    xpres heater time setting

    hi all
    i have the xpress (metal unit) heater and just wondering if i have my setting correct as i have temp set at 200 and timer at 5 minutes
    but to me i can sort of see a burn image on the actual image i was puttin on the cup and some of the paper is sort of burnt to a crisp

    all i want to know is this correct - the hotter the better ???

    one last thing

    with my xpres came a white stone sort of thing and i leave it in and put the cup on top of it

    what is this and do i actually need it in ???

    Signal - Transfer paper - sublimation printing 120 gram
    (hard to tell which side is whiter :))

    The expres machine does not have any numbers on it so checked ebay and this is the one :
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XPRES-MAGI...item3cc0048e4f


    the printer is epson s22 and comes with some chipped cartridges in it which i fill with sublimation ink using syringe
    (not best way i know - but what came with system)
    Also the software that is set up is adobe elements 10 and have a color management profile
    I prefer Photoshop but dont know how to transfer the managent file or whatever u call it

    I would start from 185-190C for 180sec. 5min. is far to much for me.
