How to set pressure in your new mug heat press
IMPORTANT: Turn off the heat press before adjusting pressure to avoid accidents.
Instructions from manufacturers of heat transfer vinyl and transfer papers will instruct you to use low,
medium or high pressure during the application process. Here's how to calibrate your machine and identify
those settings.
1.
Turn the pressure knob counterclockwise a few times to lower the pressure.
2.
Place the mug on the heat press and carefully close the heating plate.
3.
Try to move the mug handle.
4.
If the mug moves easily, turn the pressure knob clockwise and try moving the handle again until the
mug doesn't move easily.
5.
Once the mug doesn't move at all the that will be your "medium" pressure.
From the "medium" setting, high pressure will be clockwise one to two turns. Low pressure will be
counterclockwise one or two turns. (The number of turns will depend on the thickness of the garment).
