Re: What's going on with TextPrint-R paper?!

Thanks for the info, Paul. What would you suggest as a good amount of time/temperature, seeing as my normal pressing with TruePix Paper is 30 seconds once my press has reached180C?

Re: What's going on with TextPrint-R paper?!

<t>Can't figure this one out!<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
