Yolo v TMT v xpress v etc

No, I'm just carrying out my own wash tests.

[Justin]

Printed a couple more using Digi Trans and Image Clip, both results were excellent, slightly more intricate detail on the divi trans paper than the 2 part image clip, maybe I can improve this. All transfers have been washed 3/4 times now. Digi Trans is degrading quite badly at this stage, lighter background colours are very bad....this is a shame< i'd hoped it would last a little longer than 3 washes Image Clip is holding up so maybe this is where the difference will become apparent.

Samples received from TMT, first test not good, paper stuck around fuser unit....will post more from the office tomorrow.

Hi justin.
I found tmt ttc to be excellent on whites. Been making lots of dinosaur vests and tshirts for my boy and have been waahing them quite regularly. At the moment it looks like some of the transfers will out last the vests. Main problem I had was I do need to buy a new press as you do need a good quality one for most of the ttc papers.

Using adkins swing so pressure not a problem....getting the paper through the printer is the only problem at the mo! Lol

Hi Justin

Best way I found to test papers is to start at the lightest paper setting and gradually move up the scale until you get something that a) prints the entire page and b) actually exits the printer as one single sheet.

On my 301 I use Ultra heavy 1 (121-176 GSM) but obviously it may be different on the 511

How are you getting on with your printer now Justin ??

[Justin]

Not done much more tbh. TMT paper isn't working for me but they've emailed with advice. I think I'm doing it as per these instructions already though so may not be compatible

Still waiting to receive samples from Xpres I'm afraid so can't comment on those just yet.

really disappointed with the wash tests on the Yolo DigiTrans but will be looking at that again.

I have the C511 sitting here now and also and waiting on samples from a few places now, Serigraf and Xpres etc.

My press unfortunately won't work with the wow papers as I was going to give that a go even without the white.. press apparently won't hold the low temperatures for long enough so gave serigraf a quick message yesterday on their No Cut products and heard back fairly quickly on prices and they are sending samples so I can test and do wash tests.

What did you think to the Image Clip now you've done a wash test on it ?

When you say TMT isn't working, what do mean exactly justin? Is it not taking on the paper in the printer?
im having a good think about a oki white printer so may sell my oki c610 but to be honest I've used it about 20 times so it's like new..
