We press at 190 for 50 seconds at a medium-firm pressure using the ricoh and get brilliant results, let us know how you get on.

Cheers now i know that there is a good and bad side toapaper going to try again

[viccar]

the whiter side goes face down with tru pix and ricoh 3110 if thats any help

It almost looks like it's undercooked but your time and temp suggest otherwise. I don't use a Ricoh but from what I understand cooking times/temps are slightly less than Epsons and therefore blacks can turn brown with overcooking. ARe you sure your press is up to temp? Do you have any way of checking this? May be worth knocking it up a bit and see what happens. (Just in case it's under temp)

I always pre-heat phone inserts slightly before applying the transfer. Pressure wise I just rest the press on top so almost no pressure. Also, you can press these upside down so transfer paper down.

powerdriver prints don't look as 'dynamic' as a normal photo print. The colours become more vibrant once the image is sub transferred onto the substrate.

One last question for now when you print for acrylic blocks what setting do you use on the powerdriver as there is not a setting for acrylic
