Conde sent me 2 sheets of their new Laser M Prints Trim Free paper.

Since no one else seems to have mentioned it here, I tried 1 sheet and wasn't terribly pleased with the results. The colors printed fine, but I was left with a stiff, tacky overlay the size of the print.

Now, I DID press a second time with a Teflon sheet instead of a silicon sheet, which the instructions called for. But there was a lot of gunk on the shirt even before I pressed it.

Anyone else give this paper a try? I don't really have time to mess around with it more at the moment.

UPDATE: Please note that Trim Free (TM) paper is being sold by each vendor under their own "brand" name. See also this thread that was created first: http://www.t-shirtforums.com/laser-heat-transfer-paper/t122816.html

This is a 1-step transfer. Imageclip is a 2-step transfer.

Ohhh I wanna try some of that however I would need a laser printer... Try washing them the tacky ness might go away!

I got samples sent to me (not from Conde) that is the same product that Conde re-branded. After reading negative posts from several member I am not sure if I will even try it.

Yes, it was on a white shirt.

I've had terrific success with Imageclip, and even sell products with the Koncert T and Laser Dark Imageclip paper since I've gotten it to be reliably acceptable.

Ouch how can you sell shirts with those? what 25 bucks each because just the 8.5x11 image clip is 300 bucks for 50 sheets and thats like 6 bucks a sheet!

I didn't pay that much for Koncert T Transfers... nor did I get the best price of all the vendors talked about on these boards. Better shop around!

Imageclip Light is $72 per 100 pack at Conde, for instance:
Product Detail for 9770PO-8511C - DyeTrans.com

Imageclip Koncert T is $89 for a 50 pack.

I only mention the prices as they are published on Conde's site.

Would this be a re-branded version of the CL Trim Free from Joto?

 

[freshlysqueezed]

ohhh wow! dude the image clip for inkjet from them is 100 sheets for 62 bucks! thanks dude!

It may very well be. "Trim Free" has a trademark symbol next to it, and the paper backing only says "Trim Free Laser Light Transfer Paper" No manufacturer name.

Thanks for pointing out it might be rebranded!

 

[freshlysqueezed]

Is it written in light pink writing? If so that is the CL trim free from Joto and I have had disastrous results. I only got the sample pack but that was enough for me to know to leave it alone.
