I normally press for 2 minutes. In any case 8x10 tissue worked fine,
and a minute or two latter the 11x14 was much more reluctant. I doubt
that the temp changed much over that time. In any case the temperture
indicator didn't show any movement. It's my understanding that the
tissue used bonds as it heats, which is what I prefer.
