Sublimation T-Shirts

[accdave]

I have one of the old Xpres childrens ones.. and one of the new ones and there is a big difference..

The new ones are a lot thinner feel..

Yep, the new ones much better than the old ones.

They are 128gm. To be honest not looked at them properly yet, they arrived this morning. Got mine from Ralawise. All Gildan stockists will have them but be very careful about selling them yet. There is a shortage already because of the take-up, the Gildan people pre-warned me of that at P&P. Ralawise only have Large and XL in white.

BTC have no ladies white stock showing.. and only Large in mens.. hmmmmm

This is bound to happen with Gildan for a couple of reasons.

Firstly its a completely new product for Gildan and they have never been into the Sublimation industry before, they probably under estimate the numbers to be cautious as did the resellers like BTC and Ralawise. They are also the number one tee shirt seller in America so when something new comes out everyone over there go's mad for it.

A similar thing happened when they released a bucket load of standard cotton garments in new colours. Take up initially was huge and you could not get your hands on any of the new colours for about 6 months before it all settled down.

I am sure it will return to normal... hopefully...!

I am particularly interested in the fact that it is available in other colours. If the garment is a nice garment then it would be great to see other colours for sublimating even if you are restricted on the number of colours you can print on the garment.

I have held off doing t shirts as there are so many around and so many conflicting reports on them all. I will be keeping a close eye on further reports as I really need to get started on doing some, especially with summer coming.

Ok I need to quote for a job so need to know which suppliers are likely to have tee's when I come to order! I've been using Vapor from Transfer Press and these seem ok but I've been wondering if the newer ones were better. Sounds like stock may be an issue so maybe best to stick with Vapor for now?

If you need a range of sizes then Vapor or Xpres are the best bet for now.
