Hi,
I've just recently got my equipment and started out and I'm having a few annoying problems and wondered if anyone could help..
Firstly Mugs.. I can't seem to get these right at all, they always seem to look faded... I have my press set at 310f and 120 seconds and quite firm even pressure. I put my mug in when it gets to 310, it drops down then rises back to 310 then I press the button and it counts down. when it gets to 0 I take it straight out and put it into some room temp water to cool then remove paper and it comes out rubbish everytime :( (that obviously doesn't work well then)
Slates.. (356f 200 seconds, firm pressure) well so far I've only done one, but the colour hasn't come out right, it printed out black on the paper, but it looks maroon on the slate and some parts are shiny some are dull.. I didn't use a silicon sheet as I've seen in many tutorials could that be the cause of this at all??
paper.. I ordered my paper from coralgraph and it's all in chinese, so I have no idea what print setting I should be using, also if I'm actually using the right side of the paper (but I guess I would soon find out if not :) ), one side is really white and smooth, the other is not so white and not so smooth.. I assume I should use the shiny white side??
apart from that everything is great :)
anyone able to give me any tips ?? pleeeaase :) I would be highly appreciative...
thanks in advance..
