We did 50 shirts with dye-sub with a pre-treatment. It took about 2-3 hours to fill the order, soup-to-nuts.
Hey binki.. not to go off topic.. but can i ask what kinda dyesub you are doing.. (as to the make).. You are the only other person ive heard of on this forum who does the pretreat.. (we do a pretreat on our dyesub also)..
lol.. also what part of so cal...we are in pasadena
Well, we had a rush order and we had planned on using the duracotton product so we ordered 50/50 shirts. As it turned out, the duracotton paper jammed in our printer so we used the duracotton paper as a pretreatment to the dyesub. We used an epson 1280 with sublijet IQ inks. It was a one color job with just lettering and if we had a vinyl printer or a little more lead time we would have done vinyl or ordered transfers.
As it turned out, we could get 3 prints per sheet so our cost to print was low. The time was taken up with the duracotton pretreat on one time/temperature and then the dyesub at another.
We only did the pre-treat because of the 50/50 on the shirt. If it had more poly content we would have just gone with straight dyesub.
aww ..okay.. I was just curious if you were doing the same as us.. I use an okidata.. and a new product called soft coat.. which i spray on with a hvlp sprayer.. I always do 50/50 shirts as im not a big fan of 100 poly. ..
Hi, Can you tell me more about this pre treatment you use for dye- sub, I like the 50-50 better than poly, you know the usual, whats the name ,were do you get it, aplications that work best etc. this sounds really interesting.
