hi, ive just bought the 8 in 1 heat press from corelgraph and was wanting to find out how long you have to heat it up before pressing anything, also would i have to use any teflon sheets with it as well.

I got 5in1 i bought years a goooo and it takes about 10-15 minutes to heat up main element (flat bed). there is a temp display so dont waorry you will know exactly when is heat up to your temp. also I would recomend to use teflon sheet or grease proff paper to keep your press clean.

they do bend a bit. you need to put something heavy on them stright after you press them. thats what other recomend any way
