Extra information which can help you on your approach to a perfect print
- When the foil leaves the oven (photo 8), you have to start working sterile.
- Work fast and as sterile as you can.
- Wearing gloves during the whole proces makes that you don't leave fingerprints on the foil.
- Provide yourself a clean and draft free working area.
- Makes sure you are clean (hair, face, arms, mouth, arms, cloths, ......) and keep clean during the proces.
- Make sure your equipment is sterile and keep them that way.
- Practise all the motions before you really start printing, this will surely help.
- If you can use sterile latex gloves and use a dustmask (I have heard of people using a snorkel to redirect their breath).
- When replacing the cover (photo 16) I like to use a new, sterile and dry cover. This will help the print to dry.
- After cleaning the working area and the surface is still a little moist you can easely stick aluminium foil to it (photo 14 & 16).
- Fresh bought ziplocks are sterile inside.
- When you are finished printing feel free to send the FSRE some prints.
- Not all glass will survive a pre-heated oven. Warming & cooling glass slowly is a safer way to work.
