I seem to quickly warp and need to toss B plates with my Freestyle. I will admit I use my machine—-A LOT! Should the B plates warp that quickly? I try and continue using but the images aren’t cut in a crisp fashion.
Like any machine, this plate will warp quickly. I try to flip my plate on my Big Shot after a few cuts, if I remember. I know MayMay Made It uses this machine. She might have a few tips on her You Tube channel.

Someone (I don't remember who) has a video on YouTube on fixing warped plates. I tried it and it works great. You boil two large pans of water, put your warped plate in the sink (I put mine on an old jelly roll pan), poor boiling water to cover the plate and then put the other pan of hot water on top of the plate to press down on it. Leave it for about 20 minutes. It does an amazing job of cleaning the plates and straightening them out.

I’m flipping them constantly. Doesn’t seem to help. I wouldn’t mind (or care) if the plate was warped, except with intricate dies/cuts a warped plate doesn’t do a good job on the die cut (I typically roll them through 2x).
I’ve got water boiling and will try. Thank you for posting the video and how-tos! Easy to follow!
Hope it works for you! I had one that was warped that went back to flat. I had another that was super, super warped and had a big crack in it. That one didn't go totally flat but it is way, way better. Good luck with yours!

First experiment complete. This one was warped and cracked. Didn’t seem to improve the warp. Maybe a little. Barely noticeable. Maybe the cracks don’t allow it to go flat? I’m going to repeat the process one more time.

My super-warped one needed a few rounds of treatment. Even though it has a 1-1/2-inch crack in it, it still noticeably improved. Bummer it didn't help yours.
