4.Do not touch heat plates at any time
5.Adjust pressure knob only when press is in the open position
6.To adjust pressure turn the black pressure screw located between mug holder and pressure lever (clockwise for less pressure and anti clockwise for more pressure as desired).
7.Keep children away from machine at all times

How to program Heat Press
Note: Left arrow select down. Right arrow select UP
1.1Press the mode button once Set Light – ON
1.2Select with arrows - minimum temp kick in (this is normally set about 5-10 degrees below
1.3Required temperature for normal press techniques
1.4This is also the mode you use for slow heat process pressing techniques
2.1Press the mode button. Set and Temperature light – ON
2.2Select with arrows temperature required (min Temp 200℉ max Temp 430℉)
3.1Press mode button. Set and Time light - ON
3.2Select with arrows the seconds you will use for each press (0-999 seconds)
4.1Press mode to exit
4.2The program will stay in memory of the control board
5.1How to use counter when you want to press
5.2Push the right hand button marked with a square and countdown will start when seconds are up buzzer will sound.
5.3Press button again to switch buzzer OFF
Additional Features:
1.Slow Heat Press Techniques: Place the object (i.e. T-shirt) on press bed, adjust pressure to your requirement, and turn on the power switch ON, The temperature starts to rise, once the temperature rise to the initial temperature, the buzzer will send out a short sound. Then press object. Push the button counter once, wait for long buzzer sound, press counter button again, work finish and take out object. The temperature will return gradually to the initial temperature.
2.Normal Heat Press Techniques: only press when set temperature is reached. Counter will only start when selected temperature has been reached the set light will flash in the mean time.
Trouble shooting for transfer quality
A. If the colour is pale: the temperature is too low / the pressure is not correct / or not pressed long enough.
B. If the picture is blurring: Too much transfer time causes proliferation.
C. If a part of picture is blurring: Heat was not distributed correctly through heat plate. Allow more time between press operations. Pressure distribution can also be the cause, which can be set on the four plate surface adjusters. Please note that it has been factory set and there should be no need to adjust them
D. If the pattern is scarred: Transfer time is too long.
E. The pattern of colour is different: the pressure is not correct or the transfer paper is poor quality
F.Adhesive paper: the temperature is too high or poor printing ink
Recommendations
Ceramic tile transfer: (Mugs & Plates transfer is similar)
1.1Parameter: Initial temperature: 230 Fahrenheit. The Maximum temperature: 330 Fahrenheit
1.2The Maximum time of press: 40 seconds some techniques could be longer
T-shirt transfer:
2.1Parameter: Initial temperature: 355 Fahrenheit. The Maximum temperature: 355 Fahrenheit.
2.2The Maximum time of press: (chemical fibre use for sublimation transfer paper: 30-50seconds; pure cotton use for T-shirt transfer paper: 10-20seconds)
Cap pressing:
3.1Unscrew the press bed and fit cap press bed onto the base of the heat press machine by using the wing nuts
3.2Change press head
3.3Adjust height and lock the anti swivel locks of the heat press machine by using the black knob at the back of machine. Before you switch machine ON make sure element wire is plugged in and secured and all components has been secured and fastened REMEMBER to unlock anti swivel lock before adjusting the pressure.

If you want to print on mugs, plates and other popular hard surface items then Dye Sublimation printing is the answer!
Dye Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and pressure.
Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks. You must purchase the mugs, tiles, metals, etc. with the coating already on them, it is not something you can coat yourself. We carry a full line of these sublimatable blanks. When you apply to 100% polyester (ie: our mouse pads and puzzles) you do not need any coating, it is applied directly to the 100% polyester fabric.
You can purchase dye sublimation inks for certain Epson (only) desk top ink jet printers (ie: Epson C82, C84, C86, C88, 1280, 3000, 4000, 4800 & 7600) to do sublimation printing. The printer is not sold directly from Epson with these sublimation inks. We do offer some of these printer models. The sublimation inks are something you would need to buy from a company such as ours and the heat transfer paper that you would print these inks on we also supply. The heat transfer paper for sublimation printing does not have a coating on them. This paper has a special finish on the surface so the inks do not soak into the paper. After you print the transfer paper it is then placed on the product to be applied with a heat press.
PLEASE NOTE: You can switch your printer back to using regular inks at any time. However, it is not practical to switch back and forth. If you are setting up a Sublimation Printing System do not expect to use the same printer for other purposes.
With the improvements in technology used to produce transfers, it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between a garment printed directly with a screen printing press and one printed using an iron-on transfer. In most cases, the iron-on transfer has a soft feel (or hand as we say in the industry) and is as durable.
The advantage to using transfers lies in your ability to run your business with limited inventory. Because you don’t typically print the shirt until it’s sold, you can offer hundreds (even thousands) of designs to your customers just by keeping minimal stock of the transfers which cost considerably less than a pre-printed shirt.
Imagine if you wanted to offer 300 different shirts to your customers. If you carried pre-printed garments, you would have to inventory each design in a minimum of four sizes and keep on hand at least 2-3 pieces of every size. That amounts to inventorying over 3600 shirts. For most small business, this is not realistic. To carry the same 300 designs using transfers you would only have to inventory four sizes of blank garments and 2-3 pieces of each design. This is a more realistic scenario for most small business owners.
