anyone print on those photoluxe panels before? - Pictures from sample!

All my friends and relatives who seen this panel was impresed. i must say whats impresed me most was how easy this is to press and very high gloss. this give that extra posh look I am getting more of that next week.

it is very easy to make mistakes with these, but if the image is printed well they have a classy high gloss finish however they are fingerprint magnets i am trying to print some of my friends wedding photos as a gift and they are covered in finger prints ok once wiped, shame they are the price they are though i have wasted some already, also be careful with xpres as i have had a flat top easel without plastic cover so when had the first arch top thought would be the same then melted the plastic lol

what wrong with the ones from BMS ?....i got some through ages ago and they were superb...and only £3.60 incl vat ...hardly breaking the bank now guys at that...even for a few to practice on :rolleyes:

i havent ordered from bms yet as have had free delivery so far from xpres and they have decent prices.

EDIT:well they had free post now its costing me 8 quid to have some photo easels delivered, anyone know any suppliers with free delivery as thats the main reason i was using xpres other than their service

i think it must have been a promotion as i had ordered from them 3 times already and they were doing free post its abut 8 pound now, wish it was samples wouldn't have minded the fact that i wasted them by having incorrect printer setup etc,

I have just printed one of these from BMS and the stand is obviously causing an issue as the opposing corner didn't print properly.. I have a thick padding on the base of my press.. and used a silicone sheet on top to give an even press..

Did I possibly have my press too high on pressure ?? or should I have used something/not used something to compensate for the stand ??

Edited to add.. the corner where the stand was, printed perfectly lol..

Where there is a stand you need to pad it out - mdf, old mousemat etc as you must have a flat printing surface. Anything with an obstruction on the back needs to be dealt with in the same way.

I realised after I had done it.. dumb blonde moment and testing late at night.. wasn't a good combination lol..

Mouse mat to the rescue again (once I have ordered a couple more in lol) thank you Martin
