Hi all
i am trying to print a solid colour but often get a cloudy bit - where the print/ink hasn't been able to produce solid colour - it seems pressure didn’t get to the whole area?

Any ideas for quick solution?

I use a teflon pillow cushion on my A3 press bed.

What are you trying to press?

Is the press not hot enough in one area of the plate? Maybe the bed has a crease? I'm not sure.
(I've pressed 100s of T-shirts since last july, but this problem crops up every now and again and ruins quite a lot of T-shirts).

Looks like its happening in the exact same spot? What make of press is it? Could be a cool spot on the platen.

Try upping your temperature a bit and test on scraps from your previous misprints. Maybe experiment a bit with the pressure too.
