First off - this is not a complaint at the quality of the product, as they are very nice and I could have sold 50+ of them from the test one I have on a shelf.
This post refers to the Glass Sublimation Photo Frame at BMS: http://www.printerowners.co.uk/subli...hoto-frame.htm
The thing is - I have had loads of breakages when I try to press them which obviously means too much pressure. So, I lower the pressure but have to up the timings.
I've been in communication with Martin at BMS and I think we've ruled out the fact of these being a faulty product -I just need to get it right!
My hope here is that others may be using these and I could compare notes, a few images are below of the 'last' one I tried to press. It seemed to go well but 1 area of the image didn't transfer very well (top left as shown).

The BMS site says to use the following to sublimate this sustrate:
Pressing temp 190 degrees for 90 seconds, medium pressure.
This was the last frame I had and to get a half decent image (as above) I used the following:
Press 1: 195 degrees for 75 seconds
Press 2 (after rotating substrate): 200 degrees for 75 seconds
Press 3 (after rotating substrate): 200 degrees for 75 seconds
(225 secs in total)
Is anyone pressing these with success? If so, could you please compare notes with me :)
Many thanks
Adam
