I get it from Transfer Papers and Sublimation Inks at Joto and No I don't believe they have camo.

Thanks! This may sound like a dumb question, but do they have online ordering from their site?

I found the multicut there and checked out their FAQ, but I didn't see any shopping or "add to cart" type functions? Do you just have to order by phone?

They don't have online ordering per say. You set up an account with them then either phone in your order or simply email your customer rep.

I have never had a problem with them recieving my emails and sending my product out the same day or next if I already missed the cutoff time.

They are very friendly and helpful people and will send you out samples if you ask for 'em.

Is this reg army camo or trebark or something on that line?
It's what I would call a regular army camo. If you call Specialty Materials direct they'll send you a nice color chart of all their different products as well as swatch samples.

Hi there! I am thinking of ordering the camo print too. Did it ever arrive? How was the feel?

Thanks!

How does the Electric compare with the Megatallic? Also, does anyone know if Eco-Film has a different feel/quality than Spectra II? Is it the same only "environmentally friendly"? Thanks!

It arrived this week, but I haven't had a chance to make a t-shirt with it yet. Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend so I can post some pics.

My husband really wanted a shirt with the camo, so I ordered a small amount myself. It's great to be able to order a couple feet to try it out!

I've been a big Thermoflex fan for a while but have started using some of the Eco Film lately and love it. And now the new colors are really getting my interest.

However, I recently used a roll of Easy Weed and it seemed very similar to Eco Film. Is it the same product under different names? Just curious as the Easy Weed is about $4 per roll cheaper.

Trying to decide which direction to go here and would like to avoid keeping different brands with different application parameters if possible. Easy Weed and Eco Film I think have similar parameters but both different than ThermoFlex. ThermoFlex too has come out with new colors.

The other problem I've run into with ThermoFlex is inconsistancy in application. Sometimes different colors hot peel easier than other times and you have to let it cool a bit before peeling...which becomes a production issue for larger orders. If it was a consistent cold / cool peel than I would just let it sit and peel later but it's the unpredictability of it that gets you.

Any problems of this type with the Eco Film?

Finally, I have found that ThermoFlex seems to weed easier when it somes to small lettering..such as "i's", "L's" and dots & periods than Easy Weed (go figure) and Eco Film. Any others share this experience or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Alright - another dumb question here - what is the difference between vinyl and thermal transfer? It is just thermal transfers are printed on a transparency with multi colors, if you like, and vinyl is a single color plastisol ink type?
