So i was in my continuing my quest to find a way to print in dark T-shirts with Soft hand without having a DTG or laser printer with white toner!
The idea:
I have not white ink in my printer but i have white vinyl with very acceptable soft hand (The Joto premium HTV called in USA or Poliflex premium called in Germany )
So i have use the HTV for base !
The procedure:
5 sec in 175C heatpress the vinyl,waiting a bit to cold

Place the JPSS over the vinyl
Press for 20 sec in 195C

The results:

Image transfer succesfully(almost) I think i was not quick to peel the jpss so small piece of ink have stay to jpss(see photos)
Feeling is very acceptable (you feel a thin layer but in my opinion i can sell to customers!)
Wash cycles ???? I dont know , i havent try yet , i hope that the Jpss stays on the vinyl !

If any of you want to try this please post results and methods that you have use here!

My method was quick (just for the idea) My method need improvement !
See photos
And Thanks

I had done the same in the past. I even used JPSS for polyester and cold peel hoping that it will stay on the HTV. It turned out great and had soft hand. However, after first wash the image washed off. You are better off using Joto CL Premium II for laser printer. You must hand trim or contour cut excess opaque. Weed out the excess.
Why not just use Jet-Opaque, printed with sublimation inks?
HTV is more durable than Jet-opaque. The poster probably is trying HTV because of durability issue. BTW he did not mention sublimation.

Speaking of sublimation Forever has one. Not sure how durable is the transfer. The ink is printed on the adhesive side. When heated the color sublimates through the HTV. It does not require Ecosolvent printer just regular sublimation inkjet printer.

The video shows the HTV being stretched. So it must be durable.

i've done this quite awhile ago

the jpss transferred well
(try lowering your temp to 190C and upping your dwell time to 25 sec and a warm peel)

but the vinyl i used was different and the hand was terrible
i tossed the shirt without wash testing as it was full of opaque inkjet papers i was trailing at the time,
and i was not happy with any of them
