Looks good Paul! Going to try this stuff at some point, but don't use a Ricoh so will have to wait til more ICC profiles start appearing. Have you tested washability yet on that t-shirt?

Oh, and on a different note, that heat press looks like a nice bit of kit. Are they good?

I found that if the image was a large block of colour the finished feel was just rubbery. The way it has been promoted makes it sound that the final image was going to be in the cotton, like sublimation would be, not on top like a vinyl transfer. I have been disappointed with my results for large images. I have used it for doing smaller multi coloured logos or text though and it has been fine.

I did it only last night but planing to put it through few washes and will report back.

Press is lovely and i actually prefer it over my swing away that is in the dark corner somewhere now

you are right. it has bit stiff feel, but not to much. what you need to do after removing paper is - stuck it under the press again for 3 sec and then stretch immediately after
this will make it MUUUUCH softer.

I just received the paper and did try to sublimate.
But even if I print at high speed on plain paper, ink are very wet and make some line when printing
