Re: Cleaning the heat platen

Post by Bob @ Prestige »

Can anyone advise on the best product to clean my top platen, the heat platen (adkins maxi)

Ive got a bit of ghosting when printing my last t shirt and have read some posts saying to use greaseproof paper (new sheet every time)

Think my problem is from re pressing the print and the image partially transferring onto the silicone sheet I have.
