Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
When I was at the show with Great Garment Graphics, Mel said it was key not to put too much ink on the paper when printing. How do I change this setting and what is it called. Is this dpi or something?
When you send the doc to print, click on the properties tab or button to access these options before you print. This is also where you will set the printer to mirror the image.
You can also reach this setting by going to your control panel, right clicking on Printers, right clicking on the printer, and choosing Preferences.
With my HP printers for example, I choose Normal print. This should render 300dpi. Best would render 600dpi.
Because for some reason my settings are stuck on 600dpi for Normal printing (don't ask me how this happened because even HP can't figure it out), I have changed the ink flow in my printer settings to overcome this. This is also found in the printer settings.
I hope I made sense here...if I've confused the issue, let me know, and I'll try to clear it up.
I'm using ironall for dark. I'm not overly impressed at the moment, but it could be that I got hold of that "bad" batch people think is going around. I ordered in March. I have Jetprosoftstretch, but just have not had the time to work up something to transfer, and I just got my white t's this week.
Well, I can't really help you out with regard to the inkjet transfer papers for darks...I never use them...don't like them...and I'm under the impression that you really need a pigment ink for darks.
