Hi all. Not a usual topic for this forum, but I find the abundance of information and expertise here so refreshing. Anyway, in addition to the tinkering that I do with my laser, I engage in a little sublimation so I have a heat press. My little guy is celebrating his 100th day of school with his kindergarten class and they are having a parade. I thought I might make 100 day celebration T's for the kids in the class. Using sub inks and vapor wear is not going to be cost efficient. I also use some transfer paper spectra? something..... anyway I use pigment ink and get good results with it. My only problem is that if I use a color background and trim the image it looks great. If I print and plan to have a white background with wording etc... it leaves an unsightly box around the image. I understand that I could trim it but will still have that filmy look in the areas that I would just like white.
So I admit that I rarely do T's and have very limited knowledge on the products available, but since I have the equipment and can get some kid t's cheap... why not? So does anyone have a suggestion of a paper transfer that wouldn't leave such a heavy film in the areas that I would prefer to have blank. |
