I don't understand the distress ink. I don't ink my edges until after I cut. Can you explain a little more? But the ink shouldn't make a difference IMHO. If anything, I would think the tape would stick as well over the ink.
Is the tape pulling off the top of all kinds of paper? What kind of paper are you using? |
Good questions. On one piece I had assembled the panel to the bottom already, then taped my die to the bottom card stock. The tape did touch the other layer that had inked edges. The inked edges might have dampened the paper/edges and that caused it to lift the top paper off (?).
But it does lift the top off the paper for 2 other images I ran through the machine. If I pull it very slowly, and at an extreme angle, then I can get it off without too much damage.
Maybe that is the issue. I'm using larger strips of tape, and I do tape the dies down to the paper as well as the dies to each other. This tape reminds me of some of my washi tape. It works great on my arm, but it will grab hold it I run it through the BS. I'm using card stock from 110lb to 65lb. No Mulberry paper or anything that would naturally split in layers.
I'm experimenting with it some more. By running it on my clothes, my arm, and then running it through the BS. I might try misting it with water to see if that doesn't cut down some of the tackiness.
