So, I had a customer ask us to apply some sublimation transfers for her, as she discovered she couldn't do them with a hand iron. So, sure, why not, as we're not exactly overwhelmed. The transfer instructions she was given said 400° for 60 seconds, which I thought a tad much, but tried it, and yeah, it was too hot for too long. Oddly, some of the ink transferred up through the paper and seems to have left a stain on the teflon cover sheet. It won't clean off, but it will stain a fresh piece of polyester (I checked it on a scrap piece of poly). Does anyone know a way to clean it? Or should I just get a new one? Thanks in advance

I had this happen a long time ago when I left an orange 50/50 shirt in the heatpress for about 5 minutes. It will eventually go away, but you are best off buying a new one. Unless is really faint and you can press is out a few more times to get rid of it.
