Burned or faded results

When you are getting burned or faded results while using a heat press, here are some things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Temperature accuracy: Ensure that the temperature settings on your heat press are accurate and consistent. Use a reliable thermometer to verify the actual temperature of the heat press and compare it with the set temperature. Adjust as necessary.

2. Pressure: Check the pressure adjustment of your heat press. If the pressure is too high, it can cause burns on the substrate or transfer material. Make sure the pressure is evenly distributed across the entire heat platen.

3. Substrate compatibility: Ensure that the substrate you are using is suitable for heat transfer. Different materials require specific temperature and pressure settings. Verify that the substrate can withstand the heat and pressure applied during the transfer process.

4. Transfer material quality: Examine the quality of the transfer material you are using. Poor-quality transfer material may not produce vibrant or long-lasting results. Ensure that you are using high-quality transfer paper or vinyl suitable for your specific application.

5. Heat press calibration: Check if your heat press requires calibration. Over time, heat presses may lose their accuracy, resulting in inconsistent heat distribution. Consult the manufacturer's instructions on how to calibrate your specific heat press model.

6. Heat press maintenance: Clean the heat platen regularly to remove any residue or debris that may interfere with heat transfer. A dirty or damaged heat platen can lead to uneven heating or adhesion issues.

7. Heat press technique: Evaluate your heat press technique. Ensure that you are applying even pressure, aligning the transfer material correctly, and using proper pressing time. Avoid overexposure to heat or excessive pressure that can cause burning or fading.

8. Test with sample pieces: Conduct test runs with sample pieces to fine-tune your settings and determine the ideal combination of temperature, pressure, and pressing time for your specific materials.
