Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Just confirmed today that JPSS Jetprosofstretch is available on rolls. They are being sold in the 13" x 100' and 17" x 100' sizes. There are no JPSS/Jetprosofstretch identification marks on the back of the paper.
I know alot of folks were waiting on this. You can find the rolls at Coastal Business.
As the product is now out on rolls, continue to look to other suppliers to carry it as well. Hopefully prices will balance out as more suppliers pick up the product. A nice idea would be to post back in this thread any additional suppliers of the rolls, as you find them.
Happy shopping, printing and no more waste for those of you who can use, and have been waiting for the rolls!! - Kelly

They are adding their phone number to the site, then it will be easier to contact them. For now, they only like the 8.5x11, but folks have gotten the 11x17 from them, so it's just a matter of making contact. I hope they add it to the site so it's a matter of clicking for the product. I wrote and let them know it's hard to contact them this way, and that sometimes the link to "contact" them was broken and didn't work. Hopefully soon they will resolve these issues. They have good pricing, but their site def needed work. I hope they contact you tomorrow, John. If they don't - I'll give you the email I have to someone there. I think I am waiting on an answer to the rolls from Sunday. Maybe it was a bad Monday over there, who knows. Have a good night.
Kelly, what kinda ink are you using with the stuff? I've got an Epson 9800, an Epson 1280, and an Epson 1280 that I used some some sub inks that I'm trying to clean...
The inks I am using are Durabright in both my C88+ and CX9400, and in the Canon Pixma, I use BCI-3eBK, BCI-6BK, and the rest of the colors are BCI-6 (Y,M, or C).
Has anyone tried the Epson chromablast inks with this material seems like the 17" roll would work good with one of the larger epson wide format printers.

Yes, this paper will fit through the wide formats that accepts rolls. For JPSS users who own the wide formats that take the rolls, this is a very good thing.
Chromoblast ink is so expensive. Since JPSS has superior color retention with very little polymer window, I don't think the benefit is there to use a costly ink like this with this paper. That's just my 2c. I can't see the sense in the extra cost.
But to try to answer the Q, JPSS has shown to be extremely colorfast with various inks including most dyes. Based on that, it would be seem extremely likely that the Chromoblast will work as well, especially because the Chromoblast is an ink formulated to work with heat transfers.
If no one has tried it before you, you could perform a test on it. Sample paper packs of JPSS are available for "1 penny" from tshirtsupplies.com, with very low shipping.
I meant ultra chrome but you can get ink for epson at Epson Ink Cartridges[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/dhamlett/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg[/IMG]

Hey Kelly...thanks for the response.
I sent another e-mail yesterday to Mike to let him know that I haven't gotten any response but still nothing. The problem is that I have a job coming up that requires this larger paper.
Do you happen to know of another site where the pricing is pretty good? I'm sure it won't be as good as theirs but then again the best price on something you can't get isn't very helpful. I know I can get it from Coastal or Imprintables but the pricing is a bit steep so I'd like to find another source if possible in the next day or so.

Its there another manufacturer or supplier of jetpro softstrech?
i thinks t-shirtsupplies.com have problem i want to buy more of that kind of paper its so good.
who created the jetpro?
What are companies selling jetpro transfer paper?
Where can i buy whole sale price
and deliver it here in the philippines?
The ONE THING that gets me twisted is "crafter" businesses... If I go with a process, it better be capable of a LOT of use, and supplies had better be available on a more or less JIT timetable. I don't want to have to buy 20 rolls of something to make sure I don't run out...
I'm guessing that -most- of us aren't doing this as hobbies. Maybe as small supplementary businesses, but NOT as "let's make the pretty shirt" hobbies.
So... How reliable are these different folks? How long have they been in business? If I buy a roll this month, and a roll next month, will they be the same material, or just labeled the same? Looking at things, it doesn't seem like there's that many type of ink, paper, etc... Every little company may have its own "brand" but I'm guessing they durn sure don't all have unique forumulations...
A great way to find all the suppliers of JPSS is to simply Google Jetprosofstretch, or JET-Pro sofstretch. (The technical name for Jetprosofstretch is JET-Pro with a circle R, and then SofStretch with a TM.)
At first, we were only aware of Coastal Business as a supplier, but later on, more and more suppliers started to carry it. When I googled Jetpro sofstretch to find out how many were now out there, many suppliers returned, including New Milford Photo, tshirtsupplies.com, and Alpha Supply. Two of these are forum sponsors. NMP runs sales, and if you sign up for the newletter, you will get an email of special sales codes. NMP also recently cut their normal pricing on JPSS.
I won't vouch for any supplier. While I've had favorable experiences, not everyone does. From reading on the forum, suppliers can have a bad day here and there. I go ahead say they are good, and you have a bad experience on their bad day, and you are looking to me. Sorry, not going there.
@John, I will email you the contact info I have. It looks to me like tshirtsupplies.com has realized the issues with ordering and contacting them. They are changing that. I wish they'd get the changes done so life can get moving along smoothly. I like to recommend them on price, once they finish re-vamping the site, hopefully their site will be good like their pricing. I'll check if I have a contact number for them. ROQ/Mydamit, has mentioned calling them. I wonder if he has a phone number.
One word of caution, The Paper Ranch as a paper they call JetPro, and that paper is not JET-Pro SofStretch. If you look to the Paper Ranch for supplies, be very careful not to end up with the wrong product.
For outside of the US, if nothing via Google returns, going directly to Neenah's website will lead to more information on Global Supplies. I've been there and they list their distributors.
JPSS Jetprosofstretch is avaiable on ROLLS :)
