wow thats some set up mate looks good thank you for all the help gives me alot to think about and how to set bits up

ok sounds intresting do you have any pictures at all and thats something i could do quite easy as its swing away just unscrew it and drop it on the bottom plate and do you put a sheet between the transfer and the heat plate or just put it on the plate as in guess you do it white ink side up away from the heat

thank you so much for your reply 1, i will try without first and i can use something i can remove after as a test see which is better 2 perfect 3 taken from the site i plan to buy my rolls, ink etc as im from the uk "Black DTF blockout powder is used to block garment colour or patterns that might be visible through the transfer. It is best mixed with standard, white DTF powder that can be found here in order to improve washability as black powder on is not as strong on its own. Please do your own wash testing as results will vary." 4 i think i will go with medium then some of my images are more blocks of colour so will have to test that out find the best settings just trying to use bit a have already save where i can clam shell press just been sat there since i upgraded

Just want to say hi and also ask for some advise, background: i already have a epson wf-7710 converted to do sublimation, a 30x40cm swing arm heat press, a 40x60 clam shell heat press and a pixmax 610 plotter converted to take roland blades i have got a epson 1500W that i want to convert to dtf printing, i do have a ciss for it but i think im going to keep to cartridges for now for ease of use in way of cleaning and shaking white etc as to start i will not be doing massive amounts of prints, im thinking of setting up the swing arm as a cure press for the powder as i dont use it for anything at the minute i plan to use acrorip 9.03 easy and cheap to get hold of question 1 - would there be any advantage to welding steel flats to 3 side of the clam shell press to make the heat a bit more directional ? question 2 - can i cut the film from a roll to A3 size sheets on a plotter (money saving really) question 3 - iv seen people say mixing black powder with white to stop colour bleed from the shirt colour is there really any benefit to this and at what ratio question 4 - i want to get a nice soft thin feeling transfer would fine or medium powder be the better way to go sorry for all the questions and thanks for any and all advise i think opendtf is great sharing info to help everyone there is so many people that like to keep all info to themself so i have already taken a membership and hope it helps in some small way to keep such a great fourm going kind regards michael
