Having issues with printing Black.

Hey all,

Well I got myself a new press, and I have been printing white shirts for a bit now, I am now trying to get my darks to work, and I am having issues..

Using the paper specs of 180 degrees for 20-25s and following the instructs to peel the backing, place the image on the shirt face up, and then a parchment paper on top, press and then do a cool peel, the image looks like the attached pic, what am i doing wrong?.

Thanks

Don

180 deg. isn't nearly enough heat. Try 350 @ 10 sec. or less. What paper & inks are you using?

I have no idea what paper i have, but I am using pigment ink, I am thinking i was pressing for to long... 350 for 10 sounds about right...

I'll get back to ya on the results..
