    iphone insert Wrinkly?

    Hi All,

    I have just pressed a couple of iphone case aluminium inserts, they looked ok at first but then I noticed after closer examination that they seem to have a wrinkled finish, I definitely removed the clear protective cover off the blank but it does look like it has been pressed with it on!

    I pressed them at 180c for 65 seconds as instructed upon purchase,

    Any help would be highly appreciated

    Thank You in advance

    I presume you are removing the protective film

    Very light pressure, maybe reduce the time back to 50 seconds and make sure you print with the metal up. Put a long piece of tape along one edge, that way you can flip it over to make sure it's pressed ok, if not you can put it back in without the transfer removing and press a little longer :-)

    Thanks for the advice everyone, I am getting some nice results now, I think 65 seconds was a tad too long and i was putting far too much pressure on the plate,

    All happy now Thank you
