Guest sciondrgn Posted January 12, 2009 Its possibly it may be to much time or pressure or temp, What material are you pressing and at what settings? Time / Temp / Pressure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CyberSultan 6 Posted January 13, 2009 I am using easyweed not sure on pressure and setting is at 190 on press I do not have a seperate teflon sheet just the one that was taped to upper platen of press when i got it :- Easyweed should be pressed at 302F (150C). If you are pressing at 190C, that is much too hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmoney 0 Posted January 13, 2009 I believe that is my problem thank you all I will try tonight again thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted January 13, 2009 Easyweed should be pressed at 302F (150C), at 10-15 seconds, medium pressure. I mainly use Easyweed myself, work with two different heat presses (Sunie and Hotronix), and do not have any issues with these settings. Hope this helps.

signpro 1 Posted February 15, 2009 I to just bought the same heat press. Im using easyweed vinyl and im going by easyweeds direstions (pressed at 302F (150C), at 10-15 seconds, medium pressure w/ a teflon sheet). I peel mid-way to cool. I notice the letters are not sticking at the ends or in the middle of a letter....? Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted February 15, 2009 Maybe the press is not providing consistent heat throughout the platen? For a good vinyl pressing, you need consistent heat, for the right amount of time, and the correct pressure. You could use an IR thermometer to check the platen. As for Siser Easyweed, it is a hot peel product...so make sure you peel it while hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JogaShop Posted April 30, 2009 anyone know the correct settings when pressing Thermoflex plus?? is it similar to siser can someone give me the numbers like temp, press, time, hot peel, cold peel im having the same problems with the darn thing not sticking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted April 30, 2009 I press Thermoflex Plus at 340 with medium pressure for 15-20 seconds and peel hot, they say to peel cold but I have better luck peeling hot. Also be sure and pre-press the garmet to get out any moisture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted April 30, 2009 In addition to the IR thermo tip above; give the press plenty of warm up time to stabilize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
