Pink dots on the mug

[leehilton90]

Any ideas have I have done wrong here? the dark blue part have pink dots around them. I gather I have pressed it for too long or not long enough?

Looks like a bit of overspray, had it myself this week, single head clean cured the problem for me.

Thanks Justin. There wasn't anything on the paper when it printer would it still do that?

Print a nozzle check pattern.
What paper are you using lee is it a cheap paper?

[leehilton90]

Nozzle check was perfect and I am using HR Paper 128gsm - Our White Branded paper:

I actually brought the edges in 10mm and cooked it for an extra 10 secs at 5c higher 195c for 160 secs and it got rid of most of the faded apart from the very right bottom corner and right on the edge. but the lines are still visible when you look close

When your pressing your counting from when the press gets back up to temp?
When you close the press the temp will drop quite a bit and then you start the time when you hit the preset temp.

I sub at 185 so I don’t start the time until the press gets back up to 185.
If you starting your time once you close the press your losing press time.

Yeah the timer starts when it gets to 195c and counts from 160. Struggling with he bottom right corner and the edge at the moment. picking up the temp and time fixed some of the issues. really looks like the ink is still on the paper but not sure how to get a good press on the edge I am a good 20mm from the handle

Bump the pressure up should help.
seems a long time for 195 though.
