    Morning All!

    I am currently looking into being able to print more complex designs in colour on clothing. I currently just use flex on a cutter and then heat on. Obviously it has its positives and negatives.

    I don’t want to screenprinting, in my mind its messy and also nightmare and costly for one-offs.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    magic touch laser or subli onto a transfer film is my guess, and how I do it when required, it’s thick and feels plasticy but the only way to do it unless you can print white or DTG (rather expensive!)

    Hi Craig how’s it going?

    I was in the same situation, decided to start using mt’s wow paper, that illuminates the background so as close to a screen print as you’ll get. It’s time consuming compared to other methods butyl lowers you to design more complex stuff, it’s also a lot more expensive so you need to account for that when printing.

    The other option if you have a solvent printer is to buy the film and print and cut from that.
