I just did my first two designs.  I used the Jet Pro Soft stretch.  The first one came out really good.  The second one is good but has a little bit of roughness through the middle.  It seems like I could press it out.  Can I put a teflon sheet on the top of it a press it for a short time to smooth it out?

I usually repress with a teflon sheet as a matter of practice.  It really smooths out the design.

We pressed the original paper at 350 for 25 seconds.  If I repress I assume I would use 350 but for how long?

[FredericDesign]

I've never really timed the repress, but probably 8 to 10 seconds -- doesn't need long . . .  It just smooths out the design.

I TOTALLY think you should repress with Teflon with JPSS. You will get a very smooth finish.

We get a nice finish by just
repress with Parchment Paper.
 We have also repressed with the
Parchment Paper and used a regular iron.

I use Teflon and repress at 15 seconds with most of the paper I use. Many paper manufacturers suggest that it helps press the ink deeper into the fabric and that helps the durability.

I like to re-press, makes the ink smoother and hold better.

I also would suggest 375* for 30 secs for the first press.
peel HOT and then repress for 5-8 secs with either teflon for a shinier finish or parchment for a matte finish
