First thing I learned is that I"m terrible at cutting rolls. The attached shirts were made using thermoflex vinyl for the OES letters and the main graphic was of course done with the Roland Opaque. The paper printed the graphics very well..no bleeding or anything of the sort. I used GX 24 with 60 Degree blade with a force of 150-160 to contour cut the image. I used a transfer mask which I already had..but I would recommend using the magic mask, as my non recommended product did take off some of the color of the graphic. Being the rebel that I am......I pressed at around 350 degrees for 30 seconds. The ending result was a very shiny graphic. I stretched it and repressed for an additional 5 seconds which took some of the shine off. It seemed to have welded to the garment like most other opaques and did not readily peel off and came back together when stretched. The hand, in my opinion is just as soft as my beloved Paropy paper. Personally I can't wait to try the new 3G paper, and am crossing my fingers that it will be better than Roland's opaque and Paropy opaque. Finally..I would chose Paropy over Roland's opaque..and that's my final answer!
I've heard about the Roland PCM Opaque paper. I've a Epson CX5000 printer(use pigment inks). Can I print it with my Epson CX5000?
I believe the CX5000 is a standard format printer (8.5"x11")
You can get the Roland opaque paper in 11"x17" sheets or 24" rolls,
so if you have a cutter, you would have to cut it down. I think Beacon Graphics will cut a roll for you for and additional charge.
Beacon graphics sells it under stock # PCM-HTM-11X17
It's not listed on their web page. When I spoke to them they seemed very helpful and also offered to cut custom size sheets. I didn't ask them how much extra for that.
