I have been doing some tests with my hotronix fusion heat press and notice the more pressure the more the mlre pretreatment discoloration/box I get. Some of this may be amplified by the moisture leaving the garment as well which will create a box as well. I feel as though even light pressure of 1 on a hotronix device suffices and dialmost eliminates a pretreatment box. The force of even 1 pressure pushes fibers down to reduce fibralation. What is gained by anymore than that beats me. I am curious of anyone elses opinion on this.
I am also curious if anyone uses this light of pressure to cire ink as well. Anajet seems to recommend a levek of 5 for curing ink but that seems excessive. I would think 1 might also be enough again because otherwise you will just create the discoloration from the dried pretreatment chemicals on this second instance of pressing. Again any opinions?
We recommend medium pressure for drying pretreatment and light pressure for drying finished prints.
