Post by: Frog on June 11, 2012, 06:33:40 PM: Their demo doesn't show a lot about how this is $7000 better than the Image Clip and Image Clip Koncert T transfer papers from Neenah although they do have a learning curve and folks like Conde are still working on tips and tricks to get the most out of them.
These papers supply their own white, so standard laser output devices are used. They are a two step transfer, and it looks like the Oki system is as well.

Post by: sweetts on June 25, 2012, 11:34:54 PM: I received my samples today, the design on the black shirt looks like a print on thick vinyl,with less stretch. I compared it to a full color cad print from stahls and the stahls has a way softer hand and is more stretchable. The other two are ok perhaps not real good designs there was no picture of what they were replicating so its hard to tell if its the look they wanted. I think for the price I would try to get a used DTG or maybe sublimation printer. I would like to see what everyone else thinks please post your thoughts if you get a chance to get a sample print. My final thought is its just not there yet for me.

I have asked for samples to try it out.

Post by: Im-Magic on October 28, 2012, 06:27:40 PM: I tried the samples they sent and could not get them to work, plus the ones that they sent felt very plastic and had no stretch at all.
