Hi all i have test result using the NEW Self cutting Paper/Self weeding paper using Pigment and Sublimation. First i used sublimation and the result is very good easy to peel and you will got perfect result. Using Pigment is also have a good result you can compare to ordinary heat transfer paper except no cutting. I attach picture ( dark grey sblimation, light ash pigment ) and soon i will post the video. I buy the paper in ebay.

Looks good mate!

What printer & press are you using?

Does the sublimation transfer have a hand to it? In other words, can you feel the transfer on the shirt? Is the shirt cotton or polyester. I ask because traditionally, there is a major difference between sublimation paper (which is a release paper that has no polymer on it) and a transfer paper (that is covered with a polymer). Maybe there is something new out there.

I would be curious to see how the wash test hold up. Please post pictures of the wash test as well.

The shirt is 100% cotton, theres no hand feel to it, it's like the design printed on actual shirt. Pigment ink also same only diffrent is the sublimation is more vibrant but its better than heat transfer paper. You can try to buy sample in ebay to see the good result. But in the instruction it's said good for graphics or cartoon i didn't not try it yet in photo design.

Not used self weeding paper myself yet, your pics show it as being much clearer and deeper colour than the sublimation which is interesting.

Have you wash tested yet? Can it apply to dark garments?

if you used sublimation on a 100% cotton shirt......i wouldn't recommend washing it - ever.....

I think that was the point of using transfer paper. Sublimation on poly shirts, no self weeding transfer paper is needed.

this paper is diffrent it has rough surface like the one in imageclip surface. and only the ink portion is transfer to shirt. you must try it. i have used so many paper but this one i recommed. iahve lazer printer using imageclip, techniprint 4.0 and duracotton. in inkjet i love ironall,jetpro and blue grid. when i got sublimation i used it on making tie and mug and now by using this self weeding paper i can print a very professional look and peel made shirt. Pigmane also can be used in this paper see the picture in light ash thats pigment heat transfer ink.

Does it work in just a regular ink jet printer or are special inks required. What pigment ink are you using?
