when i barely stretch my t-shirt, or wear it for a couple of hours after it's been pressed, i am able to see the t-shirt lines. the transfer looks cracked. could it be the ink or paper.
i have an epson c86. and i use alpha green line light transfer paper.
Re: t-shirt lines - the inkjet printed transfer looks cracked
I'm not an expert with transfers like some here, hopefully some one will chime in...my experience is that all of the papers crack, I have yet to find one that doesn’t, now others will states different, but I have tried all the recommend brands, temp, time, ink, pressure, they all crack, now if you are doing some swap meet t-shirts, or some random prints for friends the paper is ok, if your selling retail, don’t even bother, I only use plastisol......sorry guys that’s MY experience, I'm sure others will be different...good luck!
Re: t-shirt lines - the inkjet printed transfer looks cracked
are you guys serious ?
what, you dont like the cracking ?
You know, if it dosen't crack its not an authentic digital transfer. lol ....just kiddin'
I'm also not an expert but I have used Xerox CLC and their transfer paper media, along with a NO-name brand opaque backing and these transfers do not crack. They are heavy and weigh down the shirt but feel smooth. For what it is, it works.

I use transfer paper from www.bestblanks.com I have used a bunch of others and this works the best for me - also very important is to stretch the transfer after you press it when it is still hot this will give it a soft feel and will help it from cracking later - I was having the same problem until someone on this board told me to do this - I give it a good pull when its hot and it seems to work great - what kind of ink are you using?

OK lets get our fact straight. I did say transjet II was cool to use.. But did I say cool or did I say my second choice over Iron All. Because Iron All does not crack. It stretches. The problem with iron all is availability. A lot of the distributors keep running out. So then if I do not have Iron All then it is defiantly Transjet II

Lou,
Should I stretch TransJet II the same what though you stretched the Iron All in your video? I currently have about 40 sheets so that is what I will be using and unsure if I need/should be stretching it after applying.
Thanks,
Mike
