it looks like your heat press is not hot enough! how do you know if this press reach the wanted temp??? have you got it displayed on the screen?

there is no temp display.....there is only a timer....it says when you 1st turn it on... put a blank mug in and leave on for 250 seconds ..then put in your mug with the transfer for 180 seconds which is what i have done....and it seams to work on the 1st mug but the 2nd mug is faint....the instruction say for the 2nd mug there is no need to do a 250second warm up....but i have tried to do this just incase the machine had lost a bit heat............i have even heated up a mug but still get the same result

I would have thought a temp gauge is a must, timer you could do externally but if you don't know the temp it'll be tricky. I borrowed a laser temp gun from work to test my presses, about £50 to buy but proved really useful...and interesting. I think it's going to be really hard to eliminate other problems unless you're 100% sure the press is up to temp.
