Yes it is. Something I've been going to order for the past 2 years, but can never make my mind up which ones to get

Hiya, have you tried the suggestions already mentioned on this thread?

Take a look here http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/sh ... -on-shirts

Works a treat!

Justin - I think Shipz means marks from heat plate edges, not paper edges.
I had the same problem and I'm also using xpress t-shirts. Please try to reduce temperature but extend the time. That should reduce heat press marks a little bit and then straight after pressing quick ironing with loads of steam. It works for me

My apols! That'll teach me to read threads quickly

When I print tees I always use the press afterward to iron out the lines (avoiding the printed area obviously).

Doesn't get rid of them completely but it does reduce them.

I think you should try this http://thetshirtman.co.uk/ .

I realise this is an old post but I just wondered if anyone over time has perfected the art of printing t shirts without leaving the platen mark? I did a polo shirt this morning as a trial and I was careful to avoid pressing over the buttons and I ripped the edges of the paper with the image on it. I put a sheet of paper inside the shirt and then covered the lot with a large sheet of paper. [yes I know, that's a lot of paper]. Anyway the image came out fine and there were no paper edge marks, but the platen marks were definitely there. I pressed at 185 for 60 secs. I used a steam iron on it immediately after but you can still see it. Any suggestions please?
