Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Received new ironall today, Instructions says to press 375-400 medium pressure 25-30 sec. way to much heat for 6.1 oz cotton.
Used settings per badalou (the man)16 sec 350, looked ok using durabrite ultra inks text photo setting (dried good). Any higher res & you are wasting ink, plenty of density in dark colors. Lots of yellow in highlights not seen on file showed up on transfer.
Paper has blue cast on back, few flakes floating around on paper. Cut on rotary cutter had a few more flakes. Scissor cut not many flakes.
Doing a few wash tests, will report back on color & cracking.
Have tried many transfer papers this is the best so far, if it can make it thew the wash a few times I can sell to lower end costomers for $6.00 in quantity a have a profit.
I'm just spoiled with dyesub prints not cracking or fading. But I feel this is a good time to jump in & make some money with inkjet tranfers. It will only get better from this point on.
Sorry for rambling 2nd glass of riverboat red (MO Wine)

Nice info Larry. yeay throw the instructions away. What is funny is I had to do a name add on to previous shirts and I did them at 350 degrees and 10 seconds.. And the Iron All worked fine. Here is picture. The new name add on is at the bottom of the picture
I've been trying the new Iron all also. I actually ordered the Kitche Sink Sampler from NWP and I definitely prefer Iron-all over their other paper. I was wondering if for dark shirts yall use NMP's their dark shirt transfers or do you have better supplier. Badalou?
To add to my sampling of the Iron-All it definitely has very little "hand" and it stretches a lot better tha the other paper NMP offers. I did get some "yellowing" on certain parts of my images on both papers, but I guess (from what I've learned on here) tha can be adjusted under my printer settings.
I'm hosting a kids craft show later this month (they will be drawing stuff, than pressing it on shirts with my help, to be auctioned off) and I would like to try it out.

So you are saying we can do 350F at 10-16 seconds no problem? Sounds good to me. I was getting some scorching on 100% cotton with those settings.
Lou, When you did the second pressing, did you protect the original print with teflon or a sheet of paper?

You can buy it from newmilfordphoto.com and they'll ship it to you in Canada.
hey is it possible to buy this from somewhere else, because when i try to buy from their website, i get a "technical difficulties" error on the top of the screen at checkout (despite being able to still add and change details) and I have contacted them and no reply yet. Also I REALLY can't figure out what the shipping cost is going to be as i do not know what size and weight the package will be (i am only ordering a Iron-All sample first) and i have read the FAQ, and the shipping calculator that it directs me to does not clarify which shipping method is the cheapest...can someone help me out?
oh and i've tried ordering from their ebay account, and it is $40 for shipping... and that is just robbery...
Sorry to sound whingy, but can someone please help??

As far as I know, they are the only seller of this paper. It is supposedly manufactured in England, so there is a chance that the paper is out there somewhere else going under another name.
Where are you located? I order the iron all from the ebay store & it is only $7.15 to ship UPS ground to NY. $40 sounds like a really high rate for shipping.
yeh im here in australia, such an inconvenience here... it is sometimes cheaper to outsource screenprinting, because it ends up cheaper even with the shipping fees.
oh and about the $40 shipping, i found out it's just an error, its acutally $9, which is o...k i suppose, but deeefinitely better than 40$
