For new fabrics we do initial testing at 200 degrees for 60 seconds.
It is not just the poly/cotton mix percentages that affect things - the thickness/weight of the fabric does too. We've found that thicker fabrics have printed better at lower temps of around 170-180 degrees. Also play with whether you are printing with the fabric on top or the transfer paper - i.e. whether heating the fabric or the inks works best.
