Macon Innovations 228 Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks everyone, can I press these more than once? Say to do multiple colors? Or should it all be laid out at one shot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 16, 2015 Yep you can. I usually just press the first layer(s) for a few seconds (like 3-5) so that it will stick good enough to get the carrier up and then the final layer for the full time. I have some designs that are 5 color but that's a lot of press time. You will notice that the shirt will shrink and expand all sorts of ways you don't want it to so sometimes getting everything back to perfect alignment can be troublesome.

Macon Innovations 228 Posted May 16, 2015 Excellent, Thanks.....I can't find my temp gun to check this thing out either so not sure if it's heating evenly or not yet , but it seems to be well built....and I really like the auto open feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 16, 2015 You can usually tell when you are cooking about right if you can start to see the fabric lines through the vinyl. Some colors are easier to see it in like silver. Siser is unbelievably forgiving. I have used it in conjunction with other brands that needed higher temperatures and it didn't phase it. I still try to stick to the 305 for 12-15 but I usually err on the side of caution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very addictive though. You will fins that you turn into a shirt design critique of about every other shirt you come across. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
