Alex.

I have not got a decent ink jet printer so I am about to order some of this paper to see how it works with my sublimation ink. Maybe Webtrekker could show us some finished pieces with sublimation ink.
Many thanks

I'd do that no problem but I'm looking after my 93 year old Dad at my sister's house this week while they have a long-awaited family holiday and I only have my mobile with me. I can assure you though that the test sublimation samples I did were indistinguishable from previous Canon dye inkjet prints I made of the same design on the same material (natural cotton tote bags).

I've used it on a cotton t-shirt tester and the print came out well, but not washed it yet. The Yolo blurb says it will withstand washing though, particularly using sublimation inks. I need to do some of my own experiments when I get home. I'm not really into garment printing though because of the stock I'd need to hold.

I guess one of the things about sub ink is that it changes colour when you heat it to (say) 185c for a minute.
When used on this inkjet media, does the heat pressing time modify the colours to accurate like when subbing properly?

All I can say is that it works fine for me logobear on cotton tote bags. I think the only way to be sure is to buy a few sheets and give it a go. It's pretty straightforward to use and, because the backing turns transparent when heated, you don't need an exact cut, even scissors will do in many cases.
