chromablast is the way to go for 100% cotton tees etc
Yes one option, but the Magic Touch TTC is also useful for cotton if you have a laser printer.

Great, thanks :D

A laser printer is more affordable than a chromablast setup :D

Kaz,

I'm in a dilema about what to use as you don't seem to get pastel tees for kids for sublimination. More googling :? and discovered if I bought the kids cotton pastel tees I could use the chromablast inks! They are rather expensive, but I'm glad you've asked the question cos I was wondering why nobody suggested getting round the problem using the cotton and chromblast ink is it because of the cost of the ink or do they not give a good print?

Martin I didn't know about this paper either, how effective is using the paper with a laser? What kind of finish does it give in comparison to sublimination?

Ohh questions questions think I'm confusing myself further!!

I'm torn between chromablast, and laser printing, using the WOW paper from the magic touch.

Whichever way, it's going to be another expense for me, as I'm only set up for sublimation. I do have an inkjet printer aswell from HP for doing photo's and general printing on.

Been looking at the OKI printer that Martin has, but haven't got £500 + for the printer, and then £100+ for the paper right now :(

NO i don`t have one yet but i will be getting one, soon

i think it`s a good gamble, i understand it takes all sort of thickness of media like the spec. says there will be no jams
