The best printing material for T-Shirts on a Roland SP300?
Hi,
I try to make a small business with T-Shirts and I have a friend, who has a Roland SP300 for his sports wear business, but his materials are to heavy for my needs.
I am looking for a film, which I can press onto a 100% cotton T-Shirt and it feels soft and light (but it's not shiny) also if the picture is a big one, not only some letters. Let's say, I want to make T-Shirts with a big Donald Duck on it.
I am really new into this and I am really confused with all the techniques and such, so I try to find out, what is the best for my needs.
I have some T-Shirts on my own, which have prints on them in many colors with many gradients and they have some rubbery touch (the prints), but they are very soft.
I would like to make such prints with gradients, but I don't know, if it was made by a transfer film, or is it screen printing or how all the other techniques are called.
It would be nice, if somebody could help me out.
I tried to make T-Shirts with direct digital print, but it looks horrible on a black T-Shirt, so I think I need something with transfare print.
I have read so many posts about the different techniques, but I can't get smarter. I posted this here, because the Roland printer seems to be the best solution until now.
So what transfer material can I use to get that soft and light rubbery print with gradient colors?

you can see on digitex.com.au and ask them. I have received samples of their white flex already printed... very very thin and good result with washing. I have not that printer (only in my dreams).
I think that you have a démo on youtube but it's not the same as digitex.

Sorry i have not read until the end of your post...
If you make gradients, you can't cut it without a "box". I think the only solution is dtg or direct screen print or plastisol transfer... Good luck.

Do you mean by "box" a border for the image? That is not a problem for me, if the image has to have a border.
We tried the motives with the Roland Printer and it was printed and cut fine. For me it's the film important, because the Roland films are just crap for that, what I need.
You mean digitex has that rubbery material? I don't see too much on their site, but I fount the text "....and now digiTEX rubber film"

I would also suggest that you check with Josh from Imprintables to get samples of Opaque solutions and clear solutions material. IMHO it is the best stuff on the market!
