    Hi Guys

    Has anyone found a solution for printing decals to go onto polo shirts and jackets that work with a latex printer, Ive tried my normal avenues including Metamark who do one that would be ideal but does not include latex in the compatibilities.

    Thanks for any help with this or other suggestions, don’t get a lot of requirements but since I already have the printer and cutter seems pointless subbing it out if I can help.

    Cheers

    Kev

    Try grafityp, we use there printable textile through our latex using just standard vinyl profile, works a treat!

    Hi Kev – which latex machine? – Only asking as the Metamark clothing vinyl works fine on the L3** series, we got a sample and tested on both L310 & L360 with perfect results.

    It works better than the others we have tested – one issue with Grafityp is the transfer tape issue… doesn’t alworks come off the backing neatly (Which I think has been mentioned on these boards before).

    Thanks Guys, Colin its the 310 so should work ok., which profile do you use as that seems to be the problem getting profiles for some of Metamarks stuff.

    I will contact the rep and see if I can organise a sample.

    If anyone else has more suggestions while I try the above please let me know.

    PET Film generic – then created own profile on L360.

    Anyone used these on the 26500? I’m interested to know if it works well and how it washes..

    We use the grafityp media on the 260’s with no issues at all! Prints & washes well!
