topshheet Dye sublimation

Hi Does anyone know the recommended temperature to use in the printing press when dye sublimating? Im using UHMW plasting designed for dye sublimating and is 0.76mm thick.
The last attempt, the plastic came out all wavy after going under the heat of the printing press.
Thanks a lot Matt
