Epson durabrite inks work perfectly on this paper and I know that the Epson T1100 is a good medium priced printer. Good luck.
thank you splashes and charles95405 i think it does take pigment inks and is durabite, if you google epson sx200 the top find will take you to that printer on epsons site, if you could tell me would it be compatible and any good for heat transfers thanks again

Yes this printer should do the job fine. It's just the start though. There are some print settings you should use when printing. Plain paper and photo (don't use best photo as it lays down too much ink).thank you splashes and charles95405 i think it does take pigment inks and is durabite, if you google epson sx200 the top find will take you to that printer on epsons site, if you could tell me would it be compatible and any good for heat transfers thanks again
I press this paper at 190 degrees for 30 seconds, having pre-pressed the garment to remove any moisture, I then let it cool for about 20 seconds, Stretch the garment slighty and peel evenly. Then press again for about five seconds. That helps the lasting quality of the print.
I've been using durabrite inks in jpss for quite a while now and it's great.
One thing - if you can stretch to an A3 printer it would be worth your investment if you're doing tees. There are some designs that just don't cut it on an A4 size. Also if you are doing bigger sizes (I do quite a lot of 4XL), they really need the bigger print size.
Cheers
Forgot to say I always cover everything in slicone paper.
thanks again, and what is silicone paper and do i cover it after being heat pressed. once i get up and running i will def stretch to an A3 size printer, do you find the t,shirt business profitable, you,v been a great help
Silcone paper is just like the normal baking paper you buy at the supermarket. It must have a silcone coating though, for non-stick. You can buy rolls in the supermarket, but I buy mine in big flat sheets from a hospitality wholesaler who supplies commercial kitchens. Each sheet more than covers my press and I can re-use them several times. Many of the instructions will tell you to use teflon sheets, which are fine. I find them a pain as they aren't throwaway at the price they are and you have to clean any ink residue off each time. I want fast and easy.thanks again, and what is silicone paper and do i cover it after being heat pressed. once i get up and running i will def stretch to an A3 size printer, do you find the t,shirt business profitable, you,v been a great help
I put a sheet on the bottom of the press mat, underneath the garment and another sheet on top of the garment when I press.
Conde systems have some great videos that are worth checking out, as does Lou at Heatpress essentials.com.
Something else I have found invaluable is "The Big Pad" and the T-square's available from Lou (badalou in the forums). See above. They are brilliant, especially not having to set out your designs while they are sitting on on hot press. (Thanks Lou)
As to profitability. Like everything it's hard work, especially in the beginning. It's profitable for me now and I love it, but it took a while to get there. I have a retail shop and I also sell through eBay.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
i will cheek out the big pad and t square, i have Teflon paper but will look in to the silicon paper, whats ur ebay sellers name so i can check ur tshirts out if u dont mind, thanks for every thing
