Hi Dave. Great printer. Papers to use are the Wow7.8 for coloured shirts and the new T.one paper for white T´s.
You just need to learn how to do it. Pay attencion to TMT when they come and train you. Temps, times and pressure.
You will, as with everything, make mistakes but once mastered you get good results.
And dont forget, you can print mugs, boards and many other things with some of their other papers. Ask them as I have forgotten the names of these.

Good luck.

As what Earl says.
The printer performs best when the room is not freezing cold..... ours is great 3 seasons, but we really struggle to get consistant results in winter in our unheated workspace.
You will make mistakes, and it will seem difficult at first to wow, - and then it will click and you will breeze along.
The wow paper likes to be pressed onto part 2 as quick as possible after coming out of the printer.
DO NOT pre press garments, - if they are over dry the white doesn't always stick perfect (we sometimes mist with water first)
have fun!

After seeing what I saw on Nathan's desk on Friday then this will be one hell of an investment.

I wish I could say more but I can't as he was pretty gutted that I clocked it :-)

Logo, I have the same problem with heat, but I have found that upping the temperature when creating the transfer worked wonders. I have done some wash tests as there is the claim that the higher the temp the less durability but I haven't noticed it. Interesting point about misting, I may well give that a try
