Cracks in Emerald prints, need help!

Postby Chalamba » Tue Jun 26, 2018 7:37 am

Hi everybody,
I need some help from this great community.
I started getting cracks in my emerald prints. The interesting moment is that the cracks do not have the “flashy” surface of the emerald when broken, but they are rather rough.
It seems to me that i have prolems with projecting the image of the slices.
I got those few months ago, and since my bulb was due to replace, after the new bulb the problem disappeared for a while.
But it also might be software issue.
Any suggestions appriciated!
Thank you!

Since it didn't heal itself during printing, it could be lack of support causing stress on the part during exposure and then peel. That causes those pieces to shift back and forth during the printing process.

I would make my support post larger and the point size a little larger also. It's surprising how much this affects the print.

this might not be a print solution , but from the pic , seems to me that you can salvage this with superglue , it will still cast
