    Many thanks Justin, I will just be pleased to get a decent result with one of own images. I have a heat tray so will give that a go. Cheers Keith

    In answer to your question about reducing times

    That's a see what happens answer. Every press is difference and you may even find when you replace the blanket there might be some minor adjustments to be made. But if you were not happy with the initial result and you had pre warmed I would say the first port of call is a reduction in temp and time.
    USING: Whatever it takes to get the job done...
