Im having a bit of a problem with press iPhone covers, im pressing them for 45sec at 170 c. Once pressed, i tried to remove it from the paper but it seemed to be stuck to it and left like a plastic film on the paper very hard to remove. Also the colour is much duller then it should be on the case and the plastic film stuck to the paper looks like the colour i wanted, so the case is orange and the film on the paper is red that i wanted.

I contacted the company i brought these from to check if i needed to remove anything from the mental insert (such as a plastic film) but was told there was nothing to remove from the case.

Any ideas? these are the ones at look a bit glittery:S

I had them from 3 different places ad all of them had plastic film on them. All metal has i think.

Cant seem to find anything to peel off.

Hi Mossy

There is a film on them that you need to remove first. I agree that it is very difficult to tell, but it is there and will need to be removed before pressing.

I will have another look also have i got the temp and time right?

Hold the corner of your metal insert to the top of your press for a second.. and it will warm the plastic enough to peel the edge away.. sometimes you can't tell it's there

BMS website says 190 degrees for 50 seconds.

Even if you did not get them from there, it is fair to assume that that would be a good starting point assuming they are the metal inserts. I have pressed mine from BMS and also some from Merlin at the above temp/time with good results.

Nice tip Renniwano

Yep you guys were right there is a film on it i dont no why the company would say there isn't. doh

try press them on 190C for 70sec if pressing "upsidedown"

Sorted the film now im just having problems with the colour, as you can see its coming out a bit orange instead of the red on the left?

Mug printing was much more simple then this lol
