I'm having problems printing laptop covers. When pressing the laptop cover expands with the heat and I get two images overlapping each other. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do as they are quite expensive to keep wasting. Thanks

Ok, a little clarification would be good here. What pressure do you have? I crank it up until my biceps a bulging at the seams when I close the press!

Are you using heat tape to keep the image in place as it sounds like ghosting which happens when the paper moves slightly
We tend to have a good 5mm blead around the edges as the pouches can 'spread' a little under pressure. So long as you come down firm and hard then this should avoid any ghosting.
yup using heat tape, it is ghosting as had that before, but cannot stop it with these for some reason
sorry what do you mean about the 5mm bleed????

We definately tape them and press them as hard as possible, in fact my wife wont do them because of the failures. Since taping them and pressing hard we havent lost one.
[QUOTE=AdamB;23087]make the printed image larger than the thing your trying to put it on ..................... the image will overlap the item that way to ensure full coverage :-)
yea know what you mean now, but this wont make any difference if you are only printing in the middle of the item with a white border.
I tape the paper and press as hard as possible for 50 secs, but everyone comes out with double images.
Can the laptop cover take extra heat with less time?
