Re: cheapest smash proof boxes and mailers.

<t>I had lots of problems with smashed mugs in cardboard mailers. I tried bubble wrap inside, and when the problem continued, adding a layer of big bubble wrap outside the box. This took far too much time, and I still suffered broken mugs. I reluctantly changed to polystyrene, and haven't had a ...

Re: Epson SureColour P600 - Print on Cotton/Poly Ink ADVICE

<t>I am also using the Surecolour P600 with a continuous ink system and Inktek Sublinova inks from Ink Experts. I have found it to give good and consistent results, even for a beginner at sublimation. Ink Experts will provide an ICC profile for their inks to help get the print colours right, and are ...

Lion Picture Framing Supplies also have them. I have bought them in the past, and the quality was good. They do have a minimum order though.

Re: Mug Bottom Heat Press

Re: Coaster printing problems

<t>I have now had the chance to do some further work on this. <br/>
<br/>
I think the original problem was not enough pressure. I can now get consistent coasters without the light/patchy/cloudy areas, which is a relief!<br/>
<br/>
I have also come to the conclusion that the temperature readout on my ...

Re: Coaster printing problems

<t>Yes I am. I did make a couple of mistakes, and virtually no ink transferred, so I just turned them over and re-pressed them. I can see a definite increase in the depth of colour in the image as I increase the time, and the residual image on the transfer paper looks lighter as the time increases ...

Re: Coaster printing problems

<t>Thanks for all your suggestion to address this issue.<br/>
<br/>
Well, I have done some more experiments, and made some progress, but not fully solved yet.<br/>
<br/>
To try to ensure there was no moisture on the coasters I gave them 20 seconds in the press without a transfer between a couple of ...

Re: New non sub printer connection

<r>According to the online manual that model has a USB port on the back - its just Epson don't supply a cable for that connection. You can download the full user guide here: <URL url="https://files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd5/cpd51270.pdf"><s>[URL]</s>https://files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd5 ...
