Which Heat Transfer Vinyl

[chet]

Thanks for the above info, very helpful.
My MagicTouch 123 has just arrived, I've only ordered White 500mm x 1m to have a play around with, now comes the real stupid question...

How do I print on a roll?

[chet]

I guess this was one stupid question too much

HTV isn't for printing on.
There are some vinyls ('papers') that are suitable inkjet or sublimation printing, with varying degrees of success. To print onto vinyl you need a solvent printer ( start at about £5k) and use speciaist printable vinyl, such as TMT Printex.

How do I print on a roll?

TMT sell a material called Soldark which is printable using an Solvent printer such as Roland or Mimaki.

If you are wanting to print using a sublimation printer then you need SUBLI PRINT. I have never used the stuff and know nothing about it, but You Tube will

Oops, I guess that's my first mistake out the way, I best get myself some sublimation paper then.

Thanks.

Before you do anything list what kit you have below and I can advise you on what you need to do to get a print on to whatever it is you are printing to.

I have an ET14000 printer, Freesub ST-4050 press, MDP Mug Press Touch Screen and a Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro.
I also have INK EXPERTS 115GSM MUG SIZE (99 X 210MM) ‘VERSA’ ALL-PURPOSE DYE SUBLIMATION PAPER for printing to mugs.

I'm looking to start printing on t-shirts, mugs and maybe windscreen/decals
With the print and cut I think that I'm getting confused with Printable heat transfers for light and dark fabrics, I wrongly assumed it was vinyl, I guess I just need to source this now.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Thank-you

OK, I think you are running before you can walk

I have just answered your profile question and my advice is get one thing working at a time. So, get the profile (as suggested), get some fabric, make sure you have a teflon sheet to protect your platen. Ideally one top and one bottom and start printing and testing on the cheap fabric, play around with colours etc and look at your results.

Once you are comfortable with printing on plain white fabric you can push on with other items such as mugs and window decals

Standard with me, thanks for taking time out to reply to both questions. I full appreciate it.

Thank-you
