    I'm just trying to transfer a white logo ...not land a man on the moon! HELP

    Hello and help :-) ! And apologies as this is not a dye sub issue.


    Just wondering what you knowledgable folks would do if you needed to:







    BACKGROUND:


    I am opening an online Ceramic Store where customers can customize things like Christmas Ornaments, novelty salt and pepper shakers etc….


    The issue is that a lot of customers want to be able to print white on a colored product.


    I came across the Oki white printer but I am having a difficult time understanding the process.


    Everything I have read states that you need heat and pressure with the Oki and its heat transfer paper.


    Unfortunatley they do not make a heat press in the shapes I need.


    Does anyone have any advice on if what I am trying to accomplish is even possible?


    Would a Heating Blanket, Vaccum Printer, or Cactus Wrap help me? When I call places that sell this equipment they say they are just for sublimation.

    Would the following work?

    Step 1 - Print Logo using Oki and heat transfer paper
    Step 2 - Put Logo onto t-shirt shaped ceramic salt shaker with heat tape
    Step 3 - Wrap a Cactus Wrap around item to get the pressure needed (or use a vacuum 3d printer)
    Step 4 - Bake in a kiln or oven



    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am really stuck!

    unless you can make a custom clamp I don't think you will make progress with cpm and white laser printers!
    WHITE is a very difficult colour to print, because the white pigments are quite weak, so you ideally need multiple layers of them to get solid.
    moon might be easier!

    I have another idea. Why not make a stencil of the "A" from sticky backed vinyl and then use a solvent paint and paint the design on?
    I have never done this myself but I have customers who do this on their bicycle frames and it works.

    Sorry, just seen this post is from April. Youve probably solved it by now.
