I am new to heat transfers and hoped someone with more experience could help me out. I realize there are alot of variables that effect the quality of the transfer but using a standard ink jet printer how long, or how many washes, should a transfer last using JPSS and opaque papers (assuming I transfered it correctly)? Is there a way to test if the transfer is good before it goes to the customer?
Usually I will be sticking to screen printing my images but just trying the transfers as an easier and less expensive method if I'm just doing 1 or 2 shirts.

Thanks,

Hello Everyone,

Im new on this site so sorry if this has been asked before or in the wrong section.

Im looking for a specific type of inkjet transfer paper.

I can only describe the backing paper to have orange Irons within a green circle, which are suppose to be a Thermonk, indicator type system.

Can someone please be kind enough to direct me to where I may be able to buy such paper from and in bulk.

Im from UK so hope they do International postage too. ]]> Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper TshirtLover_Noob http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t102343.html Roland Opaque Test Results http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t102251.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:44:57 GMT First thing I learned is that I"m terrible at cutting rolls. The attached shirts were made using thermoflex vinyl for the OES letters and the main graphic was of course done with the Roland Opaque. The paper printed the graphics very well..no bleeding or anything of the sort. I used GX 24 with 60 Degree blade with a force of 150-160 to contour cut the image. I used a transfer mask which I already had..but I would recommend using the magic mask, as my non recommended product did take off some of the color of the graphic. Being the rebel that I am......I pressed at around 350 degrees for 30 seconds. The ending result was a very shiny graphic. I stretched it and repressed for an additional 5 seconds which took some of the shine off. It seemed to have welded to the garment like most other opaques and did not readily peel off and came back together when stretched. The hand, in my opinion is just as soft as my beloved Paropy paper. Personally I can't wait to try the new 3G paper, and am crossing my fingers that it will be better than Roland's opaque and Paropy opaque. Finally..I would chose Paropy over Roland's opaque..and that's my final answer!

I have been pressing shirts for about a year now. I feel like my shirts are boring, mainly because i am only pressing on white t-shirts. Is it just me or am i getting the idea that pressing on white shirts is the easy way out? When i am done printing on the transfer paper, i don't need to be precise with my cutting because you can't really see the excessive paper that is left around the image.

I have never tried anything but white and want to start with darker color shirts. I understand that when pressing on dark shirts, the cuts must be precise because you WILL see the excessive paper that wasn't cut. Correct?

I have been hearing about a paper that self cuts so you don't have to do this?

I currently use:
Epson c120 w/ pigmented inks
JPSS for lights transfer paper
15 x 15 heat press.

Is there anyway, that with the equipment i have (minus the paper of course) that i can easily transfer images on dark shirts? ]]> Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper Loganb5 http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t102064.html Pressing rate per hour http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101641.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:29:33 GMT I've been pressing shirts for an upcoming craft fair and was curious what kind of pressing rates others are having. I stretch my shirts prior to a pressing cycle of JPSS on lights and Ironall on Darks. For the lights, I'm pre pressing for 15 seconds (Hawaii humidity), press the design at 375 for 20-25 seconds, hot peel, stretch, then press with parchment paper for 8 seconds. I'm also doing the same steps for a front logo.

For Darks, I prepress for 15 seconds, peel the design, press design at 375 for 6 seconds using parchment paper, hot peel, then press with teflon paper for 4 seconds. I'm also doing the same steps for a front logo.

I'm averaging 12-18 shirts per an hour. I didn't realize how physically laborious this pace can get. I've done about 300 pieces the last few days and plan to do another 200+.

Yeah, I know, large numbers should probably be left to silk screening but for the detail in my designs, it's hard to beat inkjet and heatpressing. Also, the local screeners charge so much for setup fees, doing 15 different designs would be very costly.

What's your pressing rate? ]]> Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper Takeo http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101641.html How to reduce or stop cracking http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101438.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:52:45 GMT Hey, I'm new to heat press and was wondering how to fix this problem. At the moment, I'm using an epson 1400 with dye ink. I'm printing on 13" x 19" JPSS and pressing them on white shirts. I pre-press the shirt for 8-10 sec and then press the design for 30 sec at 375 degrees. After the hot peel I stretch the shirt slightly while it's still hot. My problem is after a day, the shirt starts to crack. What approach should I take to reduce or slow this down. ]]> Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper landlprints http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101438.html Roland Opaque http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101424.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:33:40 GMT Since I've recently ran out of my current favorite opaque Paropy, I think I will try the Roland Opaque PCM-HTM. Older posts have stated that it feels like thermoflex plus and it's the softest opaque out there. I'm hoping Luis & Mrs. Bacon will see this and add remarks, as I believe they are familiar with this product? ]]> Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper tdprout http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101424.html Polymer window http://www.t-shirtforums.com/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper/t101382.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:52:47 GMT First post here peeps so be gentle. The polymer that is on the transfer paper, regardless of type, does what exactly ? Is it merely a transfer agent or does it seal the ink into the shirt? :confused: First post here peeps so be gentle.
