Talking about TexPrint - When's it coming back in @BMS?....i been itchin to try it after pauls comments, but the stuff has been out of stock for ages now.:rolleyes:

We have a load arrive about 2 weeks ago, went into stock and now all sold out again. We only get it occasionally and sell it a bit cheaper to clear it out. If we brought it in normally it would be more expensive than the TruPix paper! TruPix is just as good.

@Paul....LoL....i,ll save your wee legs pal, dont you worry about it.

@Martin...bloody paul keeps buying the lot so no other bugger can get it lol.....
will need to keep an eye out for it - and the tru-pix works perfect by the way. I was just wanted to see what all the ho ha was about with tex-print

I'm back!

Can't believe I have been halted on this for almost a year now, damn life troubles!

I've managed to get myself a second hand Geo Knight swing press with cap attachment and box 25 mixed tshirts for £225 - thought that was a cracking deal. I'm also working with vinyl too, but early days.

Just need to buy my ink, and hopefully now life has settled can begin enterprising the Brother route.

What a fantastic and informative review, thank you for going to the trouble JSR!

Can I ask what ink you DID use in this experiment, and did you find it any good? I am hoping to do some low volume sublimation printing (to produce items to help raise money for animal charities and rescues) using an A3 Brother printer (MFC-J651ODW) and would like to start off with some cheap but decent dye inks.

I am trying to learn how this sublimation business all works, so please excuse my lack of knowledge when I ask, how do I implement a colour correction profile on my Brother MFC-J651ODW printer, and how do I get one to begin with?

Also, if anyone has any advice on which sublimation is cheap but decent for me to start off with, that would also be very much appreciated.

Apologies if I have not used this forum correctly (I hope I have!), I have never used a forum before so am a learner at that too!
