Hello, thank you for sharing your tips this all sounds solid. I am glad you are getting good use out of your printer - I will have to try these steps next time!
Hello if you are looking to remove black from the image to save on toner, increase softness and print less you can use the black of the actual garment for the black portions of the image by using the KnockMeBlackOut feature

Hello, to marry the A and B sheets together you press at 310 F for 120 seconds. HOWEVER, it is recommended by the manufacturer BEFORE you press the sheets together to first PREHEAT the lower platen by closing the machine at 310 for at least 5 minutes empty so that heat is radiating from the lower platen also

Hello, With features such as rasterizing and knock me out black we can really improve the quality of the hand feel - for softest touch, I would advise the Premium Uninet Transfer media. In my opinion, transfers have are most detectable when we have large coverage areas of a sheet of media

Hello, I would say the quality of the heating element/press is the main thing - temperature accuracy/consistency is key to be successful with these printers. Lesser presses may have "cold spots" or inaccurate temp display which can lead to complications with marrying A+B and application.
Hello, if you are hardwired by a physical USB cable we do not recommend wireless settings or options. In the software you can check on the printer mapping (Queue -> Manage Queues -> Port) to make sure the connection is in place!
I keep looking to see if these images have a paper look to them or is it matted to the shirt? How do I get rid of the paper feel if Im using a white toner printer
Hello, To give a nicer feel and more matte finish we advise after the cold peel to perform an additional press with parchment or craft paper for 5 seconds (same temp). This will seal in the transfer a little better, increase hand feel and leave a matte finish. Uninet also advises to lightly pull around the edges of the transfer after peeling
Hey there, Typically when we get this sort of tech related issue it is related to these 2 specific parts shown in the video at 1:46 and 2:21. Let's make sure we are preforming these properly with the Uninet Standard paper
What does it mean if my design rips while keeping the backer paper off? Does it need to be very hot to peel? Or cooled down? I’ve never been able to get a batch of designs to peel perfectly one design always rips. How do I prevent this?
Hey there! The marrying process of the A->B sheets is the main learning curve here. Let's take a look, please provide the following: -heat press used -time, temperature, pressure used -steps performed before peeling Once we get these we can work on improving our results!
@@AAPrintSupplyCo i’m not exactly sure what the name of the heat press is. But I know I’m using the time and temperature that you recommend in the video. I believe the pressure was at number five as what I could see on the heat press. I followed the instructions to press it for the time and the suggested heat and then I rub it for five seconds with a T-shirt, like suggested in the video and then peel it.
@@TimberWood.Customs Ok, so couple things: -if you are not sure of the heat press brand you may want to check to see if the temperature is accurate by using a heat gun to measure the temperature -if the heat looks good and accurate as displayed you may want to try increasing the pressure a little bit -the actual peel should not be very hot and when you do the rub down on the garment BEFORE peeling try to cover all the printed areas before peeling
Hello, I load in usually about 24 sheets in the correct position per the label inside Tray 1 -make sure in the ProRIP software Tray 1 is selected (there are 2 tabs where we confirm which Tray we are printing from below your preview image) -when changes are made/paper drawer opened, sometimes the printer tries to double check on correct tray so pressing the OK button on the printer can initiate the print jobs
Hi curious to know if the transfers could be made and saved to be used at a later date? Or could I say make a transfer for my family and mail it to them?
Hello, Once the a + b sheets are married together it is advised to apply them within 24 hours. That being said, I have sent transfers out in the past to be applied with no issue. I would try to keep them away from extreme heat or cold for best results but the sooner the better as far as application time
@@bushkillrealty1817 Hey there - wanted to follow back up with you on this. I was on site for training yesterday at Uninet and the technician had a transfer that he married over a year ago and never applied - we were able to successfully transfer onto fabric and then apply a finishing foil to the transfer for a metallic finish. Worked just as good as new

Another full day of failure! I cannot get through this marrying process! This Tussy heat press is giving me a headache! Why did I think I could do this?? I’m going back to my Cricut 🥴
Hey there! The marrying process is for sure the biggest learning curve with white toner. Here's a couple steps we see most people skipping -pre heat the lower platen a full minute by closing the machine at full temperature with nothing in the press -after the marrying time, before peeling, rub the entire transfer area with a fabric or cloth before peeling -in regards to the peeling, start in a corner with higher concentration of print and peel in a smooth controlled motion LOW against the papers - NOT up to the ceiling
If you rasterize the image and did a knockout black, the image will last longer.
Rasterize?
