  • Problems with OBM 5.6 from TMT, please help?

    Posted by Stephen Henderson on 20 November 2008 at 18:48

    I have just bought some OBM 5.6 from TMT. I was told by the rep that this would be ideal for what I am doing ( white rectangle with print inside) onto a dark garment. I did try to do this yesterday with WOW to no success.
    I have run one sheet through the laser (oki5800) and it only slightly printed it, so I tried again, and again,,,,and it still doesn’t print the image.
    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong,,,Oh I did try normal paper in case there was a print error, but it was fine

    Thanks in advance

    Ive just used some today on a 5800 and a 5600.

    Make sure you have the Oki set to "Labels 2" and that you have the photo options set in the colours.

    I find with the OBM that you need to make the colours much, much darker as they seem to lighten alot when printed.
