Ok so does any 1 know why when i ran my kief threw my dab press it turns so black my normal rosin does this 2 sumtimes i stick alil paper out the back to help avoid blowouts out the back.
I'm no expert whatsoever. I have a press but haven't got the hang of it quite yet. I'm still learning, and then some.
However, from the look of it, it looks like you pressed too hot and maybe for too long as well. Or maybe a combination of those?

Ok its wierd wen i press lower temps then 180°f i gotta let it sit for like 15 min N jus keep pumping the pressure handle every so often cuz the dabpress starts to lose pressure over time. An it still comes out dark anyway. Ill try pressing this other puck i got at a lower temp an ill snap a few pics early in the press an ill time it for each pic so we can see what it looks like at when.

I tried to press keif for diamonds once..takes a long while
start at literally 100 and go up 10 degrees every gentle squeeze .. in a 25 micron bag.
now,
I just use to spice up butter batches and joints haha

@Northern Hydro the pressing into THCa diamonds is something im very curious about, but I have heard it is a notoriously long process for fairly small returns.
There is a whole instructional post in this thread on diamonds if you ever want to go down that road.

Hey All! Back from my summer hiatus, and getting caught up. Sad to see that @Old Salt has fallen ill 
Hope everyone else is doing alright, and hoping @Old Salt and @Grandpa Tokin will be poking their heads back in here ASAP.

Moe, I don't have a press or even do dabs, but I have a buddy who made one with the HF table top press. Sounds like it's it's just as janky as the one you have. He welded a bunch of stiffening stuff on it, and I mean on almost every structural part... then he went got the floor model! LOL!

Oh wow, good looking out @HorseBadoritz. I may just do it then and get a floor model.

This is the 6 ton HF press I use. It is a flimsy pos
But I caught it marked down to 70$ So I got what I paid for. If my plates were caged I think it would be better. I'm collecting material to build a cage

It may be janky...but I can still manage to press some "schite" as @Grandpa Tokin says!
It sure looks a bit hot. Plates were at 195f. Think I should have had it down around 180-185. With a little more time.
But this was just a tester run with most recent harvest, auto chem og.
2gs or less of flower went into this press! Didn't even actually weigh.
