I have been advised by TMT that my issue is going to be my press.. as allegedly it won't hold a low temperature for long enough.. so the WOW papers atleast for me are out the window..

If you receive your Xpres sample and it's not printed, do let me know lol.

I have just emailed Merlin Transfers regarding their Trim Free for lights for a sample.. so that will be an interesting one after Target Transfers can't guarantee their Exact Print won't mess up the printer.

If the 301 will work ok then that may well be a better (and cheaper) option. I'm not sure what benefit the 511 is....will have a look at the specs again, must be a good reason why I bought it!

Merlin Transfers are going to send me a sample of their Trim Free Lights paper.. but so far haven't had anything I can test

Still waiting on Serigraf samples - not holding out much hope there at the moment though

Nope :smile:, I said that the 301 does not work with Target Transfers papers and in particular their Exact Print. The 510 is listed as a supported printer for that paper

That comes as no surprise mate, they are absolutely useless. To such a point now that even if I have a quote for something only they sell I decline to quote rather than deal with them.

That's the one.. I knew there was one in there that you mentioned didn't work lol

The 510 is listed as supported but I have been advised by them that the Exact Print hasn't been tested with the 511 and it's a test at own risk :/

I've heard this from several places now. I've tried hard to work with them recently but they really do seem impossible to deal with.
