Good evening all,
After months of ooh-ing and argh-ing I bit the bullet this week and bought a Ricoh SG3110DN and small swing away flat-press.
I've spent today installing the printer and drivers (ricoh & sawgrass power driver) and have my first batch of images printed ready to go (colours look dull and some faint lines, but hoping when pressed this will change).
However the press didn't come with any instructions other than how to heat it & set time. This is a silly question, but do I need to, or is it recommended to, use any protective sheets (silicon, teflon etc.) in the press with the items; or just place the item with print-out taped on it in the press (transfer side down?) and go?
Press already has a silicon mat glued to the base and top plate is solid metal (want to press metal phone case inserts, teddy t-shirts and towels)
thanks for any advise or help,
Luke
