Pre-press check before production.
A quick calibration check helps make sure your press is applying the correct temperature and pressure before you start pressing transfers.
Calibration ensures that both the temperature and pressure are accurate for a flawless transfer.
Use a temperature gun to confirm that the heat press display matches the actual platen temperature.
If there is a discrepancy, note it and adjust your settings so you are pressing at the correct temperature.
