THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• Although it is suitable for the DTF technique, it is not suitable for DTF transfer film curing. This is because the pressure adjustment is done automatically, making it impossible to adjust the height
• The heating plate is slightly smaller than the platen
• To save time and temperature setting you must modify the preset setting and press the chosen numbered button for 3 seconds
• Before using it for the first time, you must activate the press and the control pod in Design Space by connecting it to your computer
• The timer activates when pressing the handle of the press
• The red light indicates that the control pod is not connected or that the press is locked
