Hi peeps,
I have just started using imageclip photo trans, I have no problems printing, image is clear, crisp and well adhered to the paper.
Now I don't know weather my problem lies in the first or second pressing, this is where experience is going to count, when I press to the green sheet most of the time all seems well, I get the printed image with a film mostly uniform all over it and the unprinted part of the paper is clear of any polymers, so I am assuming that i'm ok up to now.
When I do the second press and hot peel, I am left with sometimes a 90 % adhesion sometimes as bad a 50%. Can anyone with any experience of using the paper give advice please.
You may be saving my mind!

Image Clip takes a bit to get the hang of. You need to make sure that the "film" is evenly transferred from the green onto the red paper's toner. I would do a test run by cutting a full piece of paper into 4ths or 6ths, vary your first press. then press them all on a test T making note of the differences. My final dialed in process is to do 3 x 20secs rotating the image on the platen to ensure even poly coverage. If I cheat on that even one rotation, I do not get a good print. I have much better luck with all primary colors, pastel colors transfer unevenly. Read the above link. I actually printed it out and made more notes and that paper sits by my press to refer to if I run into trouble. Good luck!
