Re: Pressing issues with clothing

Thanks for that info. I am using just one piece of rubber at the minute and it is the same size as the platen so it is presumably centered ha.

Re: Pressing issues with clothing

<t>Todays results were better, I think the waving effect was due to the wrinkling of the chip shop paper under the garment (I had this here to protect the press from ink as I sometimes do a back and front print) so I took it off and the result was smooth but my blacks were brown at 200° and 50 ...

Re: Pressing issues with clothing

I wouldn't say so as this is sold as a sublimation shirt from xpres and I have used them before without any problems.

Re: Pressing issues with clothing

Re: Pressing issues with clothing

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I have ordered a 4mm silicon pad so I can try it out. Bonus for these is I can get custom sizes compared to the pillows and unfortunately I don't have any old mouse mats to try out.

Thanks and fingers crossed!
