Default RE: Dye Sublimation printers?????

Raymac:

Can you describe what your process is for your decals? I, too make them but I use as thin of a MEDIA as I can find for my EPSON 1280 printer. ( I NEVER use anything but Epson media in an Epson machine, Canon with Canon, etc. )

There are two different ways for the ink to lay down onto your media. The use of your ink jets "firing" actually heats up your ink.

Then I use a small 3M laminator (12") (cold) 2ml plastic on top and and ahesive on the back side.

In fact, that is 100% of the manner how I label my adhesive products. (CA, epoxyies, ect.)

Dye Sub on the other hand is a good system of printing, but personally, I feel I have more control over my colour profiles with the ink
