Help! How du you press puff? (Siser Puff + Loklik Impress v2)

Hi everyone.

I hope ypu can help me. I have tried for so long to get the puff to look good, but it never does. It always ends up brainy or not puffy :frowning:

I have tried what feels like every option from 120-135 degrees celcius, 3-12 seconds, 20-80 kg.

Now I am wondering if i can remove the mat on Loklik to make the press more firm. But don’t know if i will ruin the machine.

Or do you have any suggestions??

I’m by no means an expert on this topic but have you pre-pressed your shirt beforehand to get the moisture out?
I found out on smaller scale that it’s better to work with puff HTV when there is a low humidity level and I did put a wooden cutting board underneath. But my experience is limited to a small handheld heatpress and small projects.
Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:

hello @Maja_Petersen welcome to the community :wave: what brand puff do you use, i have seen video’s stating that some puff vinyls don’t puff well at all, this may be the culprit, not your method?

Which brand are you using?
TeckwrapCraft puff is brainy but the glitter puff isn’t.

Thank you all for your help!

I am using Siser Puff, and yes I pre-pressed it. I found out (after 1000 of try and errors) that it was all about the pressure. The more pressure the better! I ended up using wood beneath the shirt instead of the soft mat from Loklik heatpress. Ended up perfect <3

I think when you press puff vinyls it needs more pressure. @Sabeyneh already tried pressing siser puff vinyl and the outcome is really good. Maybe she can share with you the settings using the loklik autopress v2.

if your using Loklik Heatpres you need to change your heat pad into Silicon rubber mat.
