3. Wait for the machine to reach the set temperature.
4. Carefully insert the prepared tumbler into the heating element.
5. Press the "START" button. The machine will automatically press, rotate, and press again according to your settings.
6. Once complete, an alarm will sound, and the machine will release the tumbler. Remove the hot tumbler using heat-resistant gloves.

Printing Parameters Reference

The following table provides recommended settings. Adjustments may be necessary based on material and transfer thickness. Always test with a sample first.

Pressure Value Reference (DN)

Note: As the material and thickness of the transfer are different, the set temperature and time should also be different. Please take a sample to test for a great temperature, time, and pressure first to avoid mistakes and loss in subsequent mass production.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the machine is unplugged and cooled before cleaning. Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Fuse Replacement: If the machine loses power, check the fuse located on the side panel. Replace with one of the provided spare fuses if necessary.
• Heating Element: The heating element is designed for durability with 3 layers of thickened silicone protection. If replacement is ever needed, consult EENOUR customer support.

Troubleshooting

• Uneven Press/Ghosting: Ensure the pressure setting is appropriate for the diameter of your item. The machine supports pressure value settings for cups in the diameter range of 2.75-3.45 inches. A stable and suitable pressure is crucial for even sublimation results.
• Machine Not Heating: Check the power connection and the fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it.
• Paper Not Tight Enough: Ensure the sublimation paper is tightly wrapped around the tumbler/mug and secured with heat tape to prevent gaps or shifting during pressing.
