Hi all
Just been trying out my new toy - oki printer and wow paper. I'm trying to print an image on a black t shirt but it's only partially printing and also printing white that I don't want - can anyone help as I'm wasting paper
Thanks Michele

Hi,
which Oki have you got?
wow 7.2 is a tricky process to master, but if you have a 711w then wow 7.5 is totally easy and produces simply awesome results.
TheMagicTouch technical department is great, talk to them, and watch their video on using the media.
That said, we struggled with 7.2
It is essential that you keep the M sheet in the humidity control bag, it really doesn't like getting damp!
Talk to TMT tec!

Hi,
we used to use wow 7.2 on a similar cmyk printer, and it is a complex process, we found that we consulted the instructions time and time again.
You need a great quality press that is VERY accurate in temperature, - they give calibration strips, and the peeling process first stage, and final COLD peel are all critical.
That is why we spent the 2k and got the 711w which makes the process easy as pie!
I have seen great results using the wow 7.2 - but gaining the experience to master it might be an expensive learning curve!
Good luck

Yes, I think this is going to be an expensive learning curve. The videos and instructions make it look so easy. I have a decent heat press but will use the temp strips again. Could the paper be too cold? Maybe I should've saved up for the 711w!
