They claim this paper will work on Dark cotton. Has anyone tried it yet? The process is sublimating on the paper then running it through a cutter, then weeding the "white paper" and then heat pressing and peeling off 1st layer. Then back on the press to finish the sublimation. Very interesting process. Paper runs $4 per sheet. Check it out at digitalheatfx.com

I just do not see how this would be commercially successful. The amount of cost, number of steps and time would make a shirt incredibly expenisve to make.
I am missing something?
No reason it shouldn't work, you are not sublimating the shirt, you are sublimating a "patch" then applying it to the shirt.They claim this paper will work on Dark cotton. Has anyone tried it yet?

This is not a new process BTW. It's not white "paper" it has to be a polymer.
This would give you basically the same thing as an opaque paper transfer done currently with an ink jet pigment printer, but twice the price.
A bit time consuming but I can get $25 per shirt on dark. Over a dozen and I'm screen printing anyway.
That's the price I am getting for pigments with opaque ink jet paper. When you mention over a dozen and you are screen printing ... I would assume single color?A bit time consuming but I can get $25 per shirt on dark. Over a dozen and I'm screen printing anyway.
