I have no problem being more detailed, sometimes I forget everyone has not watched the previous videos.

Do you have any tips or advice for pressing card stock covers? I'm referring to non-foil versions. Perhaps you could provide a link. This would be useful to me as I prefer to consult someone with experience before I jump in. Thanks in advance for your kind consideration.

stay away from the embossed covers, otherwise the pressing is pretty much the same as any other comic, just might need a bit more pressure.

Great video, thanks for sharing this. I was wondering, do you ever use humidity or steam when pressing foil covers? Do you see any issues using humidity or steam like foil separation or delamination?

I personally don't, I only use humidity when I absolutely have to, and so far I have not had to use on any foils.

I use 100pt cardstock paper instead of 2 papers. It's a bit more rigid and easier to handle

Yes, by all means show us how you press the double-sized ASM. Would be instructive.

in case you did not see it, I posted a video of my pressing of the ASM issues.

Did you put it in a humidifier chamber before the pressing?

no humidity added, (unless you count the high humidity of Houston, TX as the chamber) I only use extra humidity if it is 100% necessary.

Why do you think the pressure is 90 psi? I’d guess it’s more like 90 pounds total distributed over the ~68 square inches of the comic giving about 1.3 psi gauge pressure. My clamshell has no pressure readout and if it did I wouldn’t trust it. Force maybe, not pressure.

Everyone I know estimates by the amount of force you put on the handle, I put about 220lbs of downforce on the handle to close it, so 2.5" handle puts you around 90PSI. Probably wrong way of doing it, but its how we estimate the PSIs, since we can not measure at the bed.

Do you ever press the embossed covers? I would think that would work, but wanted to ask

I have pressed embossed covers, you have to be very careful, you can easily crush the embossing. Usually it is best to do spot pressing.

you have to leave pressure on it till it reaches room temp, if it is still warm it will curl.

usually I use much less pressure, but the cardstock covers need more pressure, especially for the tiny dings. It took me about 45 tries to figure out that you have to bully those dings out.
