Nope it wont come off

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I have used two different types of paper (Sublisplash-DyeSub). Same result.<br/>
Actually i found posts describing this very same issue from 10 years ago so its pretty common.<br/>
It is know as "orange peel" or "watermarks". It appears usually on the cheaper aluminium sheets with ...

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I will try to reduce the time although im pretty sure i read that longer time means more durability for the print. I will check sublimetals although after Brexit buying from UK businesses is too expensive.<br/>
My press is 40x50 cm but it has no indicator for the pressure so im ...

<t>Well… thats what i thought and thats why i started messing with the settings. This is moisture. The paper needs to dry for 5 minutes. Maybe more. I also reduced the ink density of my Epson Ecotank a bit. Now im able to get pretty good results with 185c and 60 seconds. No cloth or anything else ...

Hi Paul,

Some people say little pressure, some say medium to strong. Some say 90-120 seconds, others 50-60. Its hard to say which settings are right.

Is this because of moisture or wrong settings?

One more question. Do you let the paper dry for a while before pressing?

Is this because of moisture or wrong settings? You can see both the paper and the sheet after pressing.

<t>Hi Andrew,<br/>
<br/>
I have tested many combinations of heat and temperature settings. Nothing worked. I always get the result that you saw in the first photos. Only if i have the sheet on the rubber pad facing up, then the paper and then a piece of cloth, then and only then the coating remains ...

<t>Thanks for the reply Paul. Reducing pressure and adding a piece of cloth on top of everything did the trick. However its clear that now i need to increase time and temp to get the print right since it has blotches all over.<br/>
Any suggestions? I saw that many use 120 seconds. 185c and 90seconds ...

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
Im trying to sublimate thin (0.5mm) aluminium sheets but i get a weird result.<br/>
<br/>
The sheet looks dirty/blurry after sublimation. This happens even if i just use a blank paper with no print.<br/>
<br/>
Any ideas why this is happening? Is it moisture or heat/pressure ...
