Press

[Mugshots]

Hi all,

Ive just purchased a flat press. Watching YouTube videos and they show different types at papers being used to protect the images etc. what are these called?

Is it like a grease proof paper?

You can buy packs of silicone paper in A4 and A3. You buy that from Yolo and other sublimation suppliers. You can also use Kraft paper. You can buy that in rolls on eBay.
I have read somewhere that you should not use standard grease proof paper. But I cannot remember the reason why.
Buthers paper is popular in the US but I have not found anywhere to buy it in the UK.

Thanks very much. Will look at those.
Next question, What sort of paper is required for T shirts, Christmas sacks etc

Anyone help with this please? also im after a silicone sheet. Where do you get yours?

[welsh phil]

I use baking sheets. They come on a pre cut roll from any good supermarket. 16 sheets of 37x42cms for £1. I used 2 sheets for 50 T-Shirts.

Thanks very much Phil. Normal sublimation paper also?

[welsh phil]

Ive always used normal sublimation paper then cover with a baking sheet. Never had a problem.
