So helpful!! Thank you so much
You are very welcome! We are glad it was helpful!
Nice video looking forward for another one on the jet pro soft stretch
Thanks!! We will see what we can do!
Thanks for sharing !
Hi! Thanks for watching!
thank you very much
Really enjoyed watching ure videos there very informative with that being said im starting a t shirt business and i know i have to get a pigment printer can you please let me know atleast 3 AFFORDABLE pigment printers i can look at to purchase to start my business cause i already have my 3g opaque heat transfer papers and so.
Thank you for your response.
Thanks
I have an EPSON L1110. When I print from photoshop the black turns brown after the heat press. Is there a way to make the ink more black?
I was wondering if i am able to transfer 3g jet opaque onto 80cotton/20polyester fabric?
For durability, it is best to transfer to 100% cotton. 3G Jet Opaque will transfer to a 80/20, but, may not hold up as well.
Can i still print a white background image like yours without white ink in my printer? Thanks for the video!
Hi Hung, the background will be white, or anywhere you do not put your design your transfer will be white, as this is an inkjet paper with a white sheet background formulation. White ink is not apart of this process, only CMYK. If you do not wish to have a white background/border, you will need to trim your image, or send through your vinyl cutter.
What side of the heat transfer paper needs to be peeled off and removed before ironing on the shirt? The soft stretch side or the rough paper side?
Hi Jazmin! For the 3G paper, you will remove the film - printable side (soft side), from the backing - grid side, you will then place the printable side face up on your garment, cover with a silicone sheet, and press.
hello I have a great question I am new to this and I bought that paper and the first time everything went perfect, but now they stick to the paper that I put on the image to protect it what am I doing wrong? or need only silicone paper. Please clarify my doubt. Thank you
Hello! Make sure that the paper you are working with does not have any coating. We at Coastal, do primarily work with the silicone sheets to protect our image, and to repress.
When I heat press the 3g jet opaque on my dark hoodie with normal pressure. The design appears with black dots on it especially if the design has a white colour. I'm using a 50 50 hoodie garment.
Please let me know why am I seeing these black dusts on my design every time I press.
Hello! With the blend, it could be too much heat. Try reducing the heat by 20 degrees.
Please can u advise what type of printers did u used for 3g jet opeque paper
Hello! We have used the Epson C88, Epson 1430 and Epson WF 2770 with success. We used all models listed with pigment based ink.
If I am printing a decal that does not require pigment ink, can I use any printer?
Hello! We would love to hear more about the type of material you are working with. Most processes require either a special printer, or ink. If you would like please email, or call, so we can discuss and assist you further. You can email support@coastalbusiness.com, or call 1-800-562-7760, option 3 for technical support. Thank you!
please am using hp laserjet 700 mfp775, and I don't know the exact paper size to select when printing on Opaque heat transfer paper, I need directions
I have a big question, I have already a jetprinter mashine. But I don't know what ink do I have to use?????
any ink will do... right?
Hey does it have to be a freshly printed image? Or can you print on transfer paper and then press it to a shirt later on?
You can print in advance, just keep them in a climate controlled area. Thanks!!!
@@CoastalBusinessSup thank you!
hye..may I ask your advise...I wonder..why the color become darker when heat press on black shirt
Hello! If your colors start to shift once pressed, we would recommend to adjust your press settings. For assistance, please reach out to our Technical Support team at 1-800-562-7760, option 3.
hello, so the sublimation ink i got for my epson 7710 won't work with 3g opaque?
Hello! No, you will want to use a pigment based ink with the 3G Jet Opaque.
@@CoastalBusinessSup okay and what are some affordable pigment based printers and do all the inks have to be pigment based ink or jus the black ink??
Is pigment based ink, sublimation ink??
Can i use sublimation ink? Thanks
Hello! With inkjet heat transfer paper, you will need to use pigment based ink. Sublimation ink will not adhere properly to the formula of the transfer paper.
When I am done with the transfer, it feels wrinkled and not smooth in the shirt. I dont know what I am doing wrong. Could it be my stamping machine? Or can be the teflon shit transfering the texture to the vinyl?
Thanks for the question. The transfer can have a vinyl feel to them. We recommend trimming around your image to eliminate some of the transfer. Thanks!
What software should I use to put together the designs I want to print? I plan on buying images and backgrounds from Etsy and using the technique you used in the video. Also what other printers could I use?
Hello! At Coastal, we use Adobe programs. In particular, with this video, we used Photoshop. We have tested with Epson models and pigment based ink. Other inkjet models should work just fine, just make sure that your ink is all pigment based. Thank you!
Can this work on deskjet printer?
Hello! We have not tested with a deskjet printer. We would advise to purchase a sample pack to test.
That printer use a regular ink, sublimation ink Drw ink ???????
how do I know if I am using pigment based ink
It will say on your package if it is dye or pigment based ink
Great video! What transfer paper you recommend for 95% cotton 5% spandex clothes? Thank you!
Great question! Spandex can occasionally cause transferring issues. A durable transfer paper to try would be our JetDark - Jet Opaque II paper. We would recommend starting with a sample pack here: www.coastalbusiness.com/jet-dark-heat-transfer-paper-for-inkjet-printers-sample-pack-85-x-11-5-sheets-mjdsamp-s.html . Thank you!
So you cant use sublimation ink on any paper to achieve the ability to press on dark shirts?
Is pigment ink regular ink?
Hi TJ! No, you cannot use Sublimation ink and paper to print directly to dark's. You will need a material, such as EasySubli that will lay on the surface of the garment. No, Pigment based is different from a standard ink.
I am soo confused 😔 I'm getting into the heat press industry and the more videos i watch the more confused i get 🥺. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer.
There are a lot of different processes for transferring. We would love to speak with you to get you the correct process for your needs. Please reach out to us at 1-800-562-7760. We are available Monday-Friday 8-7cst.
I have a question. I am using the 3G jet opaque for an ink printer. When I wash it only once, the transfer paper gets a wrinkle. I don't know if I am doing something wrong. Any advice, I will appreciate it.
Hello! What type of pressure are you using in your transfer? Are you following washing guidelines?
@@CoastalBusinessSup hi great im using the HP 2375 with my 3G even so i print logos on on polyester on dark fabric but then wen i wash the close it faded some little.
Does printing on this paper go laundry? And are there washing tips so the print doesn't go away
Hello! This paper has a durability of around 20-25 washes when pressed properly. We recommend washing inside out, with cold water, and no harsh detergents. To get the most life out of the garment we recommend hang drying, otherwise you can dry on low.
What kind of finish does this type of transfer paper give? I've experienced two types, one that is soft and flexible like a shop bought tee shirt, and another that is more rigid and inflexible, like a sheet of thin plastic attached to the shirt. Can you advise please? Cool video.
Hello! If you send your design through Forever transferRIP, you will experience a more soft, flexible feel due to the rasterization process. Thank you!
Can you recommend some ink?
Hello! We highly recommend the use of pigment based ink, with heat transfer paper transfers.
What kind of printer that I need
Inkjet printer
Can I use the 3G for black clothes is white ones??
Please, I need to know, give me all the information about it, ty 😓
3G Jet Opaque can be printed on black and colored cotton fabrics
Ald Cque you can use it on white, trust me. I use it for white and for colored and it works just fine. Just not the other way around, you wouldn’t want to use a HTP made for white on colored.
Hello! We do recommend for dark colored fabrics only, as you get the most vibrant transfer out of the paper. However, you can use the paper on white. We also recommend on 100% cotton only. Thank you!
Ald Cque, are you color blind??
My printable iron on curls up so much when trying to lay it down on my heatpress. What can I do about this? I can't use heat tape with dark transfer paper because the image is upwards right?
Hello! If you have a clamshell press, you will need to place as soon as possible onto the garment and cover with a silicone sheet. If you have a swing away press, you will have a bit more time to get the transfer paper set on the garment since the heat is not directly hitting the paper.
I think you can use heat resistant tape to hold down your vinyl until after it's pressed onto the shirt. just use the tape to hold down the corners, lay the protective sheet over it, and pressed.
Hello! If you have issues with the vinyl carrier sticking to the garment, you can use Thermal Tape, on the vinyl carrier only to hold the carrier, and vinyl.
Can it only done on dark fabrics, and if i want to do it on lighter fabrics what kind of paper do i have to use.is the 3g jet opaque a regular heat transfer paper?
Hi there, 3G Jet Opaque can be used for both light and dark fabrics and only 100% cotton.
With that paper do I have to use an specific ink.????
Hi Rosa, it works best with a regular pigment-based ink. This is commonly found in many Epson inkjet printers but also in some other brands. If you shoot us the model # of your printer, we can help you find out what kind of ink it has.
@@CoastalBusinessSup I have an epson 7710. What ink am I suppose to use?
@@CoastalBusinessSup what about my cannon: pixama MG2522??? Can i use that printer
is it sublimtion ink or pigment?
Hello! Pigment based ink.
Can I use a Teflon sheet instead of silicone?
Hello! It is not recommended to use a Teflon sheet. Teflon absorbs too much heat, which then leads to faulty and inconsistent results.
Can i use parchment paper instead of silicone
What printer do you recommend?
3G Jet Opaque works best with pigment-based inkjet printers such as the Epson C88 (in this video), the Epson Workforce 7710, or the Epson 3880. We generally recommend avoiding HP, Brother, and Dell printers as they do not work well with this paper. Outside of that, just ensure your printer uses pigment ink (versus dye or thermal ink).
@@CoastalBusinessSup I have a HP Deskjet 3722. How do I know if it's pigment ink?
@@CoastalBusinessSup Can you use sublimation ink? Or no?
@@deirdreholcombe8738 Hey there, your printer uses dye-based ink, which is not particularly suited to be used with heat transfer paper. We typically recommend Epson printers for heat transfer paper, but you still need to check with each model.
@@deirdreholcombe8738 Unfortunately, with this paper, you cannot use sublimation ink - nor would your printer accept sublimation ink.
Are you using sublimation ink or regular ink?
Hi!
We are using pigment ink with a inkjet printer.
Thanks!
@@CoastalBusinessSup and do both color in the printer have to be pigment based meaning the color ink and the black ink??
I have used this paper a few times and the final product feels thich and hard, not flexible at all. Is there something I can do to avoid this or is this the way the product is supposed to feel?
Hi Zac, do you repress after transferring to your garment? Do you lightly stretch the transfer after pressing? Opaque papers do tend to have a thicker hand to them, but, the transfer should be slightly flexible.
Can i use parchment paper instead of silicone sheet?
Good Morning!
Yes, you can use parchment paper - just not WAX paper!
Thanks
Maradith
Thank you for the response. I appreciate it😊
No problem! Have a great weekend
Can I used butcher paper ?
What type of ink should we use, I couldn't understand what you said
Hey there, we recommend pigment-based ink. You'll find this primarily in Epson printers, but there are other brands that carry pigment ink as well. You want to avoid dye-based ink, which washes out.
My print is coming out blurry... Any suggestions on print settings to stop this from happening
Hi Dellway, we would recommend a plain, or matte setting at first to test with.
@@CoastalBusinessSup will try. Thanks
Why can't I use this in HP envy printer?
We have actually never tested the HP Envy printer. You are welcome to get a sample pack and see if you get the desired results.
Hello. What exactly did you mean by you don't want to mirror your image?
Hey there, for certain transfer papers (mainly for light garments) like JET-PRO Soft Stretch, you will reverse your image when printing so that when you transfer it on, it will be facing the correct way. With this paper, there's no need to reverse your image and you just print it normally.
@@CoastalBusinessSup Gotcha! Thank you very much.
Sorry. One more question. What exactly is considered light garments vs dark? Like would red be light or dark? Is it about the colour or the tone of the colour? Or am I thinking to hard about it, and it's not that big a deal? Do I just eye ball it and it'll be fine either way?
Hello! Light would be White, light Grey, or pastel colors. Dark would be considered Red, Blues, Orange, Black, etc. Thank you!
What about temp for easy press
Venessa, we do not test with the Cricut Easy Press, but, in most cases you use the same temperature.
how is it after washing?
Confused
I been researching for awhile it always feels like paper and crinkled it's noisy . Is there anything to ne applied to make softer
Hi I did everything as it shows here in a green t-shirt but the white background it's greenish color no white, what I did wrong?
Hi! What type of material are you pressing on?
@@CoastalBusinessSup cotton
Back off on the heat and pressure a little bit
@@CoastalBusinessSup Thank you!
My image keep sticking to the silicone paper. Can anyone tell me how to fix that?
Samantha, what are your press settings? What is the brand of silicone paper?
Can I use any heat press machine??
Hello! Most commercial heat press machines are great for this process because they offer consistent heat, and pressure.
@@CoastalBusinessSup Thank you! Also can I use any Epson printer?
Jocelyn, most Epson inkjet printers we have found are successful with inkjet heat transfer paper, when using pigment based ink.
@@CoastalBusinessSup Thank you so much! I'm new to this so just wanted to make sure before buying.
Of course! Please let us know if we can assist further.
What is the name and price of the machine with which you printed the t-shirt?
Hi! We recommend the Epson Workforce (pigment ink) printers which can very in price.
We printed it on the Epson Workforce printer and used the Hotronix Fusion IQ heat press to transfer the 3g Opaque print onto the cotton t-shirt.
How many washes it can withstand
Hello! Usually around 25 washes if you are following proper washing guidelines.
How many washes if we use pigment ink?
We only recommend pigment based ink, and the amount would still be the same - 25 washes.
Which ink can give 35+ washes?
Pigment based ink is the only ink that we would recommend.
Hi! What means 3g?
Hello! 3G Jet Opaque is an inkjet paper for heat transfer onto cotton fabrics. Mainly used for dark colored fabrics, but, you can use on light colors as well.
I can't separate the layers. There only appears to be one sheet! I'm even using a razor blade. What am I doing wrong?!
Hello! Peeling the transfer from the backing can occasionally be difficult to remove, especially if you have not cut around the design. If we cannot get one corner to peel up, normally we try from another. Our trick is to use a weeding tool in the corner, normally the top sheet will lift slightly allowing for the peel.
Ahh so the opaque sheets have a white background I get it now. You would have to cut around the circle if you wanted the image cropped on the black t-shirt, as opposed to a white t-shirt with softstretch where you don't have to weed, yea?
Hello! Yes, that is correct. You would want to trim as close as possible, or contour cut with your vinyl cutter.
@@CoastalBusinessSup you're nice 👍🏼thanks
Is that regular wax paper from Walmart ?
Hi, thanks for checking in with us. That is actually Silicone sheets. Here is the link: www.coastalbusiness.com/silicone-treated-cover-sheets-for-heat-transfer-and-sublimation-printing-silicone-g.html
It's often times difficult to peel
I am sorry you are having difficulty. WE generally use a weeding tool or craft night to aid in peeling.
Thanks!
My paper keeps coming off my shirt, I don’t know what to do.
Same here
What paper are you using?? Hopefully not normal printing paper
Ameer Latif I’m using 3G Jet Opaque, I’m printing full images and the corners keeps coming peeling.
Ahhh ok.. i had that same issue, your not letting the image cool enough and also get a cloth, an old tshirt even and rub quite hard on the paper while it is cooling, before peeling the paper off..
@@aquakisses3742 exactly same here 10 shirts went to waste
I tried using this with polyester and it came out dark.
Hi Eli! The 3G Jet opaque paper is meant for 100% cotton. The dye from the polyester shirt more than likely bled through. We would recommend the Jet Opaque II for Polyester.
You're the first one that say that the paper have to be pilled before put it on the t-shirt...
Hi! Yes and you can find the written directions here: www.coastalbusiness.com/3g-jet-opaque-inkjet-heat-transfer-paper-sheets.html.
I wasted my money with this 3G jet opaque because I cant peel it without some of the peel left on the transfer paper after I cut the image and letter out to avoid a big square box print on my shit like the one she just pressed
Are you doing a contour cut? With a contour cut, you can either use a mask to pick-up the image or you can peel the entire image from the backing of the paper and then apply to your garment.
That happened to me too, make me loosing money. I don't know wish mask have to use.
But you printed the whole sheet? lol
Yes, we wanted to show how it would look if you do not decide to trim it. Of course, you can either cut your design with scissors or put it through a cutting plotter.
Beware of fake Bear, you are a true genius
Why do y’all say “place appropriately on the shirt?” Wth is appropriate? Face up/or down like come on!
All inkjet dark t-shirts transfers should be removed from the carrier sheet after printing and placed image side up. Make sure to cover with a silicone sheet before pressing! Thanks.
