I've just starting using jpss and i'm getting little holes in the transfer once applied. Can anyone tell me what i might be doing wrong? i'm pressing heavy at 190c for 30 sec.

That is caused by lint. You can minimize it by using lint remover. Some brand like Gildan and Anvil are known to have excessive lint

Thank you i guessed this was the problem, i did use a lint role but its still i problem. It FOTL Heavy Cotton. I will keep a closer eye thank you.

!00% cotton does have what is called pilling which is more like a small snag just slightly have the surface of the shirt. Use 50/50 which is better over 100%. 50/50 fabric does not have pilling problem and the fiber does not breakdown over prolonged wash cycles. 100% cotton fiber breaks down sooner which will make the image look faded after washed several times.

This is still a problem even with gildans softstyle which is a tighter smoother shirt. Could something else be exaggerate the problem? I'm pre pressing the shirts and rolling first i can not see any lumps yet its still giving holes. I've got my hotronix pressure set at 8-9 as the instructions say heavy press, is this to much pressure? I know 50/50 is popular in the states but here in the UK they are a little more difficult to find.

I was having that same problem when I was hot peeling the transfer as soon as i opened the press.
Now I open the press and wait about 10 sec. then peel the transfer.
Not sure if you tried this.
