Hi everyone,
First I'd like to say thanks, to the people who helped me on my other posts. I have a question. I purchased a new heat press, and I'm having a problem when I press my shirts. So far I have only been pressing to test them, but what happens, is on each shirt I press, the part that gets into contact with the heating ellement, gets sort of burnt looking, and darkens to a very light tan. So I end up with a square light-tan spot where it was heated. It makes the part of the shirt that was pressed look almost like it has a bad sweat stain. I was pressing for 10-18 seconds, at 325-360F, with a medium pressure. The shirts I pressed were my old white 100% cotton shirts, but they were totally clean.
Has anyone experianced this before? And does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try, or what might be wrong?
I would greatly appreciate any answers, so I can get this working right.
Thanks,
Nitai
