What happens when you print a small block of CMYK and then 100% red? I have some cheap Chinese paper here and the print ios very grainy, not good at all.

i just done a test print with that stuff off ebay that someone recommended the poly sail cloth lol

i had my heat press at 180c
i think that might of been a tad too hot rofl
never seen material shrivel like that before lol

but i will say the image had come out beautiful so clear apart from
its really dull
i have checked to make sure i'm using the right side of the paper

but its weird cos i done a t the other week and thought the design was kinda dull but just thought it was the image

i'm using my press at 180c for 40-50 secs

just turned it down to 160c cos is wrecked the poly material lol

the instructions that came with it say fabric 150-170c so its hotter than they say

i'm using the tru stuff off BMS though now

Try uising the settings the same as for T-shirts as this should work.

[smitch6]

i've only done 1 t lol
so not sure really what settings to use lol
i gather its ok that this stuff wrinkles lol

[Ian M]

When I used it it never wrinkled on me & I used just the same settings as I would for T-shirts.

Are you covering the material with something like a teflon sheet or anything else?

[smitch6]

yes i used a sheet of greaseproof over it
that stopped the main part but all around the edges wrinkled lol

[Ian M]

The edges will Steve but it's only just to play on isn't it. I always cut a piece a lot bigger than I need because of this.

[smitch6]

okkkkkkkkkk
so whats a good temp to do T's on then?
my instructions say 150-180 for 20-40 secs
i done the 1st one on 180 for 40 secs and it was still dull

i have a combo press

I know it's been asked on several threads but I still think you need to ask Intelli-ink exactly what sublimation ink you have.

Out of curiosity it would be interesting to see what happens when you wash the materail you printed.
