Question T shirt transfer/printing using HP latex

[john maughan]

I like to use our HP latex 315 to make transfers for T-shirts.

Does anyone have a supplier in the UK for good media to use and I suppose any ideas or tips.

The last time we tried Tshirt printing it was using a desktop Ricoh sublimation printer and it did not go that well.

Before looking for a supplier you should look which flex brands are compatible with Latex (check HP PrintOS Media Locator https://www.printos.com).
Here some suppliers, members could provide you further details which material is suitable with Latex printers.

Both Spandex and metemark have said the machine runs too hot for there media - bit of a surprise but if that what it is thats what it is.

Chemica has products that work great, The PE and PP Siser work good too in all generations of the latex.

Sawgrass Virtuoso SG400 is my first choice for sublimation printing on a t-shirt. It does not release excess radiation and works faster than any others. I remarked it as an expert printer for heat transfer.
