Where is the cheapest place to buy textprintxp. Many thanks

[Paul]

Martin have a good offer. http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/showthread.php?2885-TexPrint-R-Paper-A4-110-Sheets
i dont think you can find any cheaper then this.

[jennywren]

Thanks but he sold out. unless there is another paper that is suitable. I noticed that he's selling Xpres Economy Sublimation Paper has any body tried it allways nervous about changing

[John G]

Is there anything special about this paper - as in, is it meant for hard or soft substrates?.

[jennywren]

No idea but I have always been happy the way the colour comes out on the mugs, I use this paper of everything, just worried if I change it will show on repeat orders,

if you asking about texprint then yes :)
it is special. its great for fabrics and ceramic. is special coz its specialy coated and ink is not going inside the paper. it staying on the coating. so you give it 2 min to dry and then press. you will notice most of the picture is normaly gone off the paper to the fabric/ceramic. thats why is called HR (high relase)
also another benefit (huuuuge imo) is that is printed with logo on the "bad" side so you wont print on it you always print on printable side :rolleyes:

Jenny! I had some xpres paper to try and I must say is brilliant. it has good relase rate and is cheap :) I only test it on mugs tho..

[jennywren]

I might give it a try but would like some texprintxp in case it didn't give the depth of colour

[Paul]

xpres is good with colour. I printed only photograph but depth of colours was ok.

does it???? the textprint i have doesn't have any logo on it and i got it from BMS ?

[Paul]

Hmmm. Dont know what you have steve but i had my texprint from diferent sources in diferent sizes and always uad printed pink logos all over the page.

[JSR]

My packs of TexPrint always have logos over the back, too. However, when I bought 13" rolls of TexPrint from Revolution, there were no logos on the back. I prefer the logos because, unlike TruPix/Xpres there's no obvious printable side.

For fabric items, I use TexPrint - but I don't think it's necessary for hard items and ceramics. I'm not sure that hard items need a "high release" paper. For hard items, I stick with a low-release paper like TruPix or Xpres.

The Trupix I have just received from BMS has a definate colour difference.. one side is white and the other has a definate cream/fawn colour backing..

That's true of TruPix but not of TexPrint - hence the need for a logo or something on the back of TexPrint (not TruPix).

www.subli.co.uk do texprint papers which is helpful if you can combine the order with other stuff.

That will teach me not to read twice before replying lol

[jennywren]

I have order the TruPix of Martin, he gave me some good advice which I took but I also order ! packet of the express paper to see what it's like, I had to order mugs of Martin so it made sense to keep the cost down to order the TruPix with delivery charges as they are, it will save you all reading about it in a rant that I might have posted. But thank you everyone for your advice and help

[smitch6]

maybe it's trupix i have then rofl
cos mine has a white side and a slightly darker side :D

shows how much i know doesn't it lol
