Larry B.

Hello, I'm a new member. My name is Larry. I am retired and interested in learing about the T-shirt sublimation printing process as a way of making extra income. I know a little about the silk screen process, and have done some of that. I can't seem to find much information on the internet other than supplies for the sublimation process. I would like to avoid some of the pit-falls concerning the right equip. I need,and what I don't need. My main question is about input into the printer. If I use a digital camera, how many pixels are nec? What printer is the best for most types of sublimation printing to get the best resolution? Are there any books on sub. printing out there? I live in L.A. county in California, and could go to a seminar if one is local. Any advise, counsel or info would be appreciated. Thank you; Larry B.

I've moved this thread to the "Dye Sublimation" forum

There are a few good tips in the following thread about Dye Sublimation:
Does dye sublimation *have* to be on the polyester style tees?

Here's another good post by Fred (our resident dye sub expert) regarding some of the basics of dye sublimation:

There are some how-to videos here:
