Hi everyone. My question is If i purchase a roll of heat transfer vynil that can be printed on like the Versacamm uses. Will I be able to purchase this roll and then cut the sheets into the size I want like 8 1/2 x 11, 11x17, 13x19 and so on. Will I be able to feed these cut sheets that I made into my Epson 1400 with pigment inks and print out a transfer, then take it over to the GX-24 and cut out the image. Is that possible?

I dont want to use any of the opaque heat transfers because they dont seem all that great. I would love to be able to use the heat transfer vynil that can be printed on then heat transfered like the versacamm can. But as far as i know you cant by this vynil in sheets. So i am really curious if i can buy this roll of printable heat transfer vynil. Cut into sheets 11x17 and print them out with my Epson 1400, then cut them out with the roland gx-24. Id really like to know if its possible.

Most vinyl that is printed on a Versacamm is going to media that accepts mild solvent inks. Your 1400 will use a completely different type of ink.

Check this link out - Specialty Materials - ColorJet

They have it in both sizes sheets you mentioned.

Hi I am thinking of buying a laser point print cutter but from what I understand you cant cut out normal transfer paper with it?? Am I mistaken?? And if this is the case why do all these cutter brands say works great with shirt transfers
