Hi all, I am using an oki c711wt printer and when printing onto the transparent sheet and attempting to marry the A to B, ALL of the ink and design sticks to the B sheet and leaves an imprint on the transparent sheet with no ink left at all. I am setting the press to 320f for 90 seconds as per my instructions and yet it fails every time. What am I doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Jamie
Hello Jamie,
There can be multiple reasons for this…
1. the B-paper was peeled too cold, meaning the glue ripped the toner off the A-foil
–> to avoid this issue make sure to peel the B-paper while it’s still warm/hot and make sure you don’t lift the A-Foil up or remove it from the heat press.
2. the the papers were placed in the wrong order, thus the pressure is not distributed the “right-way”.and instead of the glue getting applied on the toner the toner gets applied onto the glue
–> to avoid this always place the B-paper on top of the A-Foil and not the other way around.
3. the pressure of the heat press is set too high and thus the glues “sticks” too much
–> make sure your pressure is only set to medium pressure (=2-3 bar = 30-43 psi)hope this helps!
BRHello! I am having the same issue with the A foil stinking to the B paper. I tried 320 degrees for 90 seconds and peeled while still hot and i get the sale results on about 15 sheets. I am using a Super Deal PRO 5 in 1 Heat Press but i am not sure if my heat presses pressure is correct. I know the instructions is saying to use light to medium pressure but, how can i tell if i am using the right pressure for the Forever paper? It’s frustrating lol!
Hello mmmartin,
Do you follow all the steps written by Mr Messina?
Try to press with a pressure, so you can just close the press with a bit of resistance. If this will not work, just write me an email (s.leiss@forever-ots.com) with a video, which contains your press process, so I can have a look.Kind Regards
Steven LeißI’m having the same issue but I’m following the instructions. B paper is placed on top of A foil, pressing at 300-320 degrees F. Pressure at 2-3 bar. Covering with parchment paper. Press for 120 sec. Peeling slow and hot without letting A foil lift from bottom plate. Is there any other reason this could be happening? I’m using an Oki c831-ts. Cmyk. Using CenDale brand dtf premium transfer foil with forever dark B paper.
Thanks!Could there be something wrong with my printer? I noticed it takes some time to start printing after I hit print on the computer. Also my ink is getting low. But no low or empty ink warnings.
Or maybe something wrong with the B paper? I bought the A foil new. But the B paper I’m not sure how old it is. I bought all this stuff used recently. But it was working when I first got the printer and supplies.
Dear Jennifer,
The problem seems to be that you are using the wrong products/transfer system.
You write:
“I am using an Oki c831-ts. CMYK. I am using CenDale brand DTF premium transfer film with Forever Dark B paper.”Our complementary 2-paper systems only work in conjunction with their A OR B counterpart.
Only when using both products with a toner-based CMYK laser printer OR a laser printer with WHITE toner (CMY(W) / CMYK+W).
The required product pairings are as follows:
“FOREVER Laser-Dark (No-Cut) A-Foil Finishing” + “FOREVER Laser-Dark (No-Cut) B-Paper LowTemp”
OR
“FOREVER Laser-Dark (No-Cut) A-Foil Finishing” + “FOREVER Laser-Dark (No-Cut) B-Paper PRO”Note that when using a CMYK laser toner without an additional white layer, you can only use solid colors in your designs/transfers – that is, EVERY color of the image/transfer should have a cumulative color value (CMYK value) of at least 100% (e.g.: 50% magenta + 50% yellow gives a 100% colored red, while 20% cyan and 30% yellow only gives 50% light green and is therefore too low)
This means that photos, gradients, bright colors and pastel colors are not transferable and therefore should not be included in your design.BR
