    Pressing faux suede advice

    Why can I still see white when I've sublimated my image on to the faux suede? I can see the white when I brush the fabric in one direction but not in another.

    I've tried different temps, times and a lot more pressure.

    How can I stop this from happening? Or is the nature of the material?

    What transfer paper do you use - you may need a higher release paper, or,
    What thickness/weight of suedette are you using - maybe it's too thick a pile?

    The fabric is 225gsm and the paper truepix. The fabric doesn't feel to thick or the pile to heavy but maybe I'm wrong

    We've used both InkTec's and Coldenhove's transfer papers and had great results, we weren't happy with the short time we tried TruePix for - in terms of how much ink stayed on the paper, the colours not being right, and the high cost compared to InkTec's and Coldenhove's papers.

    We're also using 225g suede.

    Ok, I'll but some of that now. Any advice on where I can buy it in the UK? Looking online I can't see it.

    and Listawood sell a range of Coldenhove papers, which is where we were getting ours before switching to InkTec's ... you get 10% off there if you get premium membership for DSF first!
    Will research InkTec's papers and get back to you.

    I've ordered some inktec, will be here tomorrow, 24"x100m. £30 plus p+p plus vat, how does that compare to what your paying?

    another problem I'm having is the marks left by the ptfe sheet I'm using, what else can I use in place of that? Because the sheet has ripples on it you can see the ripples in the print. I ordered ptfe as I couldn't find a Teflon sheet 50x74cm.

    We buy the 44" rolls, but the pricing is comparable.
    My supplier is out of stock of the 44" - where did you get your 24" from?
