I have just started using the new Joto trimless paper to produce printed t-shirts. I have been printing shirts digitally with various transfer papers for over 5 years and this paper seems to represent a major breakthrough for us. We save a lot of time by not having to trim around logos and we can print on a bunch of light colored shirts. My first 100 or so shirts have come out beautifully, and we are in awe.

I am interested in other's views who may have tried this new paper.

My paper will arrive tomorrow, can't wait to test it. Do you have any photos?

We have been selling it only for one week and already have received very positive feedback. As one customer commented..."fabulous".

Hey Ed,
On the Joto site they have it on a yellow shirt, what is the darkest color you tested with?

 

[paxtondan]

we have done a dark(ish) lime green and it is beautiful

 

[proworlded]

We tried it on white and pastels.

what is the difference between trimless and self weeding?

 

[Twanabee]

I take it that this paper is for laser printers??

 

[paxtondan]

not sure there is a difference...except that trimless with this paper is about digital printing and self weeding may be a term relating to vinyl cutting

 

[paxtondan]

yes it is for laser printers. The Joto folks steered me to an OKI printer and it seems to work very well with their paper - very crisp logos

The TrimFree is a one step application. Also, less costly.

Yes, it is for laser printers/copiers.

Have any pics so we can see?

Fairly new here and just trying to make sure I get this. So, If I understand this correctly, does this eliminate the need to have the contour cutting feature on a vinyl cutter? If so, this is awesome.

 

[proworlded]

That is correct. No trimming necessary, hence the name, TrimFree.

This paper is for laser and for white or light colored fabrics only.

However, sometimes you can apply to darker colors (not black) if you make your graphic black. It's similar to black vinyl onto colored fabrics but no weeding needed. Here is a photo of a black only graphic onto a red shirt.

I have some samples coming shortly. I am an Imageclip for light user. If this product holds up to its claim I will be switching product. We shall see.

What I have seen pictures that are posted are spot color. How is it with gradient, light color and photo artwork? I am asking because Imageclip for laser does not work with those types of artwork.

What are the advantages of laser printed transfers over inkjets?

 

[proworlded]

It is not recommended for photo and gradient artwork.
