Hi all,

We are looking to purchase a A3 colour laser for transfers and wondered if anyone can advise of a model?

We don't need white just CMYK, i'm presuming OKI but there seems to be a few different models available.
None of the usual sublimation sites seem to sell A3 non white machines so not sure which is the model to go for.

Any advice?

I think you'll be struggling and if you find one it will be very expensive. Speak to companies like Xpres, TMT for advise. Have you found A3 transfer paper?

Hi Justin,

Everyone seems to do the A3 paper as there are the A3 White OKI machines available, just no one seems to do A3 colour-only, only the A4 OKI C612.

We are looking to do 100%cotton cushions and maybe tote bags.

Can anyone tell me what the wear is like on laser transfers on things such as cushions? I know the prints don't last too long on garments being washed all the time, but wondered how they would last on a cushion that's being rubbed against rather than washed.
