Epson s80600 and tshirt material

Are you happy with the Epson and gave back the Roland?

 

Great, that was a good story, for me anyway, about your problem with Roland and your quest for another printer.
Change is unsettling.

 

We use the same profile for Colorprint Solvent, Stahls Cadcolor, etc. that we do for all our vinyl printing. We do set up the media individually on the Epson to get the right temperatures and feed lengths, etc. But the profile we use in the RIP is the same as regular vinyl.

 

The majority of my work is print/cut garment transfers, can anyone tell me how the transfers wash after they have been heat pressed onto a garment, printed with the Epson S series? I heard that the new Rolands had fading issues after washing. It's almost time for a new printer/cutter and I am paranoid that I'll find out that the inks in a new printer don't have the bite to stay bright. Any comments on what printer has the most durable, wash proof print?

 

We have the S70670 and use print/cut for jersey lettering and for small quantity t-shirt and hoodie lettering. The inks stand up fine to washing. I have a hoodie that after 2 years is starting to show some ink wear. However under friction like a neck brace the ink will rub off fairly quickly. We do recommend washing inside out, cold, and low heat/air drying.

 

Thanks for the input peeps, just on my way to try the showroom VG2....I know I know, BEWARE. They say many improvements, I will see about that.

 

Hi, I've created a profile for Siser Colorprint PU for the 80600. Send me a PM and I'll send you the profile.
