Ok, help needed.
I use a Rocoh SG 3110DN printer with Sawgrass inks and I use subright paper. I have for the last 18 months ran my press at 230 seconds at 190c. The problem recently is I have is the edges are faint and black seems to be brown. this mainly seems to be around the middle on the mug and the bottom, never the top. I preheat the mug on a radiator prior to putting them in the press.
I thought the problem was the blanket and as my press was quite old I brought a new one but to my horror its worse! This mainly seems to be on black & white images, colour is ok but not everytime. Reading the other 'end of my tether' thread I decided to drop the temperture to 170 and the time down to the 180 seconds, the results are even worse with the image being very faint.
I do metal plaques from the same printer and use a different flat bed press and these come out great set at 60 seconds on 190c. Now as you can imagine, I'm a little miffed. I have used the same procedure for the last four years but after replacing the press and wasting a lot of mugs I am slowly getting hacked of with the whole affair.
I use signzworld mugs and up until recently things were fine.
Any help would be appreciated, get a backlog on eBay orders.
Ok, on the advice of a fellow mug presser, I have increased the temp to 200 and took it up to 250 seconds but its still no better so I am thinking something is not right, any help?
