Dilema for Dark Garments ................

[Kaz]

Can I ask, when doing pillows, do you print on the zip side or the other side?

I print on the other side, but from the image that Paul posted, it looks like the white panel is on the zip side and now I'm confused?

[Paul]

Well, it's the right idea, but I was thinking of darker colours. After all, we can print certain designs to light colours already.

yep but colors arent right are they? without white background as they mix and give you diferent shades

Where did you find that cushion cover, Paul?

I traced them in Poland and thinking about getting couple for try. but down side is the price. just little bit over £2

found other colors too.

Yes, that's very true. I'm just thinking that it's the dark colours (like black) that are currently impossible to even begin to offer.

Well, that's not a dealbreaker price (white cushion covers from BMS are £2.10 including VAT). The array of colours is intriguing and may even allow us to price at a slight premium to the regular white ones. I'm not sure those buttons would survive the heat press, though! :biggrin:

Do they do tees and other garments, or just cushion covers?

They do tees and stuff but dont know what price etc... let me have a look and i see whats interesting there

ps. just find out the courier price if I want to order some stuff £23 for 30kg. not bad I think

edit:

tees just over £3 so not to good. 180g 100% poli.

I use dark Jet paper from dorotape and print with epson pigment inks, the images last well, weekly washes - keep them out of the tumble dryer - but most customers are happy with that. i must say that they have lasted as well as some transfers i had printed a while ago - and felt better on the garments, i always stretch the image after the press, while still warm, this makes them much softer. i use them for high colour t's that people use for advertising etc - so want a few washes ware out of them, but they are not planning on keeping them for years. I have also done some for my husbands motorbike business, and he wears them week in week out - we are into year 2 now with no real problems

Have any of your previously printed t's been through the spin cycle Laura?

I only ask as I have just read on the Dorotape site regarding the paper and it said to avoid the spin cycle?????

Again, £3 isn't a dealbreaker - it's in the same ballpark as the price for white tees from BMS. Are these coloured tees with white printable patches, or just regular tees?

This could be a route to go down if none of our regular supplies wants to investigate this option.

[Paul]

unfortunatly regular ones will look bit more in to it now.

my husbands hoodies get washed in with everything else, the only thing i do is turn them inside out - as i tell all my customers to with all t shirts / hoodies we sell even vinyl ones, the hoodie (which we pressed the paper over the top of a failed vinyl design) is now just starting to crack, but thats on the back of a hoodie thats been washed just about every week, worn on a motorbike in all weather - just never tumble dryed. i think one of the problems could be a high spin speed, then sitting in the machine for a few hours before getting emptied out. ask them to send you some sample sheets - and give it a try
