Check to make sure that all the PRIXEL pieces get inked before printing. Use an even dabbing motion to apply ink.
Not enough pressure
Push down as hard as you can in the center of the press. Standing up while printing can help you apply more pressure. You can also try putting a stack of paper underneath the paper you're printing on.
PRIXEL pieces not flush
Ensure all the PRIXEL pieces are firmly inserted and their printing surfaces are level before inking and printing.
Overprinting/ blurry prints
Too much pressure
This is usually an issue with the line (green) PRIXEL pieces, which don’t require as much pressure to print. Try pushing down with less pressure.
Too much ink
Use a lighter touch when inking the PRIXEL pieces.
Double printing
Once the press is pushed down, don’t allow it to spring back up until you’re done applying pressure.
Discolored prints
PRIXEL pieces weren’t cleaned between use
Use a damp paper towel or scrap of paper to thoroughly clean PRIXEL pieces after use or when printing with a different color.
Ink pad contaminated with other colors
Rubbing the ink pad on a sheet of scrap paper can help remove the contaminated ink from the surface.
