    Time and Temp for Heat Press DF50?

    Hi, Can anyone help?

    Excited to get started printing some canvas bags but no instructions included with my heat press.. I've had a go, but prints are coming out pale..

    I've been pressing at 180 for 45 seconds... (was just a guess from other websites)

    Also, should I be placing anything inbetween my bags when pressing, and do I need protective paper underneath or on top of the bag..

    Sorry if these are blonde questions.. but then again I am! LOL

    Thanks in advance... but please hurry as sooooo excited!

    If you got the bags off BMS then thats fine. Whichever bag it is then they have the time and temp on the site
