Newbie to garment printing – advice please?
Hi,
Got myself a heat press from the sign show and now need some advice on printing garments……Have been told that I need a Ink Jet printer for the sublimation printing…onto white garments and corporate items, but to also get a lazer printer in order to print onto dark garments.. I am looking to print mainly dark garments but want to achieve the look of screen printing…..will also get a cutter in order to cut around the logo. I have an order for black t shirts which will be printed with white lettering, these are for a company so will need to be hard wearing………what can you guys suggest?
Thanks

If you already have a cutter then I would go for EasiMark (used to be called HotMark, its the same stuff). You can get it from http://www.victory-design.co.uk/
Its excellent, a bit pricey but well worth it.
Not sure about the printing side of things, I only use EasiMark. -
Hi squeak
Victory do garment films that you can print onto using an ordinary inkjet, ones you can sublimate onto and ones you can thermal print onto.
I you’re confused about what is available give victory a call and ask for glynn 01246 570 570
Talk to glynn about what you can acheive Now, before you go off and spend a fortune on laser printers and the like.

Hi mate, no I didn’t make it to Sign UK this year. To be honest I dont do alot of sign work any more, Im doing more garment stuff so I didnt really think the show would have much for me. Same reason Im not on here as much as I used to be, Im more of a spectator now! 😀
