    Thanks for the tips! It was very helpful for when I get my first heat press I actually need the one here in this video where can I find it?
  • @NannetteC4
    So glad I found your videos!!! Im a beginner with heat pressing! My son has started a running business and is printing shirts as part of his "Team". We are using polyester shirts with sublimation transfers. What Im running into is black specks appearing after we press...the only color in the print is pink....these black specks do not come out of the shirt. Any ideas?
  • @BKPalanca2
    What is the approximate value for the machine budget to start the business from home?
  • @edmurraylife
    Here's a topic that would help me greaatly. Can you all show us what material can be used on waffle knit thermal shirts?
  • @user-mj8jk5fk4e
    Just starting using my heat press and I have a few questions. The videos I watched mentioned not to use a cover when heat pressing. The package I purchased included a flexible application pad - when it is appropriate to use this pad? I used the pad when working with fine polyester material and I realized it greatly increased the pressure setting - is that normal. I also noticed when using a mouse pad it increased the pressure setting. Is that normal or should I lower the pressure setiing when using a mouse pad so that the application pressure is the recommended amount?
  • @mirandadean1105
    Yes on the special orders or using their shirt. I seem to always have trouble with special orders šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚. For me itā€™s the easiest way to loose money. Not always, but has happened a lot
