From the Kisscut Site Paul:

Can I image to dark garments?
As you can see from the enclosed samples, the KissCut process allows you to apply images and graphics to white, coloured and dark coloured garments using the full range of imaging and embellishing techniques available with the KissCut process. What is NOT possible at present is to apply full colour images to dark coloured garments. However, you can trust us when we say this is not far away!

It works out cheaper than doing subli tees

but subli tee look fantastic
and you can use your inks for other stuff like mugs. plates and anything else.... kisscut paper for tees only so you need wait for orders first so for me its look more dear

I've already got an inkjet printer, so no additional outlay was required

If I could find my camera, I'd take some photo's and put them up to show you the difference, I'll find it, eventually

Ive often wondered about kisscut, encouraging to hear that you have had good results so far ive had a look before now and have to admit the cost element was an issue but what really puts me off is that kiss cut has been out for so long yet no one on this board with all the experiance thats here uses it regually. Is it a hidden gem ? or is there good reason for not using it ????

I've got a tshirt in the wash just now, will let you know how it holds up

I think you have a point about the paper costs maybe putting people off, but, as I said up there, it works out cheaper over all than doing a subli tshirt, as cotton tees are so much cheaper than subli ones.

Kaz,

What printer are you using and what setting? Just run a sheet through my D92 and it's started to bleed the black into the other colours, and the edge is now feathery (is that a word ). Admittedly they are generic inks and not Epson DuraBrite.

Last time I tried the paper I think I washed the garment to soon and the design all disappeared

Thanks
