Recommended Posts

I just got a shipment of black Hanes 50/50 blend tshirts. (heavyweight) and when I heatpress on my vinyl, it doesn't adhear too well. I have the press at 165*C, and it is a cadcut vinyl.

You might try upping the temp about 10-15 above the manufacturers specs.  Also, repressing for a few after you remove the backer if it's not sticking well.

Maybe try upping the pressure on your press as well.

What vinyl are you using?

shirts were pressed before hand, and i tried pressing for a little longer, and hotter. I was told it may be the ecofilm from cad cut....so it may be a cold peel, i'm trying that.

Eco-Film should be able to peeled Hot or Cold but if you have the CUTII kind then its cold only

Try applying more pressure and if it's Spectra Cut II throw it in the trash and get some real vinyl.

Also grab an infared thermometer and check your platen's temperature.
