I have experimented with printing on metal. They are pendants with a separate plate for printing.
I have used 200c for 40 seconds with light pressure but my images are very faint. Any ideas.
Thanks,
James

Are these sublimation pendants? I would increase pressure to medium (two handed pressure to close the press) and increase time to 50/55 seconds. Faded images are usually something to do with lack of heat/ time and the pressure may be affecting the contact of the paper to the substrate.
