This was my first time using JetPro SoftStretch. I got it from Coastal in a sample pack. I've been wanting to try it, but haven't had any full color jobs lately.

I trimmed the excess, leaving about 1/8" of white area around the design. The hand is superb and I can't even notice the white area that I left around the design. This stuff is GREAT!

I just ordered a 100 pack from tshirtsupplies. That should keep me stocked up for awhile.

I like it too !! If you have a vinyl cutter you can cut the contour of the image with almost not white area around.

pshawny · July 11th, 2008

I have a US Cutter Laserpoint, but I could never figure out the contour cutting. A cutter with automatic registration is in my future.

How "thick" is the paper? Can I just cut the top layer, and peel off the part I don't want, like with regular vinyl?

pshawny · July 11th, 2008

It's about as thick as photo paper. The vinyl cutter would cut all the way through. The backing gets peeled away right after heat pressing.

Thanks, dude... I'll order some, and give it a try... I'm not looking to weed out the interiors, but trimming outlines would be tres kewl...

Hi I also use the Jetpro and love it but my printer (epson stylus cx 5000 with pigment ink)doesn't give me the bright reds and black blacks.Do you mind sharing what printer and inks you use.Thanks

Brinda.. I know you asked another member this question but I have a new video up and I did a red car and used a standard epson c88+ printer and did not adjust the colors. I also printed in text/photo mode,

Hi Lou,
thank you for the response.What type of media setting do you choose when printing maybe that will make a difference.I'm leaving mine on plain white.

I used an Epson C88+, Epson pigment ink, plain paper setting, & photo quality. I also have an Epson R200 that I really like.

I got my JPSS from tshirtsupplies today. Are there different kinds of JPSS? The paper I got from Coastal had Jet Pro Soft Stretch printed all over the back of the paper & the paper from tshirtsupplies just has a black line across the back. It doesn't feel the same either. The Coastal paper kinda had a texture to it, where the tshirtsupplies paper is very smooth. Is there a mix-up here or is it just me?

I spent the last 2 days at the Coastal booth doing demo's. I recommended to a lot of people that they try the the JPSS and all samples had blue grid and JPSS on the back.. This could be a "Buyer beware signal" I brought up the fact there seems to be price difference on the 2 companes as well. Coastal would like to know why as well. Maybe this is the reason.. mmmmm VERY INTERESTING..

I just received mine and it has blue grid lines with Jet Pro softstretch printed on it as well.Maybe they sent the wrong one by mistake I would give them a call.Hope this helps. Thanks.

I just got a sample on friday and it had the blue lines too. They seem like super people at tshirtsupplie too. I spoke to the guy for a long time and he answered all my questions. ...... JB
