Default Thermal temperature papers

Anyone know where I can purchase these to check the temp of my heat press? I just purchased a used 9x12 Hobby Lite. I tried using an Infrared Heat Temp gun, but that will not work for checking the temperature.

A guy here named Mark/DAGuide may know. Helpful guy, I've heard him recommend something like this for checking the press temp. He said the IR guns are not effective, and this other product is better. Good luck to you. Kelly

Hi Jamie,

If you are looking at inkjet heat transfers, you'll need a printer with pigment ink (epsons are good) a nice transfer paper like jetprosofstretch (tshirtsupplies.com) and 100 cotton or 5050 cottonpoly blend Preshrunk shirts. I also like having a teflon sheet.

Here's a link for you. This thread talks about different print methods and how to choose. Theres a write up on pros and cons of inkjet. here you go:
What is the Quality of Different T-Shirt Printing Methods? A list in general order.

here's another post on how to press an inkjet heat transfer, step by step, in case there's a question there, this may help:

Hopefully this info helps you out. Best regards.
