It could be as simple as the flower you're pressing. I've noticed with the 4 different strains I've pressed, they all come out a different color and texture.
The silicone mat might be absorbing some heat causing you to press harder? I was squeezing the hell outta my flower but have backed that down as well as the heat. Have you tried parchment ? You can always drop your heat and press multiple times if you think you're not extracting it all. Heat is probably going to be the main factor along with your strain.

Try whipping it then putting it in the freezer or the fridge overnight. That may help as well.

The rosin stick too much to the parchment paper. The parchment rips easily.

When I was hand pressing my homemade some of it turned to rosin (I think) when heat was applied for too long, it turned from manageable to to a sticky lump that I couldn't touch at all.
I'm more a joint smoker so that sticky stuff isn't much use I'd rather leave in a manageable state then maybe heat it some more at a later date?

The color I found is relative to what is used and how many times it's washed.

Dried at room temperature for about 9-10 days.

That looks like hash, not rosin.

Just picked up a 6 ton dab press a couple weeks ago and I'm loving this thing. Rosin is Awsome, super tasty and gets you super baked.
And on top of that I think I smoke less than I would if I was smoking joints like usual. I thought because you get so little out of you flowers that I would use more flower than smoking joints, boy was I wrong.
Some strains press terribly, getting 5% or less off some but 20% off others.
So it's key to find the right strains to press I'm finding.
