eddieb378 41 Posted May 29, 2015 Every license plate I have done has turned out great until last night! I am trying to sub a black back ground on a plate and around the edges it looks like it's not subbing! I have plenty of bleed and I do not see this on other plates, do you guys have a opinion on this? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted May 29, 2015 Maybe you dont have even pressure on your Press? Try increasing the pressure some more, Black is one of the hardest colors to sublimate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eddieb378 41 Posted May 29, 2015 Well I was hoping the verdic wasn't my press but I am guessing that is the problem! Like I said every thing I have made up until this plate has turned out really nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 29, 2015 Do like bill said and up you pressure a little. Are you doing the paper on top or on the bottom> If on the bottom try up top so it's closer to the heat source Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddieb378 41 Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks Jay I will try it and add some pressure I'm not really at a heavy pressure more medium so I can add more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted May 29, 2015 You could also try another image similar however have it a different color like red green and see if the edges are still light. You can take a dollar bill place it in a corner then try to pull it out and repeat for all four corners that will at least let you know you have equal pressure all the way around, if my chance you have a heat gun check the temp all around the press and see if its even ...

eddieb378 41 Posted May 29, 2015 Mr Bill by the heat gun my press is within 4 or 5 degrees on even heat! Now the temp that it says it's at and what it really is is off by 40 degrees. But I have figured out where 400 is and 320 and so on and so on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted May 29, 2015 One other thing to check is to make sure you have the right color profile. I had a update one time and it reset my profiles took about a day to find the issue. Once i fixed that it was fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted May 29, 2015 What program are you using? Try changing the color palette to RGB and use that black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
