Default Roland Opaque

Since I've recently ran out of my current favorite opaque Paropy, I think I will try the Roland Opaque PCM-HTM. Older posts have stated that it feels like thermoflex plus and it's the softest opaque out there. I'm hoping Luis & Mrs. Bacon will see this and add remarks, as I believe they are familiar with this product?

I like it. Its is by far the softest hand I have tried including IronAll for dark. After 5 washes it has not shown any sign of fading and cracking. I have to be honest the swatches that are going through wash test are washed in cold water simply because that is my wife's method and I am not about to change her way. She runs the dryer through in hot settings.

One more question..does it really feel like thermoflex once applied?

I assume I can cut the roll down and use it in my old epson 1280 with pigment inks?

I cut 8.5X11 for my CX5000. So you should not have any problem with your printer.

Found the Roland Opaque at Beacon Graphics
Apparel Transfer Inkjet Media for inkjet printers from Beacon Graphics, LLC
My question is it only available in rolls?
or is it available under a different name in sheets.

It is sold in 11X17 sheets also. There is a pdf catalog that lists it. You have to ask Beacon Graphics.

....just received a sample roll in the mail.
(Roland Opaque PCM-HTM)

I have only used Roland's Solutions Opaque printed w/ eco-solvent ink.... never tried this pcm-htm stuff.

I will let you know how it goes.
(may be a little while, been busy)
