flex settings for craft robo II

ok. I did some with 180C for 20sec and come out fantastic.
now can you tell me the secret of the brest logo?
how do you do that? it's ok if you do one off. always will look good. but what if you got to make 20 t-shirts? they got to be in this same place spot on! r you using some kind of jig?
come on guys! whats the secret?

If we have to do this then "the secret" is a good old piece of A4 paper and a pencil (and folds in the right place). We start with the crease under the armpit as a point and then fold the paper to give a distance in from this point and a pencil mark or something similar for a point on the paper to where a part of the logo can be referenced. Very basic, but it works

wow! it may work! I am going to try that!
thanx martin!

Time for flex - again, depends on which flex you're using. I tend to press ours at 170 for 20 seconds. Some are hot peal, some are cool peal. The hot peal ones are usually very sticky before you start. If you have the press too hot then you'll leave a glue mark around the edge of the writing!

I have to agree it depends on the flex. I used to use 170 for 15 secs then started to use MDP flex and found 170 to hot. I got glue lines but on a couple i had shrunken vinyl so turneed it down to 150 for 15 secs and excellent results.
