Guidance for Heat Transfer Press

Heating Platen Size
Regarding the output size, please make sure the chosen heating platen size is larger than the graphics substrates, it’s recommended to leave about 1” or 2.5cm distance from substrate’s edge to heating platen edge.

• US Letter: 216 x 279mm/ 8.5 x 11”
• A4: 210 x 297mm/ 8.3” x 11.7”
• A2: 420 x 594mm/ 16.5 x 23.4”
• Tabloid: 279 x 432mm/ 17” x 11”
• A3: 297 x 420mm/ 11.7” x 16.5”

Four Secrets for Heat Transfer Results

Preheat Silicon Mat & Remove Wrinkles
To make consistent heat transfer process, for first time heat pressing, it’s well recommended to preheat the silicon for 30-60 seconds to ensure more even temperature distribution. When you move forward to sublimate or heat transfer graphics onto your substrates, especial the fabrics products, you’d better to preheat the fabrics products to remove the wrinkles before you put the graphics design on and heat press it.

Teflon Sheet Makes Difference
Teflon sheet is a kind of non-stick sheet that help your substrates, especial when you are applying for dark Ink-jet heat transfer paper. Otherwise the graphics could be stacked on heating platen easily, please keep clam if this case happens, and do not use sharp tools to scratch the graphics as the Teflon coating on heating platen will be scratched. Just wait till heating platen cools down complete and try to peel the paper from edge.

Fully Use Your Machine Characters

Small Accessories Make Big Differences
Our company also provide with heat press accessories, you can order depending on your needs.

• Teflon Sheet: Non-sticky protection for substrates and heating platen, to avoid burn or stacked.
• Tee Square: Alignment tool helps align the graphics on substrates. If you are considering more professional tool, you may consider HD red laser alignment which has better performance.
• Teflon Pillows: Soft Teflon pillow is recommended if sublimated garments have buttons or zippers.
• Accessories Plates: Accessories plates are recommended if your machine have interchange system and you also need smaller plates to do more jobs like trousers, sleeve, label and shoes, etc.
• Lower Plate Covers: These lower plate cover size available in regular sizes, they are well recommended if your heat press has thread-able base, which enable you to thread your garments easily.

Troubleshooting

Q: Heat press does not turn on after plug and play.
A: Please make sure the power plug and socket fitting firmly. If machine is still not able to turn on, this could be loose connection on wire cable, power switch or thermal breaker. Please contact us for spare parts and technical support.

Q: Heat press shuts off during use.
A: This could be thermal breaker tripping for circuit protection, you will need to wait for few minutes and try again. If machine does not turn on, check both the power switch and thermal breaker, you will need to replace either power switch or thermal breaker after troubleshooting.

Q: Timer does not start.
A: This could be control panel failed or timing switch loose connection or activation failed. Please contact us for spare parts and technical support.

Q: Auto-open model does not working properly.
A: Please see user tips for auto-open model on page 3, on that page, we will introduce auto-open model no pop open and not locking down properly, etc. Please contact us if you need more help.

Q: Controller display reads 000
A. This can either be an issue with controller display or heat sensor wire. If heat sensor wire is damaged or disconnected, you will need to replace a new wire. Anyway please contact us for
technical support.

Q: During the sublimation or heat transfer application, sublimation rate is low, or heat transfers are not fully stacked on the substrates.
A: Please make sure sublimation or heat transfer application under correct temperature, time and pressure. Please take an video or several pictures and consult us if problem is not solved.

Q: The transfers are stacked on the heating platen.
A: Transfers like dark ink-jet transfer paper could be stacked on heating platen, you should use a Teflon sheet to cover the transfer paper. Please wait till heating platen cools down complete
and try to peel the paper from edge.

Q: Difficult to peel off the heat transfer paper or vinyl.
A: Please make sure heat transfer materials are warm peel or cold peel, and try to peel off them accordingly.
