180 for 180 should be fine. Are you pre-heating with a blank mug in? Is this a new press or second hand? Did you have pressure very high?

Are you using Powerdriver and have you followed the full setup instructions on the SG site for both this and PS?

If it's a new blanket then the only real reason I can see for the element lines would be too much pressure. It needs to be tight but not overly tight, once you get it spot on you'll be fine. I'm guessing this is an Adkins Studio, latest model?

Powerdriver is just a management console for profiles. Best use this if on PC. if you're Mac then you need the profiles. Have you registered printer with SG yet?+
