    Talking Dye sublimation on dark garments?

    Hi,


    i want to print on dark polyester sport tops.
    So far i have tried flock paper but the feel of the paper seems to heavy and with a blurred look.

    do anyone have any better sugestions to what may be better?

    thanks

    You have given your thread the title of "Dye sublimation on dark garments?"
    You cannot sublimate onto dark garments, only white or pastel colours (even the pastels will colour shift your artwork) so what exactly are you trying to do?

    Please tell us what printer, what ink and what software etc. you are using.

    I am sure you will get some help then.

    Hi,

    Ive saw that there is various methods of getting around to printing on to dark garments.

    I have tested a few out (like flock) but im looking for a higher quality thinner product.
    I use a epson printer, inktec inks , I dont use any particular software for printing just print via photoshop.

    With your setup you're not going to get any better results than the ones you've already had. You'll need to upgrade your equipment to a laser printer with white toner, or check out the Reveal system. DTG is an option of course, but very expensive and recommended only for high-end daily production.
