    Does anyone print plates at all?

    Heh everyone :)

    One day I might actually not have an issue LOL

    My new problem is, I've just tried printing a plate in my 3d heat press using the vacuum "thing". It's the first time ive ever used it. Ive obviously done something wrong because the image hasn't transferred properly but I'm not 100% sure what.

    I preheat the press and then put the plate in and pressed the vacuum but, I'm not sure if I should have actually done that while it was cold and then warmed it up? Also, they seemed to put some kind of plastic on top of the plate but no clue what that might be! On one video they didn't put any tape on but I feel maybe I shouldhave LOL

    Do you need both ovens on or just the top one?

    Never done plates, but mugs need both ovens, might be that plates need both as well.

    I did both, maybe i'll have another go and see what happens LOL I'm not sure if somethings not up with my oven because my mugs seem to have a mind of their own as well at the minute :(

    That could be the problem. Presuming you are using "the big red one" they are great machines for a while and then they do start to go wrong, the temperature controller and sensors can develop faults easily and then it tends to be hit and miss on if the repair works or not.
