YUCK WEAR

Ok folks I would like to thank all of your for posting here I have learned alot thus far!

MY QUESTIONS ARE THIS:

1) If I am using a C88+ I am limited on size of images, however if I use 2 pages for 1 image and I aligne the second image's edge perfect with my first is that feesable?(Is it a common technique?)

2) What happens if I heat press an image onto a shirt and than take it off the press let cool and then press again? What happens if I heat press 1 image and than heat press another over it? Like over lapping it...

3) Has anyone tried what ArTainium UV+ inks are claiming... Using Sublimation Ink With Heat Transfer Paper When Imprinting Cotton and Cotton Blend T-shirts thant if you use their process and Double Greenline papers you can sub onto 100% cotton? Hows the Feel? Durability?

4) Running a sublimation printing business(smaller 2xC88+) what kinds of profits could I expect(GENERALLY SPEAKING) I am interested in your guys' results/profits.(obviously you make decent profits seeing your still in business but I was just wondering about figures)

Again I thank all of you for your knowledge.... Its helped me greatly... I am just trying to start off with what I can now and slowly upgrade to bigger and better... but I thought I would inquire about the "piecing images together/over laying" seeing I have a smaller printer and I love larger designs.

I can respond to a couple of your questions.

I haven't tried overlapping a design, but I often will eliminate extra space in a design to print it on one page. For example, if I have a graphic with separate text spaced 2" above, I will print it spaced 1/4" above instead. Then I cut the graphic and text apart and space them at 2" on the shirt before pressing. It sounds like more work than it really is. I usually cut the next transfer while the first one is pressing. The process goes is really quick.

Yes, I have done this one before. It's not actually dye subbing onto 100% cotton. It is just printing and pressing heat transfers using your dye sub inks. It works fine but it's an expensive way to do heat transfers. It is much more cost effective to use pigment inks for heat transfers and save your expensive dye sub inks for dye subbing.
