Hi all, I've just bought a new Adkins twin mug press from Xpress and have been testing it out today.
I'm getting brown (overheated looking) vertical lines on the transfer paper after pressing which correspond to stripey blurred patches around the middle of
the mugs which is worse on the left hand element when compared to the right.
Ricoh, Sawgrass inks, Trupix paper.
Settings:
180c for 180sec - very burnt paper around middle of mug
175c for 170sec - better but still visible lines and blurring
170c for 165sec - still visible lines and blurring and not enough ink transferred on right hand element.
Not sure where to go from here (pub?). Have tried reducing pressure, it's very light now and this doesn't seem to make a difference.
Got a pallet of mugs arriving tomorrow so slightly concerned!!
TIA
Cath
