Sorry I posted before in the wrong place.
I received a few samples of dark t-shirts printed with the Versacamm. The fading of the print is significant after five washes (at 30º inside out). Does anyone with a Roland Versacamm have information about washing resistance etc.?.thanks

are you serious?? I'm expecting some samples myself from this unit. . how was the color?? and what about stretching the shirt. did it crack or peel??

What media (vinyl) was used to print on? I've used both Colorprint II and now the Stahls Solutions material and have had zero fading over many, many washes.

Depends on the ink and printing material. I use eco-solmax inks and Forever transfers and have no significant fading problems.

It does depend greatly on the media being printed on. The Roland HTM media breaks down considerably more after intitial washing the the other brands mentioned.

Who did you get your sample from?

Things to understand first -

Versacamm Basic Functions:

Full Color for Fabric: The Versacamm Prints/Cuts Full Color Designs on heat transfer material that can be applied with a heat press to virtually any fabric - both light and dark colors as well.
Full Color for Other Items: The Versacamm Prints/Cuts Full Color Designs on a variety of pressure sensitive medias that allow application to a large variety of items (see below).
One/Two Color for Fabric: The Versacamm cuts just like a standard vinyl cutter for using with heat transfer vinyls that can be heat pressed to fabrics. (most commonly used for names, numbers and one or two color text based designs and logos)
Applique: The Versacamm cuts tackle twill material which can be sewn down to the garment with an embroidery machine. (this process is used for appliques and creating authentic numbering and lettering on jerseys - also used heavily in the collegiate market with frats and sororities)

What can you make with the Versacamm on the fabric side?

Applicable fabrics: Cotton, Poly, Cotton/Poly Blends, Nylon, Leather, Spandex, Silk, Twill, Canvas, Denim, Mesh Other performance fabrics
Items I can embellish with the 'right" print/cut material and the 'right' heat press: T-shirts, Hoodies/Fleece, Bags (all types), Performance Apparel, Umbrellas, portfolios, camping chairs, jackets, pants/jeans, hats, koozies, sneakers, luggage, cd cases, lunch bags, coolers, polos, neckties, seat cushions, leather/leatherette car interiors, robes, pillow cases, shorts, uniforms, golf bags, briefcases. Basically anything made of fabric that you can fit onto the press.

Other items that I can make with the Versacamm that don't involve a heat press? Roland has a book of media swatches that shows materials like calendered vinyl for signage of any type, material for windows, floor graphics, removable graphics, vehicle wraps, stickers, decals, posters, labeling, magnets, pop displays etc. etc. - you can also print directly onto banner material and certain canvas material for art prints.

What items can I not make with the Versacamm? Mugs, Pens, Pencils, Cups, Plates, Tiles - basically any item that this machine does: Imprintor Pad Printer

Keep in mind that you could also accomodate some of these items like mugs, tiles, and plates with sublimation as well.

If you have other questions just post them.....

I'm glad it sounds good

I'm excited to educate people about it. Our 2nd booth in Long Beach will definitely be worth stopping by - I have been putting together the booth display, samples, marketing etc. for the last month and will be working the booth with a couple business owners (and t-shirtforum members) that own Versacamms

I'll plan to decorate all sorts of things that were described.

I did get your PM and am putting together some samples to mail.

I think it is important for people to understand the opportunities available with a DTG vs a Versacamm and other technologies for that matter when start up capital is limited.
