i will NOT need a profile for this ink on my printer
he said the colours will appear true to life and have been tried and tested
so thats handy

Can you get the brand name of the ink so we can all start saving money on specialist sublimation inks

. I think he's talking out of his backside to be honest !!

i've just had a look on their site but it doesn't actually say anything about it
i know lots of ppl use their paper
i have emailed them so hopefully by the time the ink arrives tomorrow lunchtime they will have replied, if no one can help

Still confused what ink they are supplying, they don't sell sublimation ink

I'll refrain from commenting on lovecut as I've not had any dealings with them, so can't comment on your paper, but, you could try printing a small image on either side and pressing it to a mug and see which one comes out most vibrant, and then keep that mug for when you are heating your mug press to the required temp

yes the reviews on love cut have been very varied
i ordered from them and then found the reviews :~
but so far things have been great they were helpful on the phone and everything arrived the next day even tho they said it would be 48hr
and they even gave me extra stuff in the box
so basically i can't fault them so far, hopefully it'll still be like that if i ever get a problem
the ink i got from intelli-ink, and once again they have been quick to reply to questions and helpful and were about £20 cheaper than any other quote i got from those that even bothered to reply.
the paper i noticed has 1 side that is slightly more glossy than the other side if that helps

Are you sure it's sublimation ink you're gtting from them? I can't find any on their website.
Having said that, I can't find very much on their webiste, lot's of dead links

I think you need to go to their e-bay shop, the normal website won't be updated until 2007 .
Put sublimation in to the search box of the shop. Interesting comment about Sawgrass inks part way down the blurb !!
