Buy cheap, buy twice and all that!

<t>Ah I see - Sublimation is sounding better by the minute! I thought that I'd probably need around £200 for the printer/inks and £300-£400 for a decent mug press. I'm currently looking for a new press for shirts as mine has pretty much died today - the Geo Knight one I was looking at is around £1k ...

Thanks for all of the info. I think I'll give it a try as the investment for sublimation isn't as much as I'd expected. No doubt I'll be asking for more advice when it comes to producing the mugs. I did read that I have to 'glaze' the mugs - can I do this with the mug press?

Sorry if this sounds stupid but what will I need?.... Will I need a printer dedicated to sublimation inks or can you interchange between sublimation and pigment ink? I really don't want to invest too much as I'm not sure what the demand will be.

<t>I was just about to ask advice on which heat press to buy but I think this thread may have answered my question. I have an unbranded one which finally gave up the ghost today.

No, apart from being a customer. I used to spend a lot of time on t-shirtforums.com and they talked a lot about Neenah papers on there. I spent ages trying to find ...

You could try Laser 1 Opaque - it is compatible with most laser printers and can be plotter trimmed or kiss-cut, weeded and moved with tape. It is always best to buy a sample pack first and testing it out.

I know this thread is rather old but if you're still looking for inkjet paper then I highlight recommend Jet-Pro Sofstretch - it is widely used in the US and delivers high quality, professional results

<t>I use the following papers with good results....<br/>
<br/>
For lights - Techni-Print 4.0<br/>
For darks - Laser 1 Opaque<br/>
<br/>
If you're looking for self-weeding papers then the Image Clip range is worth looking at.<br/>
<br/>
All of the above are Neenah papers (the US manufacturer) and are ...
