So how do you print black text on pale fabric with an Oki White and T.One? I'm basically looking for a weed free, non residue way of printing black text onto cotton.

Using Space Control.

The black is made up of CMY. I think its a pretty decent black, but do not expect it to be as black as a purchased black vinyl Nothing will ever beet that.

Print out from a PNG takes about 20-30 seconds
You can press straight away 140 degrees for 5-10 seconds
Wait 5 seconds then peel
Repress with T.one seal sheet (£4.00 ish and will do 200+ presses), for another 10 seconds.
Pul seal sheet away and item is done.

unless you are using the white in your 711w - it is better to have a regular CMYK printer for regular jobs, will work out much cheaper in the long run.
you can then just put 100% K down instead of 100% of all three CMY so get a better black and use 1/3 the amount of toner

Does T.One work with regular OKI printers?

I thought it needed a small amount of white to adhere to the substrate. As I have a white I have never tried so would be interested to know.

Oh ... yes, the t.one if you want white print, but if printing on white cotton and want weed free, i THINK you can use it through a regular laser .... BUT do check ....

I'm getting interested in the OKI system myself so have been doing a bit of searching and I saw this video https://youtu.be/zDkwb4slL4s, am I correct in thinking that this would solve the OP question? I've not checked the price yet, so that might be an issue.

5 colour laser are coming very soon, and 6 and more!
For great white you really need more than 1 white,
and a black for good blacks, AND a transparant for other applications, - still a way off thou
