Hi there,
So I am hoping to get some advice, advice that works because currently I think we have been given a bit of a bum steer.
So we decided to start doing our own event t shirt printing
as well as mugs, badges, patches and other small promotional stuff, that we have in the past sent away to get done for our events.
We have the heat press machine
new printer
sublimation paper
here is our issue - ink
We were told that we had to get sublimation ink.
So we spent a fair amount of $$ on ink
Now I read here that sublimation ink does not work on black shirts
Well our shirts are all black and or red/green/pink/blue
We do not do white shirts for our events ever.
We have a new epson xp960 printer and a new heat press machine
we are a bit too in the hole financially now to go fk it lets keep sending it out.
my questions are
What is the best ink to purchase to get a good bright finish on our shirts
or / should we invest more $$ in a vinyl cutter and vinyl press.
I will add we still would prefer to heat transfer
also we want to do sublimation on mugs and badges / key rings / stubby coolers. these are the things we use the most and give away at our events.
We also have been offered a couple of small contracts with some other groups in our area so we want to get their shirts right for them as well.
I thank you all in advance for your help.
