Hi there, a lot of people called me for a scanner/video system with editing software that produces high quality printouts for T-shirts (big sizes). The input is easy: Get an Epson or Sharp colour scanner or a video camera and a digitizer hooked to an AMIGA. The editing is easy as well: Just take Art Department Professional. The output is the problem: which printer should I suggest? A thermotransfer or an inkjet or an thermosublimation printer? Which printer from which manufacturer? What density does the printer produce? AND which colours should I use for printing on T-Shirts (waterproof?). The last point is easy as well: just take a hot and plane metall and press the printout on the T-Shirt. Anybody with a solution? I don't know which printers to take for which colours etc.???? Thanx for your HELP! -Mike -- Michael Metz CompuStore GmbH Fritz-Reuter-Str.6; D-6000 Frankfurt 1 Tel: +49 (0)-69 56 73 99 FAX: +49 (0)-69 5 60 17 84 CompuServe: 71001,210 ETG: 016 path: ...(uunet|pyramid|rutgers)cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!mimetz!mimetz

And there is a company that makes a special paper that you use regular printing on and THEN iron it to the shirt. My favorite (have not used it but seen end product) is an item that is found at most Craft stores. Its like a white glue that you smear onto the item you want to transfer; i.e. Photos, Laser printouts... and then lay this glue-ey item onto the shirt and let dry for 24 hours. Then the paper is pealed/rubbed away and you have a clean, clear transfer with bright colors and good detail. >Thanx for your HELP! > >-Mike >-- >Michael Metz >CompuStore GmbH Fritz-Reuter-Str.6; D-6000 Frankfurt 1 >Tel: +49 (0)-69 56 73 99 FAX: +49 (0)-69 5 60 17 84 >CompuServe: 71001,210 ETG: 016 >path: ...(uunet|pyramid|rutgers)cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!mimetz!mimetz -- guy@nsco.network.com // Guy Dandrea \\ // Network Systems Corp., Mpls.
