Lol, sounds fun!
For my foamex prints, I have always used normal Ricoh A3 sub paper (item 71-0424 on Mega's site). I don't have any special paper in A3, but I do in A4, so it'll be interesting to see what the difference is like. I might have to do a comparison test in the week

<t>I had the image on top of the board. I tend to peel the paper off while the foam is still quite hot, rather than when its cooled. I lay it flat with something on top long enough for it to start stiffening up (20 seconds maybe??), whip the paper off, then put the weight back on for a few mins ...

Huh! We are not too far from there. We are from Wickford and Rayleigh. I often use Rochford as a cut through to Sarfend.

Thanks for the welcome everyone :redface:

<r>I've been designing stuff for many years now, but I'm new to the world of printing and sublimation.<br/>
This is my 1st attempt at printing onto foamex, and only the 3rd or 4th thing I've ever printed. I think it came out alright all things considered!<br/>

<r>Evening all, from sunny Essex<br/>
I've been designing stuff for other people/companies for years, and thought it's about time I started printing it myself rather than subbing it out and letting someone else make money off my work. Recently, me and a photographer mate of mine have teamed up and ...
