Can anyone shed any light as to why a pressed phone case would come out with strips going across its width??? It's hard to see in the pic but the stripes are kind of blue like I'm printing but kind of browny too. I'm trying to sublaminate an iPhone glossy case. It was in for 420 seconds at 190 in a mini 3D sublimation machine.

Would it show up on the print before I sublimate it as the print looked fine. And I only used the printer yesterday. Thanks for replying arfermo

possibly not as you can often get away with several misfiring jets.

Sorry arfermo, do you mean I wouldn't be able to tell on the print?? If so I'll run the cleaning thing tomorrow and retry.
