Hi All,
I wonder if I could ask you all what temperature & times you use for pressing sublimation T-shirts as I'm getting quite confused now.
I've looked at suppliers websites to see what they recommend & the odd one seems to have several different setting for much the same sublimation T-shirts.
Many thanks for all your help.

I do them 187c for 50 seconds. I used to do them at 197c but tested my press and I think it was slightly out so I allow for this.
185c for 50-60 sec. If colors are bright thn 60. If dark then 50.

Many thanks Justin & Paul for all your help. I tried Paul's sttings at first & print came out just perfect. Reason I tried Paul's is that I knew he used a combi press just like mine & hey presto I'm one happy bunny now.
I also found a slight problem with my press & that is the centre nut that holds mounting onto which the platten is mounted had come slightly loose. I took it all apart & tightened it up & the pressure now does seem to be better & more even.
I think things could also be looking up for me as a close friend of mine has had a go at designing some new artwork which is something he's never really tried before. The stuff he's done so far is just amazing & we've already got a fair bit of interest with just the first couple of designs. I would love to show them on here but, with the greatest respect we're going to keep it all close to our chests as we don't want anyone ripping them off. I know the majority wouldn't on here but, we've just always got to be a bit careful with the minority haven't we on an open forum.
Once again many thanks for all your help lads & let's hope I'm on my way back now.
