Hi, my name is Chris. I just got my first heat press and tried to press a shirt but got a big burn square where the press came into contact. Would that be too much pressure, or too much heat?

By the way I have found that you can make great quesadillas with a heat press, heat it up to about 350 degress and use foil to sandwhich the quesadilla to protect the press.

Quesadillas

That's becasue a Quesadillas are designed better for a heat press than a tee shirt!

I'm not a heat press expert (maybe one will chime in here), but it sounds like too much heat.

mmmmm...quesadillas.

Hi Chris,
My guess is too much TIME.
Temp. between 300-350 should be ok. Time usually between 12-18 seconds! Avg. time I use is 15 seconds. Pre-press the shirt to remove any moisture (approx. 4 secs.) then put your transfer on and press with a medium pressure. Start there.
I am not sure about food preparations!
Good luck.
