hi all...used my MDP press for the 1st time, and just want to clarify timing. i had in mind 185 temp for 185 seconds...when reached temperature i put mug (10oz orca) in and closed handle, the timer didn't start.....thinking there's a problem i quickly started timer on my phone.... i took off about 20sec to compensate, after about a further 15sec the timer started to count down from 185sec
have just read a post saying that the mug has to reach a certain temp in press before sublimation begins & timer starts? is my understanding correct? do i basically just put mug in when at 185 degrees and leave it even though in my case i had my mug in press for the recommended 185sec plus an added 35sec (ish)
so 185 degrees for 220sec
