Does ANY application mask work with Jet Opaque II?

1616 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Mdrake
I have a cheap heat transfer mask that I bought from eBay. It's too strong for a generic dark transfer sheet (ink gets pulled off), but apparently not strong enough to pull my image off of the Neenah Jet Opaque 2 sheet. I've tried everything, squeegeeing both sides, putting the paper under a heat press for a little bit, etc.

Has anybody found any mask that does work?

We have solvent printers so we dont have much use for that paper, we print on htv and cut that. But here is the mask we use for that. I dont see why it wouldn't work for that paper as well. Comes in different tacks, maybe pick the low tack?

Also you can reuse it a few times.

Just to clarify, the goal is to find a mask that works for the Jet Opaque II and a pretty strong one that I use at the moment just refuses to adhere to it. I did buy a high tack sample from Stahls so I'll see how that goes.

I received a sample of the high tack magic masks, it does pick up the weeded print from the Jet Opaque II, but it unfortunately also takes some ink off with it. It looks like I need something a little weaker.

This is a pretty frustrating process to figure out.
