Sublicotton on Epson 325

Ps
Ordered more Sublitocotton from BMS, being delivered today !!

Looking for a good supply of T's etc now, I have been getting mine from a shop locally that deals in bankrupt stock etc, and they are good when the have them in, downside is the "fruit of the loom" label is cut out, so does detract a bit !

All about costs, always try to make my money when I buy my goods, not when I sell them

Quick update on the Subli cotton as not been on for a few weeks.

Had several more goes at this, recently done a couple of hoodies with a logo and phone across the back, excellent results !!
Also yesterday I printed a T'shirt across the chest with the logo for a canal cruiser I recently purchased, wanted to try out a full colour image - might have lifted a little early as parts of the "outside" edge look a little aged, but still very impressed on a grey T'shirt.

Did a trial print - jpeg image e-mailed at 11, and I simply imported into Corel (x7) and printed, I use a large hole shaker to cover image with the powder, heat pressed for 45 seconds, and dropped the t'shirt off at 11:45 - potential customer just as impressed as I am !

I like this product and would recommend it to anyone, will never replace my usual dye sub work, or be as cheap as my screen prints - but for good quality, short runs - this is brill !! (note: no problem using for longer runs, but you cannot prepare a stack of images ready to press, its a print, coat, press job, one at a time, but the quality and instant turn around could be reflected in your pricing)

Any one else using this ?
Please let me know how you are finding it, or if you have come across any problems, plus any hints or tips would, as always be welcome !

Bit long winded, so apologies

cheers guys

Hi
I use this stuff now, and its great! Decca591, have you noticed any small peeling in the corner of the graphics? looks like small skin peeling. I re-pressed for another 4 seconds and its gone.
Also the whole image looks more colourful and vibrant.

Hi Tony

Not noticed any peeling at all, but will look out for it ![

Are you saying that a quick re-press is making the colours more vibrant ?

Glad to see youre using this, even if it does reduce my market ;-)Q

Hi Decca
Because I noticed a tiny skin peeling effect in one or couple of corners, I just put it back in the press for 3-4 seconds.
Also have you noticed, when you press the graphic, it looks a bit flat/matt finish? Try the re-press for 3-4 seconds. Looks more vibrant!
Test it out on a scrap piece of T-Shirt and you will see.
Let me know what you think?

Just a quick note - I'm using an Epson SX235W Stylus, I have 2 sets of extra large refillable cartridges so I don't have the usual CISS setup, but these work brilliantly !!

Hi! What paper settings did you have? I have tried everything from plain paper, Epson glossy to envelope - and every time it just feeds the Sublicotton paper straight through the printer without printing... Just so you have my full setup: Photoshop, SX235W printer and Sublicotton paper. Many thanks

haha! Brilliant!

still - if anyone can help me get the SX235W settings sorted so it stops spitting out my Sublicotton paper without printing on it, I’d be most grateful. #kapow
