    pale subbing

    I am having real problems at present.

    I was subbing glass clocks, coasters, key rings etc with no problem.

    I bought a purse from Isub supplies and followed their advice about printing and pressing.

    This came out of the printer fine but was very pale after pressing.

    I decided I would try pressing again with a much darker print to try and cover up the original, however it still came out very pale.

    Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

    Could be a number of things, first that springs to mind would be press, are you getting a good even heat without cold spots?

    Justin just had it serviced at adkins replaced alot of parts but have said it is now as good as new.

    Paul I haven't done anything different to what I have always done, Its almost as though the paper is not releasing the ink.

    Yeah, double-check your paper is the right way up. Believe me, it happens!

    What a thicko am I

    The paper was the right way round but I loaded it onto the press paper on the bottom instead of on the top, tried it this morning and came out fine.

    Sorry to trouble anyone.
