 33 seconds it comes out with some peeling on some of the edges of letters.
Numbers come out perfect,but again i have to leave it under atleast 33 seconds.I tried some glitter looking transfer and it just wouldnt go.
I tested all of these on a old shirt,that has been washed like 200 times.Is that where my problem is?Cause i have read some people say wash the shirt first and then some say dont wash.
I also have read that alot of presses no matter the brand,has some give room on the degree.Is the pressure not correct?How tight do you wanna turn that handle?
Any advise will be very helpfull.Yes i know i bought a cheap press.Should i kick the heat up to 250 c?And then it will only take 8-10 seconds?
