Hey,

What sublimation paper would you consider to be the best ?

I am currently using one I purchased off eBay at £6 for 50 sheets. Seems quite absorbant and it likes to curl. :mad::smile:

I am using an Epson S21 printer, 4 colour CISS and InkTech Sublimation inks with CorelDraw software.

Cheers
Jon

Ditch the ebay stuff and get Xpres (from Xpres or BMS) £9.50 for 100 sheets.

Paul : I wanted to see what members would recommend with my setup, ink, printer etc.

Cheers for the recommendations. I have heard TruePix HD is a good one.

There is no that much to do with printer or inks. Is true you can get better skin tones with 6 ink set up but this is it realy. i would say is all about papeR and how much ink it can relase.

I use Texprint for t-shirts and Trupix for everything else because I find Texprint gives a better image on T's
