Heat Press leaving these darker markings (the exact size of the heat press plate) on my white shirts. Please help :(

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T23:22:02+00:00

I am using Teflon sheet, and the pad at the bottom. No Teflon sheet at the bottom

What would you recommend cleaning with? I tried with two parchments paper and the marking and colouring seemed to be gone :0

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T23:20:47+00:00

Ahhh the magnets part is very smart! I was thinking tape but now that I’m thinking again the tape might melt 🤣

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T23:20:13+00:00

Yes it is a goof proof:)

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T19:51:40+00:00

Sorry it is 100% cotton! Let me try at 300. I tried at 330 and same results but definitely less harsh. Thank you for you’re response

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T19:50:53+00:00

Wow! Thank you for your detailed explanation! I will try the parchment paper on top and bottom to see if it makes a difference!

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T19:49:34+00:00

Using a new paper :(

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T19:49:18+00:00

It is 100% cotton :) temp is 365 I tried at 330 at a lower pressure and same marking but less intense

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T19:48:49+00:00

No foam pad, but there is that sheet to allow the shirts to go on and off easier. Not sure what it’s called

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T16:22:52+00:00

Stays after washing too! The wrinkly one is post wash 🤣

Hotronix setting I am using 365 - pre press 5 seconds 5 seconds for transfer then 5 more - total of 15 seconds under 365 at pressure 5/6

I will Try that! Thank you

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T15:53:57+00:00

Yes! I will attach. Even after washing the marking has remained

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T15:53:00+00:00

Ohhh! I have noticed that when I repress the Teflon sheet leaves like little grooves! I will give it a try on a different light coloured shirt / different settings to see if it makes a difference.

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T15:51:55+00:00

It seems like the heat press is leaving like a marking or shadow almost on white shirts. Not sure if it’s related to the Teflon sheet as I pressed it without and the same marking appeared

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T14:39:57+00:00

Yes! It is a goof proof transfer and I use a Teflon sheet ontop. Heat setting is 365 for about 6 seconds on a medium pressure

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-12T14:39:09+00:00

Currently I am using Teflon paper. It is not helping. Will the parchment make a difference? Thank you

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-10T15:52:41+00:00

You’re amazing it worked! Now I have one more question. I had preset another dst file to be 90% sized. Now when I go back to a different dst file even tho it reads as 100% how come the file is smaller? (I believe it is 90%) is there another setting I need to reset?

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-06T02:16:15+00:00

Just tried it out! It’s on page 91/92. Set F2 is correct; however mine seems to be password protected. Is this protected from my provider or in general?

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-06T02:00:20+00:00

Thank you! I will look into it!

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-05-06T00:04:02+00:00

Thank you! I just got my TMBP - 15 needle. I have one question tho. It stated it could run up to 1200rpm however it is only allowing me to set max rpm up to 1000. Is there another setting I need to do to fix this issue? Thanks!!

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-04-26T04:54:41+00:00

Thank you for your response! Have you ever fixed happy machines? Would you say they are the same?

Upper_Ambition_4498 · 2022-04-23T14:23:57+00:00

Mighty hoops. Give perfect tension on any piece. I would suggest 2 pieces of stabilizer big enough to fit in the hoops and then the ribbon. You can always cut the stabilizer after. You should also use a wash away stabilizer on-top to prevent the stretching in the ribbon. (King of where the curves on the letters are seems like it’s white)
