Correction. Mine says Sublitocotton on the back of the paper?
Hi Mugshots
I use my old Epson and it is working fine, almost fool proof, and I am following the guidelines as recommended - print, Coat, Press 45 secs,
Prepress garment for 5 secs, get it absolutely right, and place the printout in one movement, you cant move it, at all - the ink remains wet and will smudge if you move it - cover with Teflon sheet, and press , allow it to cool and just peel off, I have had excellent results from day one with this - would like it cheaper but hey ho !
I wanted to be able to print on cotton, and this pretty much does the job - I am using pretty much cheapo inks - again I wanted to try it out, and will deffo move up to see if I can get crisper images, but to be honest, these are good to go !
will post some images later, let me know how you go on - you could try posting BMS, also on this thread.
Just a quick thought, you are printing, coating, pressing - you cannot allow the ink to dry, not tried it but I'm wondering if that's your problem as BMS warned me about it - you must press asap !!

I did press straight away. I take it your using photoshop? Any settings I should try?
Hi
No- Corel Draw (x7) no special settings, just import / create my images or text and print out to my Epson 235, powder coat and press - sometimes it doesn't need to overly complicated !!!
Try BMS, sounds like you need the experts.
maybe your dye sub inks ??

Ive got it working great. Unsure what happened 1st time. Just a slight problem of some small specks on the image that wasnt on the paper.

Just used that logo as a test
Glad you got it sorted !
I bought a canal cruiser recently and printed the logo on to a T, really simple and brilliant results !!
Good luck !

Canal cruiser?
Cruiser, as opposed to a Narrow boat !!
the missus is trying to coax me into retirement, bought this a few weeks ago, gutted the inside and just putting it back together ;-)
She see's it as me relaxing, I see it as an ideal advertisement for my vehicle lettering and T'shirts !!!
