Well, if you start by lowering the temperature then you can do the following. Print an image out and place on top of a sacrificial mouse mat and then press for say 10 secs and then peel back a corner of the paper and take a peek if the image quality is ok then you can stop heating, if not then press again for another 10 secs and check again. This way you should be able to find the minimum time at a given heat for the image to transfer. I would suggest that you start off by halving the recommended time so if for a mousemat it was 1 min then try 30 secs and then add 10 secs more etc till you find the right time.

I have one of these in my draw http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Non-Contact-D ... 3f1d0f98ff and for £10 it may be worth ordering for peace of mind. I once was sold a press supposedly in deg C and wondered why my flex was not sticking - turned out to be in deg F - luckily my ir thermometer highlighted the issue quickly.

Thats the same thermometer I have most useful
