Wrinkled transfer, why?!

I have two of these HTVRONT semi-auto presses. I’m using Bella 3001 shirts. I do a 5 second pre-press, then a 10 second transfer press at 130 lbs and 280°. Then I warm peel and move to the second machine at 280° for 10 seconds at 170 lbs. I know the pressure sounds really high but these machines weren’t bonding the transfer to the shirt under 100 lbs per the DTF manufacturer specs. First press is to get the image to remove and the second press helps me embed into the shirt. I don’t have this problem with Comfort Colors 1717 and I ramp up the temp to 320° for full cotton in that instance.
