With all due respect to you UKPM, there are plenty of users in the market place that have successfully switched and saved money in the process. It's a little short sighted to suggest the quality isn't very good.

Happy to speak directly on this, should you require any assistance. More and more dealers seem to be bundling Print Equipment's SubliSplash inks with F-35, so we'll just be looking at a tweak to your setup.

What software are you printing from?
Is the profile set up correctly in the software?
Have you set your printer driver to allow the software to manage colour?
What press are you using and what are your times and temps?
With most sublimation papers you can tell the printing side by simply licking a finger and placing it on the corner of the paper. It will stick most to the coated, printing side.
I've only just seen your response Webtrekker, couldn't have written it better myself.

1-How to Identify the correct side printing of the paper?
Thanks!
S2DZ
you can (usually) tell which side is the printable side by taking a sheet of paper and gently roll/fold it longways so that you have the paper doubled over but so they don't quite line up - ie you can clearly see both sides of the paper at the same time. One side should appear to be a bright white and the other a duller off white. The bright white is the coated and printable side.

Are there new batches of Jetstream in now? I actually liked the paper and found the transfer very good. Feeding issues in the end from a later batch became more of a problem when trying to send large batches.

Hi,
thank you. I did more tests using different settings, and i found a setting that gave me the best result:
1-In the printer
- Printing quality: High Quality
- Printing Prioity: Quality
- Color Profile: Off
- Gray Reprodution: CMY+K
- Printing Density On paper: Bright
- Type Of Paper: Normal(Plain paper) for ink jet
2-In Corel Draw
- Color Conversion: Corel Draw
- Output Color: RGB
- Correct color using profile: Sublisplash Profile
- Preserve RGB numbers: Off
- Preserve Pure Black: Off
- Renderization: Perceptive
I recommend to the Jet Stream F-35 Paper manufacture to find a way that easily identify the printable side of the paper (should print something in the back).

Hi Andrew,
Yes - I can drop you a pack over from a new production when you require some to retest.

Thanks for the follow up - will take that on board for sure.
The main balancing act is the cost it adds to the production to back print versus keeping the price as economical as possible for end users. We found users who continued to purchase the paper eventually became comfortable with the printing side over time.
