Hi folks
New one on me -:confused: my Epson L1800 has started printing a slightly off-colour / wrong colour / colour cast band at the top of some sheets. Band is about 3-4cm wide, fades in and...

Hi - my Epson L1800 and my (colorimeter profiled and adjusted) monitor seem to be having a difference of opinion about what 'grey' looks like (blue-grey on screen comes out almost forest green on...
Yes, you're probably right. Frustrating tho - I would have concluded that it was a lost cause immediately if it wasn't for the first two or three, which printed absolutely fine, but were a bit...

Dear Hive Mind,
I'm printing some dark grey placemats (double-sided stitched linen-look type) and the internal seam is creating an INCREDIBLY ANNOYING :mad::mad::mad: step in the fabric, which is...
I'd love a copy Lee if you don't mind.

Etsy switched on the charges for the offsite ads on May 4th - my bill has gone up a lot too. If your shop has EVER taken more than $10,000 or around £8500 over the course of a year, the offsite ads...
Hi folks
My HP3805 is on it's way out (lever mechanism is grinding and lopsided despite lubrication and relatively light use). I'm looking for an A3+ swing-away replacement, budget of up to £2k.

... does anyone know of a way to remove or reduce an unwanted faint ink bleed on a substrate?
I am trying to learn how to print bowls using a wrap and oven system (a setup I ditched ages ago as...
Thanks everyone. I think you may have solved my problem!
I didn't realise the cover came off the platen so I took the rubber sheet off and turned it over & through 180 degrees. Seems to have solved...
Mrteajunkie - Thanks for quick reply and good suggestions! Off down to the studio now to check with my metal ruler.
Ahem... you mention a a teflon pillow. You've made me remember that I've got a...
Hi folks
I've got a HP305 press from BMS which until now has been brilliant (it's probably around 2 years old with around 900 cycles on the clock-thing).
Last ten or fifteen items, I'm getting...
Thanks Webtrekker - that's interesting! I've never come across film before.
Not sure it'd work for tiles (I suspect tile stickers would have to be opaque rather than clear...) but I can think of...
Hi folks
Does anyone know anyone who can print tile stickers (the stickers you put over existing ceramic tiles to change the way they look)?
I'm guessing they need to be
fairly thick

Nothing very helpful to add but I had exactly the same experience with my WF7210 and CIE inks. The guys at CIE were really helpful and even replaced the printer at cost, but when the second one...
Thanks Froggy. I fear you're right. Although my studio is small so having someone in there with me would be fairly "intimate". That's why I was thinking about just outsourcing it.
I also hate the...
GoonerGary, I would definitely be the "pain-in-the-backside" client (I'm definitely a pain in the backside client for myself, at the moment)! :cool:
:cool: not really - I'm a millefiori artist and I kinda stumbled into sublimation as a way to put my designs onto mugs (as a bit of an experiment) and now onto lots of other things. I don't do...
You're probably right! I hate sharing my work space with anyone, but getting someone in to do some of the donkey work and who can package fragile items for shipping is probably the best course of...
Hi folks. Happy Christmas everyone.
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I have reached the point where I’m spending too much time making sublimation items and packing them for...
Hi lovely peeps
Does anyone know where I can get 30cm x 40cm sublimation glass worktop protectors (preferably flat rather than chinchilla finish but not desperately bothered). Currently buying...
Thanks - the polyester sheet is a good idea as at the moment I'm using tablecloths... too expensive!
Webtrekker - is aluminium sheet easy to cut? I've got tin snips but usually end up with jagged...
Anyone got a suggestion for the cheapest way to try out how colour combos / designs will turn out when sublimated, before committing to cooking a mug or coaster?
Just need something flat, cheap...
David, honestly I wouldn't get too excited about the oven being the solution to everything. I still have problems with blacks, with over-cooking (white areas going slightly beige), and with...
Looks great to me! But 15 minutes? Blimey, that's long - I'm doing 190 for 9 mins for a single bone china, and 10 mins at 200 for a single ceramic... with 12 mins for two. But then my oven temp is...
