Just wanted to add to this thread. Jet Stream very kindly sent me a sample pack of A4 paper to test. I've run it through my Ricoh printers and made comparisons with my usual TruPix paper.

The paper appears slightly thinner than TruPix and is very easy to handle. I ran a number of prints, mainly photographic. I can honestly say that I can find very little difference between the two papers in terms of output quality. If I had to say one had the edge over the other I'd go in favour of the Jet Stream as it appeared to release slightly more ink than the Trupix.

I've been a big advocate of TruPix papers for some time now and was always perfectly happy to pay the extra over other 'economy' papers. The Jet Stream paper is significantly cheaper so I for one will certainly be making the switch. I haven't tested it on wider format yet, maybe another member will get there first but I'll certainly be having a go if roll pricing is as positive as the A4/A3 sheets.

Jimmy has mentioned a possible discount for Premium Members which will make this a no brainer in my opinion.

Justin,

Thanks for that feedback.

I appreciate you taking the time to give others your eval.

Yes, we are looking at how we can offer some discount via resellers for the Premium Members on the forum, so I'll keep you posted on that.

BR,

Jimmy also sent us a sample pack on their F-35 A4 paper.
We tested it in our Epson B110 Epson 1500 and Epson 7610 printers and were more than happy with the results.
We did find the paper slightly thinner compared to the Trupix paper we were previously using.

We found the ink release in the F-35 much better and the overall quality of the HD prints far superior to other papers that we tested.
We tested the paper on a various selection of items from ceramics to clothing and glass

All in all, i would recommend switching to the Jetstream F-35 paper, we are hoping that the paper comes out in roll format or A3+ to make the switch complete

Adam,

Thanks for initially reaching out to my offer of sample paper.

I'm very happy to read your comments, and I'll keep you posted on all JSD paper developments.

Best regards,
Jimmy

All,

I just wanted to post a video link that we were provided with today. This was created by our UK distributor Dye Sublimation Supplies.

Hopefully this will help anyone who is interested in how F-35 compares in quality to existing mainstream papers.

As we've previously offered, we are happy to provide some sheets for testing to anyone who would like to trial.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and support.

Interesting, though not really a fair test to print using your paper with a generic ICC profile made for Sawgrass papers - showing a side by side comparison using bespoke profiling for each paper type would really show the true potential of each paper, especially if done on a pro level printer of more than four colours.
In saying that, it's good that your paper performed well against the overpriced Sawgrass offering.

Pisquee,

You're absolutely right. The issue that is sometimes created by having something profiled so heavily towards a specific product, is that it can make all other products look poor when you trial something new.

I think the reason for it being shown this way is that the vast majority of users want a plug and play option without having to do anything. The more experienced you become, the more your eyes are opened to a world of possibilities outside what has been considered the norm/the best.

Hi Dean, thanks for the feedback.

We'll more than likely back print the sheets in the future once we establish the brand.

I'll also talk to our distributors about the forum premium discount to find out their thoughts.

Best regards,
Jimmy
