Hi all,

i am new to all these and expect to find some orientation on your beautiful forum.
I am just an enthusiast (not professional) and just purchased this A4 press Flat T shirt Press 23x30cm Swing Away Digital Version
in order to make some t-shirts and especially make rock-slates with photos for gifts etc.
i would be pleased if you give me some directions because i am lost in technologies (iron on, sublimation, vinyl etc) what to use where and how!

thanks in advance for all your help

I have color Laser and inkjet for home/office use (can i use them or do i need special inks or.... new printers?)
for media i have purchased several laser print FOREVER & EezWeeD sheets for dark and light garments and some inkjet sublimation sheets from coralrgraph (still don't know how to use them, attemps on rock slate epic failed)

As a noob, i have mixed everything in my mind and need to sort them out.

Hello Frank welcome to the forum. I think my friend you need sit down with a few cups of coffee and read the threads on here for starters. I take it you dont have sub ink in your printer.....

Charlie, no sub ink, just mistook the label on the sheets cover "For every ink jet printer".... misleading? maybe.
For the laser transfer i guess i am ok.
For the sublimation process, it's something i need to learn more about. I will firstly take a look on the starters threads, as you suggest, and then make some direct questions on the appropriate forum topics.

Thanx!

Welcome to the forum :) You're going to need a sublimation printer if you want to print onto the slates. The current A4 supported Ricoh is the SG3110.
