Question for those who have Dye Sub w/ Laser and Inkjet
I just started dye subing with a Oki5200 and ATI toners. I outsource my Inkjet transfers that i need that are larger then what the Oki can supply me.
Is the difference in inkjet and laser suppose to be this great in color??? It is printed on the same type of shirt Jerzees 21m.
This is the exact same file printed with my Oki. The inkjet one was printed from a Epson 9600.

RedEye,
hi, couldn't see the pix-maybe there not posted anymore? anyway, i just got the same setup, but haven't been happy at all with my results. used the Hottee
first, but kept getting the grey around the image. then Al sent me some release
paper with this white liquid that I had to roll on with a hi density roller, -not working at all. better without the white stuff. but I'm still getting the grey around the image. also the colors are dull. reds are brick red, etc. any hints would be
appreciated. thanks.

I moved the pics...sorry about that. But I printed them on Jerzess 21m and I didn't get a grey box using the polyester transfer paper.
Looks very interesting! I am still in the market for which laser printer to buy, so I'm not at the point of experimenting yet.
I'm going to post another thread to see if anyone else has tried this technology yet, but I would appreciate hearing what you have experienced with ATI as of now.

I have the okidata 5200 laser and got the white toner. We have a sign, banner, digital printing and promo items store. Altho i have had the white toner for about 3 weeks, we have been so busy that i have not had the time to dedicate to even trying it out yet.. Now if those dang customers would give me a moments peace, i could play some ..rof

I have had the toner and paper for a few weeks not but I am still waiting on the drums. I can't wait to play with it my self. If your considering getting to the white toner and getting a printer for it be sure that your printer will work with it. As of right now, there are only a couple of printers that their providing carts and drums for. You can pick up a Oki 5200 at pcnation.com for about $215.00. It's not in their normal inventory but you can find it by searching their site for "okidata 5200" At that price I bought 3 of them. One for normal use, one for dye-sub, and one for the white toner.
I would not recommend getting just one and swapping out drums/carts all the time. Way to much of a PITA as well as risking damage to your drums. Get two printers if you want to do the white toner.
