Working with Heat Transfer Materials (cont.)
e)
When the pressing cycle is completed
and the buzzer sounds
press the timer button again to silence the buzzer, then release
the handle and raise the heat plate.
f)
Carefully remove
the substrate from the pressing pad (
it will
be very hot
). The transfer can now be carefully removed.
g)
Please refer
to transfer printer’s instructions, to ascertain if the
transfer is ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ peel.
3.2.2
(Optional) large/standard Mug elements
a)
Adjust the pressure
setting of the machine by rotating the
adjusting knob situated on the top of the machine. (See
exploded diagram in this manual). Clockwise for more
pressure, anticlockwise for less pressure. It is always best to
find the most suitable opening before using the transfers in
production. Adjust the position of the Silicone Heating
Element, place mug into machine, positioning it as required.
Make any final adjustments using the pressure
setting.
b)
From a cold start-up
allow the press to heat up to the desired
temperature. Insert a plain mug into the press and close the
handle. The mug will absorb a large amount of heat and the
temperature will drop, but the element will climb to set
temperature within a short time. It is normal for the displayed
temperature on the controller to fall by up to 30
C very quickly
when a cold mug is placed into the press; however the element
is designed to recover up to the set temperature very quickly.
c)
To achieve a good transfer result
the transfer paper should be
placed in the desired position on the mug, securing in place
with heat proof adhesive tape and removing all wrinkles.
Ensure there is sufficient pressure on the mug for good results.
Set the pressure adjustment so that there is good contact with
the mug
.
d)
When the temperature indicator
on the controller reaches the
set value, the machine is ready to print. Remove the plain mug
then place the print mug in position in the press. When you are
satisfied that the mug is in the correct position, gently close the
press with the handle, taking care that the machine jaws do not
catch on the mug handle. Then immediately press the timer
button on top of the control unit to start the pressing cycle.
N.B.
The handle must be in the locked position
ensuring that
the work is fully clamped.
e)
When the pressing cycle is completed
and the buzzer sounds
press the timer button again to silence the buzzer, then release
the handle and raise the heat plate. The mug should then be
released and carefully taken out of the pressing pad (
it will be
very hot
). The transfer can now be carefully removed.
