do you use the heat press or an iron

yes i think it gives a good finish. I use it on t shirts, rucksacks,cushion covers and shopping bags and yes i use a heat press

Trouble with all those cheap inkjet transfers, is that they start to break up after about three or four washes and you end up with a ruined garment and very irate customers. They are OK for things like reunion tees, birthday tees etc, that are typically only worn once, but NOT something for regular use. There are better quality papers out there, but they are a lot more expensive.

Yes thats right DREAMGLASS, but i do explain that to the customer at the time and then give them an option to go for a white dye sub t-shirt

i only use truepix paper from BMS little dearer but never had any problems

Trupix for me too after trying cheaper unbranded paper

[smitch6]

that trupix paper is for sub dying though isn't it?

not for the transfers for cotton t's

That's right.

For dark tees there are loads of papers out there for doing transfers. I use image clip koncert t papers, but they are very expensive to start out, you're looking at £150+ for 100 sheets, but, when you weigh the costs against cotton tees, it works out slightly cheaper than doing subli tees due to the costs of the subli tees.

But it's a pain to work with, we wasted a fair few sheets of paper when getting started with it.
