what is exaclty pad printing

Hi all

posted picture of a plastic handle, wondering if anybody knows how the MG has been put on it as i would like to do similar[ATTACH=CONFIG]708[/ATTACH]

what i meant was should i be using high dpi print settings

also got instructions for my press they say bring upto temp 180 then place mug in and immediately count down from 200 secs

What DPI and other setting should i use when printing my design onto the sub paper

<r><QUOTE author="John G;32039"><s>[QUOTE=John G;32039]</s>Never had to stabalise the temp - put mug in for 180 at 180 and it should be OK. The temp will always drop as your putting a cold mug in, this is already taken into account with the 180 seconds.<e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

Thanks for this i was ...

<r>Thanks for the replies guys, 2nd mug i let temp stabalise then start to rise then counted down from 180 then an extra 30 secs result very good but just a little overcook, i may try lower temp by 10 and allow full 180 secs at stabalised temp<br/>

Thanks for the input guys, i have filled up the ciss tank with sublimation ink and after a few cleans its starting to print good, top tip is to do a few cleans then leave overnight then a few more in the morning remember and shut printer down properly though

No, emptied it and used printer until all ink used but must be still tiny particles left in pipes

I have a epson 950 with ciss using normal printing ink now the question is i have drained all the ink and wanting to start using Sublimation ink, will it have any ill effects when it meets the residual ink left in
