Do these bench blanks have protective film over the acrylic and have you removed it before pressing?

Thanks. All I can suggest then is to try some different sublimation papers, or even ordinary inkjet copy paper and see if it makes a difference.

Soak overnight in water with washing up liquid, and the paper will easily come off in the morning.
Alcohol wipes for any stubborn bits
