Reveal S Sublimation Paper.... eeek

[beebaakid]

hi, maybe so, bit late now

the trouble is, the sample my friend did me with Sublicotton stood up really well, no turning inside out just banged it in, I cant be selling tees worrying they are not gonna stand up to the first wash, sublicotton is a right faff which is why I was hoping Reveal S was going to be good

Hi MarK, Below is the powder that Adam has used.

Just one question are you washing the T-Shirt on its own?

Hi, received sample t shirt, thank you, washed with ALMAT sachets inside out etc, https://www.aldi.co.uk/colour-liquid...64265170096102, ALDI specials (they say they are good housekeeping approved), anyway must be washing powder because the sample has washed terrible again, I would say a loss of maybe 30% (see pics), I want to use Reveal S, but my results are not good, any ideas, cheers Mark.

hi, no the t shirt was in with other stuff, guess it must be the washing powder, bit disappointing, as I'm a real world test the t shirt hasn't passed, if the powder was crazy strong I'd be walking around with faded clothing but i'ts only this t shirt that has faded, was hoping it would be something else, but if the t shirts are washing ok in the sainsburys stuff it must be the powder, oh well thank you for your help, don't think I can risk it, can't have t shirts coming back, again thank you.

Hi mark, Its not an issue we are finding with others using the system but we appreciate your feedback and we will look into it with the developers in the USA

I have taken interest in this 'alternative' sub on cotton system, - and want it to work so did some side by side comparisons with TTC laser transfere paper from the magic Touch.

I attach before & after (magic touch TTC top & Reveal S bottom)
The Reveal S definitely faded more after 2 washes, - and more still after 5.
Washed at 30c with lidl non bio powder in household mixed wash.

Still an interesting system thou, - especially if the new papers can deliver ......

just to clarify since pic is on its side
Poittiers is Magic touch laser TTC3.1
New York is reviel S

Top half as seen is unwashed, bottom half after just 2 washes

The lion was damaged, hence using for test, so don't judge the line through the legs

Hi, I'm testing various processes on full cotton tees. dye sublimation supplies sent me a sample tee which my wife washed 40 degrees (which is the left tee on the pic), which absolutely destroyed the print, that is after 2 washes, the other tee my friend did with sublicotton with the polymer same 2 washes and that has stood up really well, has anyone had experience with reveal s paper, I really wanted to use this paper but this seems a bit of a deal breaker, cheers Mark.

Hi we are trying Reveal S and experiencing exactly the same issue with fading on 1st wash. Really frustrating as the system has huge potential if the fading can be solved. Got a couple of test prints to do tomorrow but been at it for 2 weeks with no test passing the 1st wash test unfortunately

sound like a deal breaker to me, hope they get to the bottom of it, I was going to spend the 2.5K on the whole system glad I did some testing, doing mugs at the moment to ease myself into sublimation.

Sorry I am new here and maybe missing something but I understand that this is a cotton T Shirt and I was under the impression you could only print on 100% polyester. Were the T Shirts treated in some way.
