Hello ! I have a printer Epson L805 and a Freesub ST-420 heat press, and I want to print phone-cases. I tryied with sublimation paper but the result was under my expectations ( color was faded and the margins of the phone case was still white ). Now I want to try with film, but I have some questions :

1. The printer Epson L805 is capable to print on film ?
2. What knd of film should I use ? ( gold, silver, white or transparent ? )
3. Also I want to buy a Freesub 3 mini St-1520 machine, because the St-420 it's a3 size, do you recommend this machine ?
EDIT: 4. I read some info about ICC profile, sincerly don't undersant too much :| Could someone recommend some settings ?


Thank you,
Nick.

PS : Glad to be in this community. I'm new here !

Hello and welcome

1. No idea but I don't see why it wouldn't work
2. I recommend transparent film (especially Sunfly's film)
3. You better buy an Epson 1500W if you want to do A3 rather than buy a 1520 for A5 printings.
4. Settings come with the ICC profile from the seller, for exampl Sawgrass does provide ICC profile and settings for their ink.
