    Metal sheets

    Hi, I'm printing to aluminium sheets, having some issues though whatever I try, the result ends up with a sort of texture to it which spoils the final image, plus I'm noticing the paper seems to stick to the print rather than coming away, not sure what I'm doing wrong. My most successful print is at the following settings.. 175 degrees for 55 seconds faced down. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Try laying a couple of sheets of copy paper or kitchen roll on the press, then the transfer, then the aluminium, then another sheet of copy paper. This helps to reduce moisture.

    Also, press with minimal pressure.
