    Photo slates, dark spots

    Hi all,

    I wonder if anyone can help? I am fairly new to sublimation, but haven't run into too may problems as yet so this is throwing me! Ive started sublimating slate, and originally the coasters I started off with came out perfectly. But a week or so later, while trying to move on to larger slates, and also while going back to the coasters I'm getting these dark spots over the image.

    Epson eco tank
    Inkforinkjets ink
    s race paper

    Ive tried a combination of temperatures, times, face up, face down, image taped, image placed, blow out paper, pre drying the print on the press, pre heating the slate etc and every time I get these spots.
    I then when back to the aluminium sheets, and they are perfect! not a spot in sight. So I'm not sure if the printer is to blame. I am desperate not to give up, but its getting close to that time now. Very frustrating. I would be ever so grateful for any advice, Thank you in advanced

    Attached is a particularly bad one! (my nephew) Some are much less obvious, but obvious to me none the less.

    Many thanks
    Terri
