Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hi, gang.. well I just found out New Milford is sending me some samples of the new iron All for darks. looking forward to trying it and of course this will require a video. And remember I do an honest assessment of the product. Even though I am getting the Roland cutter from them as a prize I never ever let that stop me from giving you guys the facts. Several others here have order samples as well and I expect they also will give their assessment of the new product. can't wait to try it. This could change a lot of thing in the way we do dark products and may help increase business. Lou

I have also ordered some samples...had a long discussion with John, the owner and from that conversation, I am hoping to learn some more.. will keep you posted on my results - good, bad, or indifferent
looking foward to this, my IronAll turned up yesterday from New Milford, I pressed my first Tee last night and was amazed ! I followed the tips on Lous IronAll youtube vid instead of thier guide which was to press for 30 seconds ? I feel 30 secs would have totally nuked the t-shirt so I stuck with 350 at 16 secs....anyway Im gonna be posting here lots now and Im closley watching this thread as getting into dark cotton printing is the next step for me, thanks for all the good info people !!
Does the transfer have the flakes like the light ones do?
I don't think it is the same type of paper. They call it iron All for darks because it does wjhat iron all does anf that is stretch and I believe the product does not crack. That is about all that compares to the iron all for lights. But when I see it and test it I will let you know as well as others here.

Lou !!!! can you provide some comments on the DuraCotton(lights) versus the New IronALL(light)...
...and yes I see you are going to do an evaluation of the IronAll for darks... I can't wait. Am I correct in assuming this is full color so we may use it for photos and multicolored art. My stuff is not conducive to color separation thus screen imprints are not possible.
Throw in a few words as to the difference in 'washability' as compared to the CLC/CLP transfers... I see claims that no or little loss of color result if the correct toners are used because the ink is married to the fiber versus inkjet simply 'painting' the fiber. ...but I also hear that when photos are in question the inkjet gives better results as to detail and resolution.
I am about to make my intial purchase... and DARKs are a + for me! ...and I need to know if I go laser of inkjet or both and which printers to stay away from.
Thank you immensely.

1/2 the time I am not sure if I am comparing apples to oranges.
I interpret Lou's comment that "...could change a lot of thing in the way we do dark products ..." as: the new IronAll for Darks to be the long awaited answer to print full color on dark garments as white ink ready printers do with the DTG method... am I correct? anyone?

I can't compare to laser as I do not do laser prints. I got my paper and quickly unwrapped it and took a good look at the paper. The first thing is.. there is no flacking. This is a different type of paper. the next thing I did was to make a small tare and pull the backing off a little. then I pulled the vinyl and it S T R E T C H E D>>>> and then went back to shape. That was great. Now on Friday i will do a full color print and then do a wash test. can't wait..
