Looking for someone local to me in SOCAL to do a sample print with white laser hp printer with Ghost toner . I have a picture of my son's band that I want to put on a black t . I'm thinking about using Ghost white toner for my HP , but would like to try first as the cost and shipping is big $

 

[sandhopper2]

I will pay for this I'm not asking for a freebee , I just don't want to spend $300-$500 just to find out it is crap . I have watched the videos and it looks good , but I need to see and feel first hand

Be sure to ask the second half of the questions regarding these printers ...........

1. What paper can you use? HP's run very hot and I believe you'll find that you'll be very restricted as to what paper can be used.

2. How difficult is the alignment involved? You cannot print white at the same time as full color with these printers. That means that you'll need to run the paper through twice.

I had personal experience with this process using 2 OKI printers - one of which had been set up to print white. The process, for me, was a nightmare. (I've not used the Ghost / HP printers but I do know that the white print requires a second run).

3. There is no RIP software that will work with this process, restricting you even further from what you can really get done.

I'm guessing that the end print quality will be fine on any sample you get. It's get to that sample - double run on specific paper without the benefit of any RIP software that is the real issue to me.

Just to make sure I was right on what I was mentioning in the previous post .... I did a quick research look up:

Here's a link that you might want to read up on

Thanks for the link , I have looked a many of these . I'm looking for anyone in the socal area that has this setup . I will pay for a t shirt done with my art work as long as I can see the process and it is done with the Ghost white toner
Thanks Larry

did you ever check out adriatic's site?

i wonder where he gets his white cartridges

there are places to get the white toner in powder form,
but how to get it into the cartridges???

Have you asked UScutter if they can sell you a sample shirt that was pressed with HP printed transfer with Ghost White toner? That would be logical thing to do. Or buy printed transfer that has not been married so you will have first hand experience on marrying and pressing the transfer on the shirt. You already seen the videos. Tell them you are interested with ghost white toner printer.

Yes I did and his was another international site and not in english . There are several videos on how to refill carts , so the idea is to get toner powder and use empty black cart I have
Clean it out with compressed air to get rid of all black toner

 

[into the T]

yeah, i used bablefish to translate and was still lost as to what exactly he did,
nowhere to purchase, or supplier, or really anything

check out alibaba for the powder
there are a few that will send smaller samples
but generally range in the $200-$250/kg

 

[sandhopper2]

Thanks Edward , but I think I will stay with Luis idea and call us cutter and ask for sample . I guess no one in my area is using this stuff yet . The $165 price from Ghost is ok with me I just have a problem with shipping at $60 for 1 cart
Back to doing my vinyl cutting

 

[sandhopper2]

No help from US cutter they don't do samples
And Ghost wants to send me a shirt , but not the transfer and of course I pay for shipping
The shirt is not what I want so still looking for some real nice person to help out

Good morning Brian !
This is the problem that we have located in Germany!
Lots of products like white toner ,cobra ink ,jpss neenah etc. we can't find it in Germany!
Although Germany have a big production and you can't find for example ink so good like the cobra ink!
For the friend that has started this thread I can't provide information about HP and ghost or white toner but I think he can find a really good transfer paper for his printer in the Politape company! They also provide samples paper!! So mail them and ask them to send you samples paper for your printer!
Another solution is the plastisol transfers! I have a company that located in Chech Republic but they speak also German !They had send me plastisol samples ready to press and the results was amazing!

They are also cheap!

Thanks , but Ghost is from Germany
I just need something with white toner or a little bit of the toner powder , to test this out

 

[Lnfortun]

This is a gamble. There is supplier from Au Ebay for C711Wt white toner refill. It may work with HP?

Thanks Luis , I sent a message maybe this will be a shot
do you think toner is a special blend for each brand of printer ?

According to Al his toner is made mostly for Okidata and Minolta. I tried several times to ask Al to find a monochrome printer that will work with his toner but it had fallen on deaf ears. If he can do that more people would be more inclined to buy his toner or even the printer with white toner because it would be a cheaper solution. Then sell it with his sublimation inkjet printer. CMYK laser printer is not really necessary for Laser/Sublimation system. Just white toner.

Based on the numerous models and brands of printers that Ghost White listed as compatible I am inclined to assume that they can't be making special blend for each model and brand. That would be expensive to dedicate unique blend for each printer.

 

[into the T]

that is a simple solution Luis
maybe too simple???

 

[Lnfortun]

If the quantity is truly the amount that will fill a C711Wt cartridge you could probably fill an HP cartridge 2 or 3 times.

 

[sandhopper2]

Fingers crossed , I ordered some White toner and going to try and fill my own Black cartridge and change the chip
Are there any tips on how to get all the left over black out ? My idea is to use compressed air and be out side with mask
