Laptop Sleeves Again...

[Glen]

Hi all...hit a problem again with laptop sleeves ..pressing at 192 for 80secs and have tried heavy and medium pressure and still cannot get the print out over parts of the seems along the edge and its full colour photos so looks trash with white faded edges on it after pressing...Anyone any ideas as this is turning into a big waste of money with these

Have you increased the pressure so it is very tight? I had to do this previously with things like phone pouches. Might be worth a try if you can't find a solution.

Thanks Andrew..yes did that mate so it was that tight i could hardly close it..lol...have now wasted 5 trying to get one for a customer..

Thing is i have no problems with the phone pouches at all....

Is the problem around the stitching area? I had a batch of phone pouches a year back where the stitching was quite tight and pulled the sutface to be printed away from the heat. Had to press them both side whilst blank with very firm pressure to "squash" them a bit then did the print after. Stitched neoprene can be a swine to print at times. When my phone pouches come out after a print they are quite a bit thinner than what they started with now. A pre-pressboth sides might help give a better print surface.
