Pressing
1.
Lift up on the handle to open the press. The gas spring lifter will make
this relatively easy.
2.
Lay out T-Shirt (or other item to be printed) as desired. Lay transfer
paper onto shirt. Adjust the pressure knob clockwise to decrease pressure, and
counter-clockwise to increase pressure. Do not turn the knob counter-clock-
wise too far or the heat platen will disconnect from the machine frame.
4.
Bring the handle down, and clamp the press. The handle should lock
firmly in place, and should point straight-forward. Be sure the Transfer Paper
is well within the silicone pad pressing area.
5.
Consult the Transfer Paper instructions on whether to peel cold ot hot.
Here are suggested pressing time guidlines for different transfer papers:
Ink-Jet Transfer Paper (fabrics)
14-18 seconds
Laser Copier/Printer Transfer Paper (fabrics)
18-25 seconds
Sublimation Transfers (onto Fabrics)
25-30 seconds
Sublimation Transfers (onto FR-Plastic/Woods) 60-70 seconds
6.
Mousepads, coasters, and other thicker matierals ranging into the 1/8”
thickness range may also be pressed. Simply adjust the pressure adjustment
knob as stated in step 2. Again - Do not turn the knob counter-clockwise
too far or the heat platen will disconnect from the machine frame. If this
happens, simply screw in the pressure adjustment knob into the heat platen to
reconnect it.
7.
To avoid re-heating the first transfer when printing double sided T-
Shirts, insert a sheet of cardboard in between the shirt, adjust the height to less
pressure, & press.
Troubleshooting
1.
Transfer is pressed print-side-up and transfer image is burned onto the heat
platen surface. Unplug press, lift heat platen up to allow room to clean. Use strong detergent and
non-abrasive scrubbing sponge to remove transfer material from heat platen.
2.
Heat Platen becomes severely misaligned with silicone pad. Loosen top 2 nuts connecting rear
guide to to the heat platen cover. Lower heat platen 3/4 down, but do not clamp. Rotate heat platen until
square with silicone pad. Clamp the heat platen down fully. Tighten top 2 nuts very tightly to lock heat platen
in position by firming the rear guide position.
3.
Press continuously heats up far beyond normal operating temperature and red light does
not turn off. The thermostat has failed. Call factory to obtain new thermostat and follow instructions for
replacement.
