Re: Tacky attraction
Susan, Trim the film! I cut mine so that I have just the image - not even a clear border. If I don't trim it down to less than the plate size, I always get contact problems. Keith.

I've just been letting the excess hang off all around the edges. That "hangover" gets pulled down by the vacuum pressure, probably creating a tight fit along the perimeter of the plate, further hampering the attempted exit of terrified air molecules. The little test strip I tried yesterday didn't measle. The ohp film was actually a little smaller than the plate. note to self: trim those films. susan
