quote: the existence of the paper itself remains largely a secret. My guess is that it's a secret because there isn't a whole bunch of money to be made in sharing it....Forum buzz will flourish because the switch to that process will most benefit the end user Namely people like you and I, and perhaps a couple of vendors. Until they decide to publicly market the product heavily, I expect it to continue as an industry secret. Ultimately the forum's will help it grow......but right now there is no real advertising budget to compete with the other types of imaging systems that are out there. Kind of an odd way about the free market eh? Sometimes even when it brings a better process to market....it sits on the sideline because it's not as profitable as the old way.

You are correct Brian, the major players in sublimation that are selling inks, paper, substrates etc. now would see all of those sales dwindle to the sales of paper only. That is why they will not sell the CLTT (OEM Transfer) process, no money to be made. Mick Cactus Equipment & Supplies www.cactus-equipment.com 800-440-6847
