Re: Self Weeding Transfers (LoveCut, Yolo)

I have used self weeding paper (kissCut) & found that it doesn't quite do the job, however my designs did consist of quite fine line work, would imagine on a bulkier design that it would be great & would recommend KissCut papers

Re: How long to leave a print before pressing?

Ok, thanks socialgiraffe! glad to know i'm not rushing through things for no reason :smile:
I have however, thrown away prints that i did the day before thinking they would be no good - rather frustrating.
Is there a 'correct' way to store printed sub paper?
