Do you know if the HPN Craft Pro 15x15 heat press runs hotter? Mine seems to, as it tends to scorch white garments - all material mixes. I've had to set it at 365 for 40 seconds when pressing sublimation prints on top of HTVRont's Sublimation HTV for darks. Also, what is the best pressure for sublimating on top of vinyl to ensure a good transfer of the ink without causing the color of a dark shirt to make any white areas of the HTV less white? For example, I had the word MARSHMALLOWS in my design, which I wanted to be white, so I left that area off of the sublimation print, but when I sublimated the design on top of the white HTV, it turned the word gray. Using 365 for 40 seconds has helped, but I'm still getting a very noticeable square around the design. I cannot tear the edges of the sublimation paper because the design uses most of the paper. I don't use print and cut because my Cameo 2 does not read the registration marks properly.
We're not too sure if that specific press runs hot, but it would account for some of the issues you're having. You can always test the accuracy of your setting and actual heat with these inexpensive heat press test strips: www.transferexpress.com/heat-press-accessories/heat-press-test-kit For the scorching issue on the garments or discoloring of the HTV there may be a few variables in play, including your pressure settings being too high as well as the specific type of HTV you're using. 100% cotton, 50/50 blends or even 100% polyester t-shirts in white should show no discoloration under 400 degrees. Are you using any cover sheets or top platen covers? Sometimes your top platen/heating element may pickup sublimation inks or dyes from garments which may be transferring and discoloring the shirts too.
@@transferexpress I used white copy paper in between the shirt and on top of the sublimation print, then covered entire shirt with white parchment paper.

Hi Lizette Vonk from South Africa
Grid lines on the transfer paper would be helpful.
Where can I purchase a Transfer Kit?
