Yes, you have to pre-heat the puck.

thanks justin.
expect we will have the same probs as you have/ or had :frown:
will post our "attempts" up when we get them through and had a wee go at it

Personally I like the concept but it's a little to 'labour intensive' and fiddly.

Is there an easier/quicker solution/product?

Is there an easier/quicker solution/product?

for phone cases, i can only really see the 2 viable options.
the new 3d machines, or the way we ALL do it now, case and metal insert onto the back....thats the quickest and less fiddly way....
but dont look as good as the 3d cases....

oh there is another option, but it bloody expensive....direct onto the case, same as direct to garment onto t-shirts.
there is a way to modify a epson 1500w printer to do this, but i really dont want to spend £200/300 quid just to strip something down just to try !
and it aint easy......the proper machines cost £1000's...:frown:

i,m just going what justin and a few others who have the 3d machines, yes its little time consuming with the paper, thats where the film come into it own..
once its mastered right, it should be just as quick as the "normal" way we print them now ( 2d )

will tell you better shortly we when get our 3d machines in.....prob be saying the same as the rest....dam corners - and....expect a roasting from uncle justin when we post out efforts up here
