Hello folks, I am new to this forum and also to dye sublimation. I am hoping that someone here may be able to help me.
I took delivery today of a Coralgraph heat press. The, minimal, instructions show a press with a completely different heat/time controller. I am posting a pic of the display that my machine has.
I pressed the loop icon at bottom left of display, this made the temp numbers flash and, using the arrows I set it to 190 degrees. It began heating up.
I pressed the loop icon again and it cycled to the time. I set it to 60 secs.
It carried on heating up and kept going beyond 190 degrees up to 200. The timer reset itself to 15 secs before I could press the red button at the side of the press.
I ended up just winging it and counting elephants at a higher temperature than I wanted. I got reasonable results but it would be nice to know what I am supposed to be doing. At the moment I don't know if the machine is faulty or if I am! Any help would be very much appreciated. I did email Coralgraph but I probably won't hear much until Monday and I am so keen to get going with making things, :)
