paper texture problem (on smartphone case)

[marini.andrea@me.com]

Hello everyone, I have a problem with cover for smartphone using sublimation paper. The printing is fine but the cover seems to remain opaque (the cover its glossy). Looking the case with a magnifying glass it seems that the effect is due to the texture of the paper that moves on the cover. Someone has already had these problems?


thanks !
Andrea
