2 small problems with Sunfly (again, I'll post photos tomorrow), that are not related to the machine:
1. Their blanks (plastic with coating) are for film, making that they are smaller than polymer ones (those that are used for paper at 180C) and fit exactly the jig, and sometimes they shrink too much and they are fu***d up but it's quite rare. But you can still use polymer cases of other providers that will shrink normally, but as I said it's rare, and you can still cook at 100C for like 240/360S.
2. Their film is weird because if you print something that has for example horizontal lines, they will not be horizontal lol. In other words, while stretching it doesn't print the exact shapes of the image. I tried other films (gold, silver, transparent, all from other providers) and they don't have this problem, Ivan from Sunfly even admitted that it is a problem that they didn't solve yet.. Once again, I have to investigate this, maybe I have to reduce vacuum delay time (7 seconds) because their film is thinner than the other ones.
Hi malkram,
Thank you for this review: I'm having the same problems.
I'm trying to print some kind of photo mosaic, with white lines separating photos: obviously these lines are straight on the printed film, but the sublimation process causes a distorsion that results in lines with a wave form (the result is also random from one try to the other).
I'm using the A2 machine from Sunfly (

So at first I thought that this error was due to the larger area of the film (maybe amplifying the error).
Can you tell me which products I could try to solve this problem? (keeping the color quality?)
About the blanks - sometimes I get them a bit "warped" so they fit the jig but the surface is not perfectly flat: I think this might be another cause of the lines distortion; what do you think? Do you have any advice about the pre-cook?
Thank you very much
