Be sure to test the paper in your printer then with your press to be sure all is well.

I have had some papers which will not work for me and I don't know the reason but the sticking problem and poor transfer have both occurred.

Talk to other paper suppliers as there are several types of printers--more specifically--several types of fusers and that is critical info in determining which paper to use.

I got an OKI C3400 for about $250. You can usually find them for around $300. I've had it for awhile now and it seems to be working just fine. I just got a new black toner cartridge that's supposed to last for 2500 sheets for $25.

Mike,

I haven't had luck with the texile paper, washed out noticably after a few washes.
I washed in cold water, air dried and turned inside out. Any tips on getting the most out of this?


Thanks!

Thanks All. When I went to the ARA Show back in January - there was a company called JOTO there that seems to be almost the same as Magic Touch. I got some of their paper; but haven't tested it yet - need to find it first. Very small booth at ARA; but when talking to the 2 guys there - they said it would work with just about any laser printer. I think they make an ink jet type too.

I see from looking around that due to the paper thickness - jamming seems to be one of the main problems if using the MFP Feed, versus the manual single feeder.

I suppose it won't hurt to get some paper and test it out on the lasers I currently have.

I have to feed all my paper one sheet a a time with Magic Touch.

It's been a while since i did any shirts for testing but previously they seemed t last a reasonable time.

I have some Joto paper here for testing but haven't had time yet.

I just completed a large Stainless Steel Thermos order. Other than changing the recommended settings, I was very impressed. Magic Touch paper has my business until someone can prove they've invented a better wheel.

I'd like to post pictures, but the logos used may or may not cause trademark issues.

Are you sealing these? Are going through a glazing unit? I heard that a second heating in an oven with help with durability.

I use Magic Touch mainly for display products as they can be scratched.

These Thermos can holders have a rubber bottom, so after I finished pressing all of them (using mug press attachment), I cranked the heat up to 425, placed them in with the rubber end hanging out & let bake for 5 min each. While baking, I did not close the mug press. Afterwards, there was a huge difference in durability and looks - the color seemed to pop. Can the finished product be scratched - Yes, but my tests have shown they can take a lot of abuse.

I use a heat gun to post bake the finish and it does last longer.
