Default Various size of tshirt printing with 1280 and C88+
If you have a printer that does not print 11x14 to 13x???, how do you improvise or do you care?

If you use the 8x11 transfers with a 4x tshirt, are you left with a lot of the tshirt?

I know I have asked a screenprinter to make sure when the larger tshirts are printed, the artwork is enlarged.

I dont like seeing a 8x11 size picture on a 4x tshirt.

What is everyone doing to make this work?

I am tossing the 1280 against the C88+

I think it depends a bit on the image. If you put the paper landscape style, that would be 11" across on a 4XL tee, which seems like it would be OK.

I've seen text 10" across on a 3XL tee and it looked fine to me. Depends on what you prefer I guess.

I've got a 1280 and on a 3xl or larger it does make a difference going 1-3 inches bigger across.

Unfortunately my 1280 just had a meltdown.

A tabloid paper will do a print shoulder-to-shoulder on the back of a shirt. We do a few of those but the 8.5X11 will cover most of your prints without problem.

We have both printers, 88+ and 1280

Binki,

What inks are you using for your 1280?
