obviously you talking about the laser transfer papers.
You need a white toner laser printer.
Around $6,000 for the A3 size.

Thanks for your reply, but i know those oki printer with a white toner are really expensive, but for that A & B foil paper and Flex Soft No-Cut paper i can also use a normal laserprinter?

Technically yes, but how are you going to print white on black or dark color shirts?
Also you will not be able to print pink, grey, or any other pastel color, which rely on the substrate for its white content. Toner is the glue basically, so you need to use white to compensate where needed.

For Flex Soft you don't need the white toner, in fact you don't even need a colour printer .
A cheap mono printer is all that is required.

Eh... yes and no. The colors pop a lot more when white toner is used.

I think you need to do some research on Flex Soft.


The colour comes from the film used.
It's a 2 part system, you print black onto the back of the film then press to the emulsion sheet.
By prinitng white toner on top of the black toner you would hinder the process.

You don't print white over the black...you simply print white. I know what I'm saying. The colors pop more when using white toner. Do one test with white and one with black toner and you will see.
