Epson 1430 / Cobra Ink. Generic heat press (confirmed accurate with digital temp gun.)

I have tried all sorts of combinations of Time and Temp. I get about 10% dye transfer. The image is barely visible.

No, will not work for dark shirts.
Needs to be white or light colors.

What's the point of making this paper? If you can't even put this on dark shirts. You can accomplish the same thing with transfer paper with a regular printer.

Can someone tell me the benefits of this? All over prints on cotton shirts? They don't even have rolls of sheets for this.

So far I'm out.

It sounds like our icc profile was not installed on your computer.
Give me a call: 800.826.6332 ext 202

I have been asking what profile to install. All the ones listed on the site are not for epson? No?

Horrible test results here.

Called twice today for support, was told I needed to leave a message for a Manager and never got a call back.

I'm Getting terrible results so far. I have tried numerous color profiles and paper settings. I have asked What paper settings and/or color profiles to use but I get no answers.

Im going to try one more sheet then I'm putting the remaining sheets back in the box and requesting a return label.

Same here had tech support log in to my of they updated drivers and set me up but the colors were totally off and I still had same crappy results. I am also thinking about asking for a return label.

So you are not kicking your poly supplier to the curb after all? LOL

I think you need to be more patient, eventually you'll get it right, in the meant time I'll sit and watch... good luck.

I tried a quick print with this paper today with decent results except when the shirt is stretched it cracks soft of. When you stop stretching it seems to go back into place. If a women wore it it would look cracked in in the bust area. Anyone else had this issue?

LOL nope not yet, it took me multiple times to get the whole sublimation thing down i just need to be more patience and keep trying.

 

[Conde_David]

I recommend washing before stretching. Seems to stretch just fine.

I had pretty good luck in testing.

Using an Epson 7610 with Cobra Inks in refillable carts. Printing from Illustrator.

Used my normal poly sublimation settings which include the PPM Poly icc profile from Cobra. Paper set to Presentation Matte, high quality, and high speed. Pressed with heavy pressure on a Geo Knight DK20S at 375-380 for 25 seconds. No cover sheet.

Colors were good and got very solid ink transfer on both 50/50 and 100% cotton (Gildan).

Make sure you lint roll well. I was using ash gray shirts and could tell when I didn't roll well enough. A quick second press with craft paper also seems to smooth the print out a bit.

So far, other than the cost, I like the product.

 

[Techamongous]

I give up. I have had ZERO success with this product. I even cut my sheets in half so I could try more settings and waste less..

Checked my press with a laser temp to exactly 375
Printed with the exact settings the other Cobra Ink user suggested.
Printed with settings that Support suggested.

I get next to no transfer, what does transfer only seems to stick to parts of the shirt.

Hopefully I can return the remaining paper for a refund. I'm calling it quits. At $2.50 a sheet, I can get better results with regular ink and transfer paper for 1/4 the cost.

Epson dyesub: doing good.

What does this mean?

I called the other day and was told that you do not offer a profile for this paper for the large Epson printers (8 color SubliM). Why are you no longer supporting Epsons, which used to be the industry standard?
I wish I had been told that when I ordered the paper from my rep.

I have your 9880 SubliM profiles for XP and SPP, will either of these work?
"E9880 DyeTrans Sublim XP"
"E9880 DyeTrans Sublim SPP"
and still have a copy of the much older
"E9880 DyeTrans XP720 v2"

 

[Conde_David]

We are supporting epsons. We do offer profiles for SubliM for 9880 and 9890. For new installs on the 9890/7890 we prefer the Sublijet Pro Photo ink set.

What new printer?

Same printer that I have used for years (7800 running 9880 profiles). Do I use my XP or SPP profile for SubliM with the Reveal-S paper?
I was informed there wasn't a profile for it.

Why the SubliJet over SubliM? What kills it for me is that I can't find liter refills for the SubliJet on your site and the 350mL cartridges of SubliJet are more than the Liter bottles of SubliM (I assume because of the cost of the disposable cartridges versus my refillables).

 

[Conde_David]

Since this is the thread for Reveal, may we continue this on another thread? I prefer the gamut of the SJPP for Chromaluxe. We will support you with profiles for the 9890 with SubliM. If you want the king of bulk ink SubliM, I suggest the Mutoh RJ900X

I'm trying to get a profile so that I can use the Reveal paper that I received from you!
...but you're right, this is taking up too much of the thread, I've sent you a PM.

 

[8th Day]

I just went and bulled my way through it (ICC profiles be damned! ).

Here are the print settings I used (Texprint XP profile for SubliM):

The image below shows what the print comes off the printer looking like. Had to use an 8x10 size because my printer doesn't do edge to edge on 8.5"x11" sheets; This stuff really needs to come in a roll, but judging by the per sheet price, I dread to think what a 24" roll will price at.

Used a 100% Organic Cotton T in Sport/Heathered Grey.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is how nice it is to align these prints with the clear plastic backing... the image shows through nicely for centering.

These are the press settings I used (from a discussion I read earlier in this thread):

...and below is the result. After pressing, there is also some kind of faint chemical odor that I can't quite place (almost like a Windex smell?)...

I used the color chart that I print on every substrate the first time, knowing that the lighter colors would lift, which will allow me to reference just how light is "too light" in the future. There is a definite 'hand' to the print, not dissimilar to heavy screenprint.

I'll run it through a couple loads of wash and report back soon.
