Hi there,

I am new to the sublimation business and have been testing on some Samsung Galaxy S5 cases that I got as part of a business set up on Ebay, I keep having a problem with the corners of the cases it looks like the ink does not transfer onto the corners and some of the colours don't seem to come out as sharp as they should. I use the st-3042 3D sublimation heat press I preheat the machine to 195c with the puck in, then I put the puck on the case and tape it top and bottom and sides, then I heat two cases at a time at 195c for 9 minutes. And this is what I get most of the time see pictures attached

Try looking here.

I don't have a 3d press but there are many post on the forum about this problem. Also if you look above your post you should see a section that shows you similar threads and the answer may be there.

As well as what Quinn says, you need to make sure you have good quality blanks. The coating needs to be top notch and to be honest you may not get the quality you need from a supplier on Ebay.

I would look at getting in other blanks from a reliable supplier who monitors their quality control.
