Laser Cutter Job and Settings Log

What this sheet is for
Stop re-testing the same shirt and vinyl every time, and find out why a batch failed by reading back what the press was actually set to.
Who it is for
Small garment decorators, sublimation and vinyl makers, print-on-demand sellers and school or club kit rooms with a heat press.
How to use it
- Identify the press and platen once at the top.
- Fill the settings card with the combinations you have tested and would trust again, noting where each figure came from.
- Log every press job — the blank, the transfer, and the temperature, time, pressure and peel as actually used.
- Write the result honestly, especially the failures: a lifted edge with its settings is the most useful line on the page.
- Move a combination up to the settings card once it has worked more than once.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: A settings card for the combinations you have proven, then a running log of every press — blank, transfer, the temperature, time and pressure actually used, and whether it worked.
Your supplier's figures, proven on your press. No temperatures, times or pressures are printed here. Start from the figures your transfer or vinyl supplier gives for their product on your press, test on a spare blank, and write down what actually worked. The settings card at the top is for the combinations you would trust without testing again.

Questions
Why is there no temperature or time printed for common transfers?
Because the right figures depend on the transfer product, the fabric, and how accurately your press's dial matches its platen — and every press differs. Start from what your transfer supplier says for their product, test on a spare blank, and record what worked on your press.
What is the difference between the two tables?
The first is your proven settings — a short list you would use without testing. The second is the log of everything you actually pressed, including the tests and the failures that produced the top list.
