I know I haven't spent much I'm just over $1000, but before I spend more I need to know what I'm doing wrong. I bought a Epson Artison 730 printer, CISS, brand Anti-UV Sublimation ink specifically for Epson Artison 730, sublimation heat transfer paper by World paper. I have tried 100% polyester, I have tried the TW and TC spray and the ink will not transfer. I have followed all of the instructions. Any help is appreciated.

Don't know anything about the particular system but we sublimate all the time, are you using the correct side of the paper?

 

[martinwoods]

Also I know this may be a dumb question but you are heating it correct? not sure other than the heat and the wrong side of the paper because it is a pretty straight forward process.

Yeah I am using the shiny side of the paper and heating it at 400 for 50 seconds. Thanks for the reply.

When you said you're using the Shiny Side of the Paper, is this for pressing or printing?

Are you using White 100% Polyester t-shirts?

 

[TwoDogsFighting]

Printing on the shiny side.

 

[TwoDogsFighting]

100 % polyester fabric. Also tried sublimation dog tags. Nothing transfers. I did wet a shirt and it transferred.

That is weird, never heard of such a thing, I have heard of blurry prints etc, but never a no print, did you call the company you purchased from and ask them what it could be.

 

[TwoDogsFighting]

Not yet. I'm tring to figure out if it's the ink, printer, press or transfer paper. Thanks for your time.

I did some research and looked at World Paper reviews on amazon.com. It looks like they have great reviews except for their transfer paper. That's my fault for not researching. Hopefully my lesson can be someone's gain. Thanks again.

I've used World Paper. Haven't had problems yet. Of course my paper is more like an Egg Shell shine, not glossy.

Two Dog, did you print on White Polyester?
