So I heard that you could use plain paper rather than sublimation paper but I didn't believe it. We just tested it ourselves and this is trupix paper on the left and cheap xerox paper on the right. Exactly the same result! Before I switch over, can anyone think of a good reason to carry on using expensive sublimation paper?
EDIT - we've since tried this with a few more designs and after looking at a few results the plain paper doesn't seem to transfer quite as well. As you were :)
