Signs and Designs 17 Posted January 8, 2016 That looks great, if you don't mind what was your time and temperature, I am getting there but not that nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmarti1 20 Posted January 9, 2016 We were all over the place with time and temp. Just messing around. Most of those were 350 at 60 to 120 seconds in the press. What I have quickly learned is that time and temp don't mean as much as pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmarti1 20 Posted January 10, 2016 That looks great, if you don't mind what was your time and temperature, I am getting there but not that nice We went as high as 400 and as low as 350. Time was from 60 secs to 4 mins. It seemed when we went high and hot the images would ghost, and appear like there were two paws etc. We settled down to 350 and 120-180 and it seems to have quit. I have this press: http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/50066-new-mug-press/ In some ways I wish I didn't have it. It seems that setting the pressure is not easy, and just not really able to get what I would call enough. It's close I suppose. It just doesn't have a lot of play in the only way I can find to adjust it. The pneumatic adjustment is just for the speed opening and closing. All of the videos I watched in Chinese on this one were using 180C and 180 seconds. That is where we are going to try next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted January 10, 2016 I could be wrong but I think you adjust the pressure on that shaft....Try loosening the nut and turning the shaft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
security802 686 Posted January 10, 2016 Correct it is a manual adjust for pressure, if you are doing 11oz it shouldn't need too much more than factory. The + - buttons pushed together switch you from Celsius to fahrenheit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmarti1 20 Posted January 10, 2016 You are correct, I just wanted a bit more pressure than was available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
security802 686 Posted January 10, 2016 You are correct, I just wanted a bit more pressure than was available. I think I went a 1/4 turn to get perfect on mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
