ok. so now was it 100% polyester? or poly cotton?? if so how many percent?

[sandid]

it was 100% polyester.
I'm using a Brother printer DCP167C with Sublimation ink "ink tank" with Trupix paper.

My wife does a lot of artwork onto polyester (satin and suede) and presses at 220C for 2 minutes, but uses sublimation paint (disperse dye) that she mixes herself from powders, which are much thicker and more vibrant than the computer inks. Also doesn't bother with transfer papers, just uses what ever thick bulk paper she can get her hands on for a good price.
