Hi all
I'm trying to move away from sublimation printing and move into garment printing...
I've been ordering heat transfer paper samples from suppliers left, right and centre this weekend! My plan is to cut up some t-shirts and print the same image onto each paper onto a different piece of shirt (my brainwave - also add some text to the image showing which paper it's from - genuis!! lol!!).
Whilst I've been thinking about this, it occured to me that there are already lots of people on this forum that have been down the same route and that they know "what works best".
So with this in mind, could I ask for just a moment of your time?
Which transfer papers do you prefer for inkjet and for laser printers?
Which papers do you prefer for light garments and dark garments?
What are the finished results like for each combination of the above? I'm talking about the feel of the finished image and the washability of the garment.
Many thanks in advance...
Barry
