TTC paper is for laser printers so an Epson printer won't be suitable. What was wrong with the Oki?

Durabrite ink is used for printable flex but this isn't the same as TTC. TTC goes onto light coloured garments where as durabrite inks on printable flex is usually used for dark coloured garments (similar to OBM).

I was thinking that today Martin doh my fault silly mistake !!!!
The problem with the oki is that after i print with the ttc there is bad marking on the next 10 to 20 sheets on both sides, I set the printer to heavy stock, used the manual feed tray and printed face up ...I dont know what else to try...I dont mind cleaning the press but I could nt afford to spend my day cleaning a press after every sheet !!!
Dont know what else to try ..........

Have you contacted TMT to find out if the Oki printer you use is suitable? There are arrows on the back of TTC so did you put it in the printer the right way round? Do you have TTC A4R or TTC A4? The R makes a difference to the way the material should be fed into your printer. The A4R stuff gies in with the narrow edge first (like normal A4 paper). TTC A4 gies into the printer long edge first and us often used in A3 printers.

You need the correct TTC for your printer. Which do you have?

Yeah mate contacted Magic Touch they said it was compatable with the oki 9650,so i bought TTC 3.1 A4 ,I put it in long ways with the arrows going in the right direction also If im correct gloss side up, maybe i should have got A4r and tried it short edge to see if it would make a difference but too costly to find out. Its the marking thats the problem I print wedding stationary so I u can see my problem.
Is there a cheap printer I could buy that would use TTC ?

What are the markings? Is this a worn drum unit in your printer? The Oki printer that's recommended for A4 is the Oki 610 now
