can anyone recommend an OKi Laser for sub printing?

[Craig Newton]

its transfer as opposed to sub, sub can only be done on poly surfaces and also really only on light surfaces, i had a look into the magic touch but it seems a bit steeply priced, however if youve found a customer for it ring and ask if you can try a few sample sheets

The Oki printer is only for transfering images via colour laser printer which is not the same as sublimation printing. With colour laser the toner "sticks" to the item you are transfering the image onto. This isn’t the same as sublimation. The colour laser printing process works with cotton t-shirts but the results are not, imho, as sublimation t-shirts. Likewise the reproduction onto ceramics is better with sublimation.

It very much depends on what you want to do. The magic touch system works good on some products, the sublimation process works good on others.

I think the above comments are fair. I use Magic Touch papers for Tshirts using a Panasonic colour laser, this is the printer they used to sell before the OKI. Prints are fine but sublimation is better and for ceramics there is no comparison – sublimation is way better. The Magic Touch does have a large range of things to print onto though and many will not be suited to sublimation, I suppose the ideal solution is both systems using each one for its best use.

I agree with Alan, we have both systems and for items such as the ceramics the sub method is much better, if you decide to use the magic touch system i would avoid using the wow process. It is very time consuming and we have been getting mixed results.
