That is an age old question for all transfer paper and maybe for DTG. I do not have an answer other than wash the first shirt. If I do have a wash ability call, it is usually Gildan. But is that because Gildan is very popular? Some years ago I contacted an R&D person at Gildan and ask why I had issues with waging and he said that they used thread thickening agents that could interfere with wash ability. So my advice regardless of the decorating method is to test and verify. And of course some issues are improper transfer technique like not enough pressure. For the Reveal paper we noted excellent wash ability.
I had a chance to see a Reveal pressed at the NBM Dallas show and it was pretty wicked.
I just checked the Conde site and it's not up on there, there's a release delay?
Would love to check it out.
Very close. Sorry we missed out end of March goal. We will send out an email as soon as product is in stock. New videos will go up next week. Waiting on paper to be cut. And then we will package.
David can answer better but the demo video on their YouTube page says that you use sub inks. I believe the concept is that there is polyester emulsion on the film. When you press it, the emulsion melts into the shirt and the ink sublimates to that emulsion as it would any poly surface.
Yes that is correct. It is smart enough to selectively release from the film backing. As an update, we are in the process of approving the product run. I am sorry that this has taken longer than expected.
You are about to make a ton of money if this works well and is cost effective.
Will you have wide format film or only sheets?
What is the cost?
Only white and lights I think I heard you mention in the YouTube video. Correct?
You say it has some hand. How does it compare to screen print and print-n-cut materials?
Nice work....this looks close to the holy grail...add a white "backer" so it works on darks and you may have the complete answer.
Just got off the phone with Conde still not in . But I did get one answer we will have 11x17 size. The big thing for me is that I can do the larger size plus quit using my laser.
The worst release of a product EVER! Get your ducks in a row before announcing you are going to release a product the executives at CONDE should be ashamed of themselves!
Well, we have already released it to some early clients. We opted for a soft launch to get feedback. Mass launch looks like next week. Are you a Conde client?
I am a client/customer and have called in at least three times a week for the past month to be told they have no idea when it is coming out or they are given any information. When I mention the information I have found on the web its like I am speaking greek and they don't understand anything. The best I can get is I will call you when it is available. I requested that it just be shipped to me as I would rather buy it than to be told it is sold out and I doubt that will even happen.
To now hear that it has been released to clients early and I have been calling so much and wasn't offered an early release makes me that much more disappointed!
Kerri C is my rep. now my old rep left the company. All I can say now is I will believe it when I see it. You all have given about three different date to then announce an issue with finalizing detail with manuf.,cutting, etc.
That should have been communicated instead of telling people Mid-March, Last week in March. First week in April... people are waiting and then when the date comes they call to be disappointed as you know this is a product many small business owners will find very useful and those who know about it are excited to test it.
The launch your company has put out announcing dates that are nothing but empty promises is bad business. Then you opt for a soft launch at the end of it all. SMH.
Thank you David for bringing us what sounds like a fantastic product. I'm excited as well. I know things happen so I'm not here to beat Conde up over launch dates. I rather have a late launch of a game changing product than no product at all!! I will say though, I was really hoping for a 13x19 size I could use with my Ricoh like the Textprint HR? Hopefully I can get with Sandi and possibly snag a Reveal -S before they're gone!! Really
looking forward it!!!
Just 8.5"X11" and 11"x17" next week. Pushing for 13"x19" as soon as we can.
