it’s like the stuff that Target have launched….. WOW 7.1 ??

I thought the WOW stuff was sold exclusively by THE MAGIC TOUCH … unless some other outfit has started distributing it.
I´ve seen it demonstrated at an exhibition and was not impressed.
I was given a couple of sheets to play with and my opinion didn´t change.
Quite a lengthy rigmarole to set up and then several steps to the finished article which requires PERFECT registration. Very plasticy feel when on the garment. No idea what the durability is.
I think the price is about 3.00 euros here.Chris A

The video is of a Chinese paper………..I saw the Wow but thought it very complex and expensive.
This one looks to be dye sub print then press within 20 minutes.John

I thought that the WOW paper was very clever but for production too much messing about, it is expensive and according to the chap demonstrating not all presses are suitable to press it so many would need another press, so it my view – clever but not really practical.

Hi,
This looks like paper / ink actually called ‘kisscut’. They produce both paper and their own inks (with a cis kit) for use with an epson printer. You ‘can’ use standard inkjet inks but the washability is rubbish. Would be useful for indoor graphics on fabric though – things not going to get wet or washed.
With kisscut you print onto the specific paper with the specific inks and then press onto the garment within half an hour or so of the printing. If it is left longer than that then there are some issues with it.
It is a lot easier than wow – but you do have to get the temperature and pressure settings just right, and as these vary between heat presses it can take a bit of time to find the right ones. It’s like anything new, you have to get used to it.
You still have the same issues with dark garments, a no go area at the moment, but they are working on a white ink I gather.
Suffice to say we splashed out and bought a Gjet direct to garment printer – it does both dark and white garments to very high standards !
Saph 🙂
