We have no idea about your set up. Your paper ciuld be not sublimatikn paper or inks could be nit sublimatikn inks.


...or you try to print on none sublimation item.

Check your are printing on the correct side of the paper

I could be wrong but I believe you would still get a transfer, even if not a perfect one, if the print is on the wrong side of the paper?

You get a very weak image sometimes, depends on the settings.

makes me wonder if this is standard ink and not sublimation as everything else seems to be in order. Or perhaps the substrate is cotton.

How accurate is the temperature setting on your press? I have a Stahls press that shows 200c when it is only at 145.

Temperature is critical. At lower temperature the ink won't turn to gas so you will get no sublimation. I would get a thermometer and take a reading of the platen heat.
