Hi Arty,
You might wanna check for loose cable connections below the heating element...That is usually the case.

Hi Arty,

Hi guys,
We develop our own Photoshop templates, you can get them here for the models that we carry:

My advice: Take out the damn pizza roller (yes, they cause roller marks on both paper and film in my case) except for the outermost ones. And get printer calibrator to calibrate the color of your...
The black would depend on your ink (the "lightness" of it when being transferred) and temperature (the higher the better, not high enough and you'll get brownish black).
Hi Paul, I wonder what...
They wouldn't know because they're just trader...This is an old machine that is more power hungry and not as efficient and you need to use film. For beginner I would suggest you stick with paper...
This would be a hint:

I don't believe any OTC Chinese machine can yet replicate their machine.
I would see the color on the final media first and then I'll see whether I will need color calibration or not. In my experience, using default Epson profile is pretty accurate already. It might be...
Has anyone ever tried to profile their printer, transfer media and media for phone case? If so, what is your set up, what is your profiler and how did you go about profiling your cases?
I'm...
We might not have the exact same press but I'm sure they both work on the same principle by using film as the transfer medium.
By low-temperature ink I mean low-temperature dye sublimation ink, in...
I have the same press. I would say your temperature and time is much higher than mine. I'm assuming you're not using the low-temperature ink provided from the supplier, in which case I cannot help...
As Steve Jobs said, "good artists copy, great artists steal"? I only bought one file from Graphic River and I studied it. Then we took photos of the physical cases to kind of reproduce that mockup...
Hahaha well I'm not very familiar with using smart object layer. As far as I know the file is based on the Graphic River one.
I use the one on the right hand side and yes, it's been really good with fit. No complain, not even once. The other design that I have is NOT the left hand side. But yea, it can be problem with the...
It may not be your cooling method. It could be the phone case itself. I know there are at least two designs of S4 out there. But, the safest method is always like what Artgamer said, put the phone...
Hi We-Print, feel free to use my 3d mockups here: www.pokaku.com/download-files
They are inspired from the graphic river PSD template.
Best,

Hi Paul,
I've tried printing cases with foil. The ink is the low temperature dye sub and the foil is the silver/transparent one, all supplied from the factory. Tbh the first time I tried it, it...
Hi ArtyGamer, I've been using my machine for almost a year now (time flies heh??). The only major issue I had was the touch panel went faulty and I ordered replacement from the factory. Other than...
Hi George, feel free to visit my website to download template files: http://www.pokaku.com/download-files
I'm planning to use film...My tips are just from the video that I see for the ST-1520. The temperature should be about 130-135 C but I don't know if your ink will transfer optimally at that...
With film you should have it preheated for about 20 seconds inside the press BEFORE you turn on the vacuum. And for film, the pressing temperature should be significantly lower than paper or...
Hi all,
I just purchased the new mini 3d sublimation machine, along with the accompanying low temperature sublimation ink and film. The reason I'm buying this machine is because it can press phone...
Hi Richard,
Getting the ST-3042 is fine, the machine has worked well for me for 8-9 months. No problem honestly other than tearing silicon sheet and an issue once with the touch panel.
However,...
*Speechless*
You, sir. Have mastered this art :cool:
Glad that someone else has started to experiment as well! Let me share my film cases here.
I've done 3 so far.
Case 1: 90 C for film and 190 C for press, total time of 360 seconds with 20...
Hey Mark! Your cases look absolutely fantastic! The corner on the blue case is almost perfect! I never thought that paper could have achieved that kind of result. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I've...
