hi
i know this has been talked about alot and ive read most of the posts on here.
if you are after transfering a photo or something onto a cotton tshirt which is either light or dark what is the best method if you want it to last? im not talking about a promo throw away tshirt.
first there is the magic touch. this seems quite expensive and the transfer paper TTC3.1 for light and OBM5.6 for dark work out at just over £2 per a4 sheet which seems a bit steep. The WOW7.1 work out at just over £3 per sheet! what is the actual quality of this system on tshirts? is it worth the extra and how do the transfers hold up to washing and tumble drying?
transfer paper. there is a lot of different quality and priced transfer paper on the market. if we look at something like the xpress transfer paper as being a good quality one, do these still only really last a few washes? ive seen some people post that they have tshirt transfers lasting 2 years but are these just being washed a special way, printed with certain inks, or just good quality transfers? is there any way of actually getting a good quality long lasting tshirt transfer?
printable flex. i think this is only for dark garments but im not sure. if used with the durabrite epson inks how good is this transfer and how long does it last after washing and can it go in the tumble dryer?
thanks
