The drying drum wasn't clean enough for the prints to come off without sticking - or at least some of them sticking. So, I guess like Mike, I used to dry my prints against the canvas cloth and achieve a sort of stipple effect on my prints - which to be honest looked really good. I saw one of these drying machines sell in UK EBay for about £800 - which gladdened my heart to think there are still people beavering away with kit like this. Goodness knows how you would move such a thing. Even with the water drained out of it, the thing would weigh and awful lot and would need to be mounted on a solid (concrete) floor. Martin |

It took me about an hour overall, with a few hiccups on the sewing front. But I'm chuffed how much better it looks and I will definitely be giving it a thorough test after the next printing session. Terry S |
