How long are you pressing for? It takes quite awhile to get a full transfer.

 

[gismobri]

265 start
285 temperature
300 minutes

 

[gismobri]

time I meant not minutes

 

[Ripcord]

Did you happen to turn it on without a cup in it? I did that once and it ruined the heating element. After that it looked like it was working fine but didn't transfer.

 

[gismobri]

Yeah that must be the problem thanks

 

[gismobri]

Yeah I think that must be the problem thanks

It takes some time to complete transfer

Ripcord, what do you means turn it on without a cup in it ?. Are you telling me I have to put the coffee mug on the heat press with the heat transfer and then hit the power bottom ?. Thanks

 

[Ripcord]

I think some presses are like that and others automatically turn off the heating element when you open it. But you do not want it to heat up without a cup in the clamp. It will burn itself out very quickly.

Do you get any transfer?? Are you printing on the proper side of the transfer paper?

your time is to low you should be at 365 to 385 for sublimation mugs. also what kind of press you have.
