Haven't managed to stop it but did dismantle the controller and put a couple of bits of heat tape over the sounder to mute it somewhat.

Hi Linda,

As Richard say's they are from BMS but I haven't actually tried to sell any yet even though they look good......providing you print with the paper the right way round!

<t>Hi Andrew,<br/>
<br/>
Having looked in the paper tray of the printer I'm embarrassed to say you are right. <br/>
This is the first time I have printed blocks and very carefully remembered not to reverse the image, just reversed the paper!<br/>
<br/>
Thanks everyone for your help.<br/>
<br/>

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies, no I haven't used a silicone sheet or mat so far but you are all pointing at a pressure problem.
I will try with a mat and let you know the outcome.

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I'm having a problem with a speckled appearance when printing on acrylic blocks and wondered if anyone has seen this before.<br/>
<br/>
The blocks are from BMS using Tru-Pix Paper and pressing for 7 minutes at 190c although I have tried longer at 200c with the same effect.<br ...

Thank you.

I have been reading the forum for some time and have now taken the plunge and intend to start a printing business. Equipment now on order and looking forward to starting!

Mike
