DSF

Does anyone have any tips for using this stuff? Have spoiled a good few items today trying to get it to work for me. I've been finding that once printed (before pressing) it's kind of powdery and the slightest touch brushes off some of the ink.

My guillotine refuses to cut it properly as it's slightly rubbery, so having to cut out designs by hand (not got funds for a cutter as yet!).

What temperatures, time and pressures do folk use?

And any tips on how to get the backing paper off - that's really driving me nuts! :rolleyes:

what paper is it that you are using, that will help us, also are you using the right ink for the paper ? if the ink is "brushing off" are you sure you are not using sub inks on a printing sheet that needs durabrite or similar inks

I'm using the BMS SubliDark paper - http://www.printerowners.co.uk/sublimat ... -paper.htm

i noticed the same thing myself...could never cut the edges of it properly on my Silhouette Cameo, and the powdery surface...almost like mild sandpaper. Needless to say, I stopped using it after a few sample prints as it didn't seem the best.

never tried this stuff but from experience with transfers i know re pressing with teflon sheet will give more glossy look.
