Pressing Question

[HighStakesComics]

Can anyone recommend a good paper to use with a Seal M210 Dry Mount Press? I received some when I purchased it, but have since used it all and haven't had much luck replacing it. If someone could help a guy out here or via PM it would be much appreciated.

a good person to ask would be joeypost or some of the other people who do this directly

ask the source you bought it from what kind of paper they included

I lost his contact info. That was my first thought, but Ive hit a dead end.

Figured this out, but it took me three trips to the art supply store. Thanks to all who chimed in.

I will give that a shot as well. Thanks, VW. Tracing paper has been working well on a few books I experimented with. It's very thin and really lets the heat and pressure work the NCBC's while still protecting the book from surface wear. The paper I used originally that came with the press looks very similar to the release paper. Give me a week or two to compare both and I will share my findings if anyone is curious.

I think what's in that picture is dry mount tissue. The tracing paper I have is thin, but solid white. I have yet to try it on anything marketable. I'm still tinkering but so far so good.

Why not try teflon release paper? It's almost indestructible, reusable and doesn't stick to anything. I personally love the stuff.

Yep. Trace paper didn't work out so well on about the 4th book I tried. Ill pick up some release paper today. Thanks for the tips, gang!

Still trying to figure out what's going on with the picture. Is it crayon shavings and are they being pressed?

Teflon > Silicone.

$7 will fix what ails ya and can be reused apparently 1500 times.

At the price of a bowl of soup I have to try it out. Thanks for the tip!

You're going to be so happy with the teflon you'll name a kid after me! Just make sure it's one of the better looking ones in the litter.
