  • beat paper to use

    Posted by Louise Helen on 9 May 2009 at 19:44

    Hi all,
    Can anybody tell me what would be the best paper to use?
    I use a sublimation set-up but need to print on a batch of 100% cotton bibs and was wondering if anybody can recommend a very good,soft to touch transfer paper, as you can not sublimate on 100% cotton.
    Thanks all,
    Louise. 🙂

    why don’t you make your life easier and go for polyester bibs?

    I would only they supplied the bibs for me to do.
    They don’t mind the iron on if it is soft to feel and not a hard plastic feel.
    thanks
    Louise. 😛

    I use xpres ink jet dark paper with genuine Epson inks but I’ve never been happy with the end result so wouldn’t recommend it 🙁

    Just make sure whatever paper you end up using washes really well at high temps or you could end up with a 100 ruined bibs 😕

    keep us posted on how you get on
