Guest fivestar Posted November 7, 2007 go to www.jotopaper.com and request a sample of their multicut. It's as good as thermoflex plus and it is 20" wide for aprox. the same price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted November 12, 2007 I did my first real shirt this weekend using a combination of ThermoFlex and Easyweed. The ThermoFlex for me was easier to weed, however it was a pain when I attempted to cold peel after application at 350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted November 12, 2007 Peel thermoflex hot, I know it says cold peel but you can peel it hot. Also like I said in an earlier post, try multicut from www.jotopaper.com as you won't be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharpie 0 Posted November 14, 2007 I am totally new to these discussions but I have been running a Mac with Flexi with a Gerber plotter for many many yrs. now, I finally decided to upgrade to a laptop and a bigger plotter so I bought the P-Cut. I have been able to hook it up and run it but when I am using the Thermoflex (which I had used with my Gerber) the small letters do not even cut as they look on my computer. The plotter is rounding out my letters rather than cutting a nice clean egde~the bigger letters look ok. I have even slowed it way down to see if that would help with the quality. I am also NOT used to using a plotter without the punched ends to hold material in place and maybe I am not placing the feet in the correct position. If anyone could give me any tips that would be greatly appreciated. I love the Thermoflex so would like to stick with that if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
