New Improved Self-weeding transfer paper from China!
Well I tried some, and yes it does work better on t-shirts than the "0LD" formula that was circulating a few months ago. BUT... I wasn't putting it on thsirts! a product that did not work well for cotton tshirts worked great for nylon flags! I started making them and they were selling great but now they went and changed the formula and my business is down until I find something else... well back to square one!
I think I am going to try image clip but that means buying a new printer Has anybody here tried imageclip on sprort nylon?
Does anybody happen to have some of the self-weeding paper from the batch circulating a few months ago they would like to sell or maybe trade for the "new" formula that works better on tshirts? Even a few sheets would get me by until I can figure out a new process...

I use Imageclip on cotton and cotton blend. I suggested to some user using 100% polyetser shirt to press the transfer as normally done but do not peel the transfer, let it cool down so that the polymer will set and adhere then press it again for 3 seconds then hot peel immediately. The result is positive.
I notice your sample flag has a bit of gradient. Imageclip does not work very well with gradient and light pastel color design.

Thanks to all the great info on here I went to a local screen printer who makes plastisol transfers and he gave me a sample to try on the nylon. What a relief, it worked great! Actually I think I will like them better than the self weeding paper.
Still waiting for my order of imageclip to try. I emailed Neenah paper the maker of imageclip and they were only happy to help, one of their techs called me and was really helpful and full of tips even though they have never tried it on flag nylon.
Thanks to all the forum members who share their wealth of info!

Ok got the paper today and it works this time! I did have some problems at first but was able to get working. I did sud dye ink and pigment ink only in black. Can you tell me what is what? Here are the pics and no have not wash them yet. and yes I would use this" NO POLYMER BOX" and I will see what hapens after washing before I would sell shirts using this.

Don't go by the instruction it wont work if you do it that way. And I would tell every one to get Tee-Pad from Tee Square It and see if he can do 8"x11" you will need this or make your on pad.

Re: New Improved Self-weeding transfer paper from China!
I'm glad it worked for you! You will have to fill us in on how to do it and make it really work. I only tried a couple of times and had just ok results on tshirts but then I am not a tshirt expert, only play around with them from time to time.
Re: New Improved Self-weeding transfer paper from China!
Ok after you had such good luck I thought, Why not just try one more time
and well Like you said the tsirts work way better, this was just my first try on 50/50 using a tee pad but by following all of the other directions included with the paper. I'm sure with a little tweeking it would turn out really good and with factory pigment durabrite ink too not the sublimation that is suggested!
Well the sad news was the flags turned out the same... the new formula looses all of its self weeding qualities on nylon, but as you can see the ink sticks very well!
Even though the plastisol turned out to work good on stock designs I sure hope the imageclip will work for the custom designs that most people seem to want! Boy the mail can be slow when you are impatiently waiting!
