Default Re: Epson Durabrite ink cartridges

Yes, the shirt I used with the IronAll was white - a 50/50 Jerzee shirt. On that image, it was set at 200dpi. I am then printing on plain paper setting and "fine". I am wondering if I need to lay more ink on the transfer to prevent the white from showing. I was wondering what resolution you set your images at. Your work always looks nice.

would you be able to share your printer settings with me, and then I could try those? I've noticed on my c88+, when I print in text or text&image under normal paper options, I get banding every 1/4 inch, so I always have printed using fine or photo. ???

I used the same resolution for the opaque image. Results were fabulous on the image. I'm just up front with my customers about the "feel" and have a sample to show them.

As for the "too much pressure?" I guess I don't know what too much or too little is. Had a hard time getting a feel with the jp12. I hope the mightpress will be easier.

I've been practicing with scrap shirts and the shirts I press that have "less" pressure don't fade as much. I'm wondering if I'm "pushing" the image into the shirt too much? Is that possible or maybe not laying enough ink.

I know that there are many variables, but any insight would be great.

thanks,

Kevin
