- Our inkjet heat transfer papers can be printed with sublimation inks but the process isn't technically sublimation as you are still printing a transfer
- You'll generally get best washability with pigment inks as they have more water resistance
- We use an Epson printer in the office which has Durabrite pigment inks and we are very happy with the results
- Transfer papers for light coloured fabrics have a clear film background and those for darks have a white film background (so really need to be trimmed or contour cut)
- For darks, we usually recommend the 3G Jet-Opaque paper for it's softness and slight stretch
Hello Lucy a very informative bit of info there thank you for that.Quote:

hot peel then 10sec with teflon sheet - job done - looks great :wink:....i think this is looking really intresting...
on whites it looks fine but -
on dark colours, would you not see the residue left from the edges ?, even tho you trim away ?
Jet-Pro Sofstretch is designed for light coloured fabric only as the the colour of the fabric will shine through the transfer to a certain extent. The papers for darks have an opaque white film background to hide the colour of the fabric. As a result, you really need to trim around the image before pressing - contour cutting will give you the most professional results.Quote:

Wash-ability etc.. does it fade considerably after a few washes.. is it something that if you use sub inks.. it's more of a couple of uses ideas i.e hen t's etc ??
Given that the description states -Quote:

I've asked for some samples to try with my pigment ink and, if there's enough samples, I'll also try with my dye-sub ink.
Is this generous offer only open to Premium members?
The offer is open to all DSF members but will be closing at midnight on Monday 20th August 2012.Quote:

just bought another lot of "paid samples" from them :wink:
need to see what the darks are like and try out more testing on the lights.
plus.....
getting the hang of contour cutting on my cameo now - which will help lots to get rid of the white backing surround.
free samples are very good.
Received mine today, too. I'll be trying them out with my new pigment inks as soon as I've got this other job done.
Well I dug my old epson 6 colour printer out and printed on one of these sheets, then hand cut around it and pressed as directed. The results looked fine. Even as the shirt stretched it looked good. Have put it out to wash to see what the outcome is.
My only concern is the 30 degree wash. I must admit to being fairly lazy with sorting washing out and have two piles, one coloured (get washed at 40 deg) and one whites (get washed at 60 deg).
I would therefore prefer to be able to wash at at least 40 deg myself.
I noted the wash temp too.. everything in this house goes in together at 40 degrees unless it's bedding or towels..
Basically 30 deg is a cold wash.. wonder how many will actually stick to that even when told lol
Jet-Pro Sofstretch should be fine if washed at 40 degrees especially if printed with pigment inks. We recommend 30 degrees simply to maximise the life of the transfer.Quote:
