So now that I cant print properly 8-) I'm trying out different things, but I'm wondering if there is a correct (I assume there must be) way to print on both sides of an object, i.e. a plastic keyring. May sound daft but if I do it one side at a time will the other side not be spoilt in some way? Or do I do both sides at once?

I guess I could just do it and find out, but I dont want to ruin the press by making a mistake.

Thanks as ever.

I think there may be a way to fo both sides at a time. I used to do the double sided keyrings one side at a time. Make sure it's cool before you do the second side. The tape doesn't seem to affect the unprinted side during pressing.

Did you mean ti write "So now that I cant print properly" ! LOL. :oops:

:lol: I think thats what they call a freudian slip! :lol: Well I think I ment can print :D

Anywho, thanks for that I sort of thought it must be one side at a time but wasnt sure, I read about doing 2 sides at once but it sound difficult.

On something like the FRP items you'll probably be best to print one side at a time. On double sided metal items you can do both sides at the same time as the conductivity of the metal ensures the items heats up evenly and consistently.

Thanks for that Martin, I did wonder if would get hot enough on the bottom, or indeed too hot and the first side would be spoilt.
