We sell both sublimation tees and digital image tees(paper through a photo copier)
We market the images from the photo copier as a Hen/stag night product. Only suitable for short term use. We have had very limited sucsess with this methoid. our washing tests have shown that they servive only a few washes. We have tried all manufactures of paper, and followed the instructions to the letter. I have yet to be convinced that this methoid has any use long term. If anyone on this board uses this methoid, and says it works, I would be gladly take a finished sample of them to wash @ home to see is if the product last more than 2 washes.
But saying that, we tell this to the customer, we charge £8 a tee shirt, and they are happy to pay this, as we market it as a joke/1 off wear tee.
We also use the sub tees, we tell the customer how the ink actualy penitrates the fibres of the tee, and the end result we last. We charge and extra £4 on top of the paper methoid, due to the tee costing an extra £2, and the time involved in scanning the image, and then printing it out on the epsom 890. ( you have to use a special sublimatiopn tee, these can be obtained from xpress or knovachrome )
