outhouse 0 Posted January 20, 2011 can anyone help me , I have been using transfer paper in my epson 1800 for a few years but where you don't but off the paper it leaves a slight film on the shirt is there a paper that doesn't do that? also trying to do two color transfers on some shirts usuing my plotter with thermo-grip film, do i just plot them seperate by seperating the colors on Illustrator and then hand placing them togeter or is there diffrent film to use?

Heat Transfer Warehouse 0 Posted January 31, 2011 There are laser papers that are trim-free (self weeding) that work great for light colored garments. I am not sure about stahls material, but i know our thermoflex layers great and yes you would do an entire design in two colors, separate them on the computer, cut them, and than eye it or use a ruler or a laser to place them on the garment.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 31, 2011 or sublimation where you are dying the threads with no transfer at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 1, 2011 That is true - the downside to sublimation is you have to sue a polyester or poly blend shirt but the results are incredible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted February 1, 2011 Scott how much do their shirts run and are you limited to light colors? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 1, 2011 The shirts do rum more - like 6-8 and your are limited to light colors but for people working outside to not have the transfer trapping sweat and heat they seem to love them. They are moisture wicking shirts http://www.dyetrans.com/group.php?webmaincat=sub_prods&websubcat=apparel&websubcat2=vapor&websubcat3=basic_t&title=Vapor%20Basic-T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
