I've just set up my new A3 printer... Very happy with it.
I've have also pressed my first t shirt. I brought a t from The Transfer Press, pressed on a med/ heavy at 200 deg for 65 sec and this was my result



Can anyone recommend a t shirt that will give great results for sublimation? I would like to know what you guys use and what get the best results?

Many thanks

Dan

Looks Good Dan, which A3 did you buy?

I love the Vapor T-Shirts from TRansfer Press but they are quite dear. I also like the Subli which I bought from Xpres.
I bought a few of the Gildan Performance 42000 to try ou. They are thinner/lighter than the Vapor but a more affordable price.

I also would like like to hear others opinions on their favourite brands for sublimation.

Thanks Kath

I brought an epson WF-7110 £85!!!! Plus £30 cash back from epson if you brought before March 31

Bargain! What press d0 you use,presume it's a3 too

Just short of A3... It's an ebay press but for me as a hobbyist it works well.

Changed the ICC profile and got a better colour match this time

Dan, that was a great price for your printer and you have the two paper trays. I have a the Epson 7610 for regular printing and wished I got the model with two paper trays.

Just realized you posted a different photo. Yes I can see the difference, seems brighter, though I thought the first one looked good too.

I like the idea of two trays as I can load up with A3 and A4 and for get about it. The wifi connection is great to.. No more wired connections [emoji106]

Do you find the vapor t shirts good quality? The gildan sublimation t shirts I've used seem thin

I use the xpres subli+. I have some gash ones that I wear in the dojo, either under my Gi or for no Gi sessions. The battering they have taken has been remarkable....hence I use them. If a customer ever does complain (no one so far!) I can honestly say "What the @##@ did you do to it!".

Janners

Dan, I really like them, and my adult son does too, which I was pleased about as they normally always wear 100% cotton.
Plus they have them in a nice grey and a couple of choices in the ringer style.

I also like Xpres Subli+ that Janners mentions. Both these have a heavy weight to them compared to the Gildan.
