I'm using inkjet at the moment simply because I don;t have a colour laser and can't get a definitive answer on the best one to use. Supposedly the print quality and durability are better through a pigment inkjet printer but obviously you can't use self weed.
End product was fine and I'm sure customers (hen nights etc.) would be more than happy, but for me it's too heavy/papery on the shirt and I want something lighter and less obvious.

A good colour laser is the OKIC501
Works well with TMT products and is recommended for Target as well.
Also, print cost will be cheaper as they are on a laser compared to an ink jet.
Cost about £150. I have a C301 which is the nuts but target papers do not work in it.

Can't find a 501 Simon, do you mean the 510? Or is this the updated model maybe?

If you want some sample prints done on a 301 with TMT TTC then send over some images and I will post them out to you.
Please note that printer is not calibrated or profiled in anyway shape or form, but never had any complaints about colour etc.

Thanks Simon. I see the 511 is the same price as it has £50 cashback.

Cheers for that, not really got anything right now but I have a couple of jobs coming up, hence all the testing
Reckon I'll give one of these printers a shot.....

Target does not list the 511 but it would be worth giving them a call as their list could be out of date.

Probably stick with the 510 then if it's tried and tested

I would if I were you. however if you are not interested in target transfers then go for the 301 and save yourself £50.00
