100% Cotton

[Kaz]

What's the best way to print on to 100% Cotton, or is it possible with sublimation?

Got a potential order for 100 long handled shopping bags, 50 now, and 50 in a couple of months.

Or if anyone can recommend another method I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks

One of the best transfer papers available at the moment is Jet Pro Soft Stretch (for lights). You can get it at Pencarrie, Spaark and Prestige Leisure.

Thanks Sharon

Do I need specialist ink, or will the standard ink/photo carts in my HP be sufficient?

If they are pigment inks you should be OK, have read of some people using the Epson Claria inks (dye based) and if to much ink laid down at time of print, the colours bleed in the wash. But who washes a shopping bag?

Thanks again Sharon

Not sure if they are pigment inks or not, will get OH to check that out when he get's home, that's his department

I just do the buying and the printing

Been having a google, and it seems that chromablast is the way to go for 100% cotton tees etc.

Not something I know anything about, so back to google, again
