Cloudy transfer

[AZCanuck]

Skye, thanks for the link, I've watched several dye sub video's on youtube, but I hadn't seen that one. That my have been the problem right there!

Paul, there isn't any tag or anything on them, but I'm sure they're for ink jet because I bought them with my printer.

where from??
I remember that i had same coasters before and similar problem.
they did transferred but there was no pop in colours and they looked washed out. i can remember hat times and temps i used as it was looooong time a go.

Is there a high gloss, shiny finish or are they matte? The later would suggest laser transfer coasters as Paul has said. If they are high gloss, then I'd pre press then for 45-ish seconds and see how much moisture comes out of them.

[Paul]

Yes scott, mycoasters was matte.

[AZCanuck]

These are high gloss. I'm going to try again today & let you know what happens.

[AZCanuck]

Well people, problem solved! It must have been the time, I think it was approx. double what it should have been.
This set turned out beautiful!

Glad to see things went better second time around. I'll be having my first bash at sublimating something tomorrow. Think I'll top up on the YouTube bids hehe

Frostee, if you're doing coasters, the tip on the clear plastic sheet is a dandy. I used 2 different coasters when I did mine & the first ones that screwed up didn't have the plastic on them, but the second ones did. I probably would have missed it if it hadn't been for Skye's help with the Youtube link! Just thought I would mention it FYI!

There's a wealth of info here! Thanks again for all of your support!

My stuff didn't arrive to couldn't play today hoping for tomorrow so far I've only got mugs, jigsaws, mouse mats and a slate to have a test with

On confused about your last post though.would have missed what? Did you try print on the protective plastic?

[AZCanuck]

No I didn't Frostee, but I probably would have if it wouldn't have been for Skye's link to the video. I just got lucky on the first ones I did because there wasn't any, but I wasn't looking for it either.

Have fun when your stuff arrives!
