T-shirt transfer VP540

[Morph1]

Hey guys just a quick question, I have been trying to do some shirts using the roland digital heat transfer media,
I have been using a generic oracal profile to print on the heat transfer, I kind of noticed that the green color hardly saturated that media,
I mean I can see it printed but very lightly...
I am using versa works , now my question is should I double hit for better saturation or single pass with specific print profile...
any help would be appreciated.

thanks !

we usually use Rolands HTM3 profile for heat transfers on high setting. I have never noticed a discoloration when printing from vector.. printing from raster however everything seems to get dark in a hurry. We one pass ours.

To answer your question: I would say to just do a single pass. the material can only hold so much ink. If you do a 2 pass try pressing it on a white shirt then washing it as a test to make sure none of the ink falls off and discolors your shirt in the wash.

Not sure if this will help but we print on colorprint easy with TTRH profile, and works great.
