hello there.
i have problem with fleece garments and heat pressing.
it seems to melting the shirt with the heat press and it turns out very shiny. Also there ends up being a distinct line where the heat press was and wasn't.
is there any tips for this kind of garments??
thank you.

is it fleece or velour - fleece the mark should go away - can you turn the item around on the heat press -
can you use a different size of platen

Has anyone a solution to this problem?

I am using a Secabo TC5 and fleece sweaters. I am running at 160 degrees celcius with low pressure, at 10 seconds. I get ugly platten marks from the heat of my heat press. It changes reflection color of the garmet and the flecce (100 % polyester) fibers size, thus the length of the fibers get smaller. looks really ugly. tried many different approaches and I dont know how to solve this problem. can anyone help me?

It has nothing to to with paper or edges. it is the heat transfer plate that gives the marks. look here. I have a picture of the fleece.

Anyone know a solution?
