i've gotten some stuff from Printa out of Seattle, Washington, but they're certainly not the cheapest.

Hi jorden i see your from the uk m8 as i am.
I`m a totaly newbie also to all this and this week is my first go at trying it all.
I dont want to get in trouble or such for advertising and so on, but i get my ink for my subli ink epson for D88 from a well knowen company from manchester way and cost me 62 and free P&P which to me is steap but thats english prices for you.
Papper wise i also found a real good supplyer in the same people, they sell the 120 gsm 100 packs for like a few pounds, and i also bought some 230 gsm x 50 for testing for as little as 3.99.
Remember i`m totaly newbie lol but done some checking b4 i bought anything and the places i bough from send the items more or less the following day if ordered by 1pm.
I checked lots of places first and even traveled a distence to go to places like hobby craft and i could`nt beleave the stuff they had, no papper other than the cheap stuff and none was subli stuff.
If you want the info from the people i have used then i`ll be happy to give u them via mail or PM as i dont want to advertise on the forum.

Jim

I believe that there is a UK-based magazine called Images that might be a good resource for you to talk to. Here is the website - IMAGES - THE JOURNAL FOR TEXTILE SCREENPRINTING, EMBROIDERY AND GARMENT DECORATION. For whatever reason, the pictures don't show up on my browser.

I would contact them directly and see if they have a sourcing guide. In the U.S., the magazines produce a phone book for the suppliers / distributors in the industry. It is a handy item to hold on to for the year until the next one comes out. You can also look at Sawgrass' website (Sawgrass Technologies - Home) and see what distributors are listed in your area.

Hope this helps.

Mark

I gave up on sublimation printing because the cost of ink is out of hand & the products for printing are
also very expensive. I couldn't sell them, printed t-shirts in my area sell for $5.00, that's about what
the polyester shirts cost wholesale.
