Uninet iColor 560 Beginners Tutorial  

Brooke- I'm so glad it was helpful!!! Thanks for letting me know. I have felt like I'm just wandering around blindly with this machine and when I figure stuff out I want to share it. Blessings!! Kelly

Definitely put the dull side down when loading through the printer. The dull side is the print side. Be sure you don't press for too long. And use a steady fairly quick pull when peeling.

Thanks so much for letting me know! I try to cover everything I can think of! Blessings- Kelly

That's amazing!! I'm so glad I was able to help.

I do still have it. I don't use it very often and have only used it on shirts. If I'm doing hard surfaces I just do sublimation. Sorry.

@@UnderATexasSky No worries.

Andria- Uninet says that cartridges should yield 7,000 pages. I've made dozens of transfers and the needle has barely moved. It's a good thing because toner is really expensive. A set of all cartridges is around $1,000- YIKES. That's why I do sublimation as often as I can instead. But if someone wants a black tee- this is the best option I think.

You should always use parchment paper when pressing- not butcher paper or regular blow out paper. The coating helps it to not stick.

They say 35 or so washes. I think it depends on how large the image is. I would always wash in cold and hang to dry.

@@UnderATexasSky Thank you so much!!

I'm happy to hear it was helpful. It can be frustrating. Blessings- Kelly

Tangie- I'm so glad my tutorial was helpful! It's a really cool printer but can be so confusing even after using it for a while. Thanks for letting me know you found the video useful. Blessings, Kelly

It’s called the white toner master class by uninet.

I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks so much for letting me know. Blessings- Kelly

I upload and size my images in Canva. You can remove your background there as well. Then download it with a transparent background just to be sure.

I've not tried using that blend. It's possible that the it needed a little more time on the press and not the fault of the fabric. It's pretty temperamental it seems. If I notice the image is peeling up, I'll try pressing it for a few more seconds. But it's not a foolproof method sadly.

I'm so glad you find my videos helpful!! Thanks for stopping by to let me know. Blessings!

I've not experienced that. Are you seeing the image you want to print in the print preview window?

Maybe take the file and upload it into Canva and try to resize it there. Then download a transparent copy and try to print it from the pro-rip software. I'm not sure how you can sharpen an image. That's a little above my pay grade.

Glad it was helpful! Blessings- Kelly

Sorry it took so long to reply. It's very confusing. I know. Be sure when you click on "Job" tab in the display window- then "Color Adjust" you don't have "enable ink removal" clicked. Next click the "Jobs" tab at the top then "Production Plugins" choose KnockMeBlackOut- in the bottom window be sure you show the color of the the shirt you're doing for the background. You'll see how it will look on that color shirt. Hope this helps.

You're so sweet! Glad I could help! Follow me on TikTok at underatexassky- I do tutorials all the time. Blessings! Kelly

Be sure you preheat your heat press before pressing the adhesive sheet to your image. Just close your press for about two minutes. Also, be sure to rub the image before peeling. Take a cloth and rub around for a a few seconds. And I've found that after pressing the adhesive sheet, turn it over and peel the transfer sheet from the adhesive sheet. It's more flexible and is less likely to "skip" when peeling. Hope this helps!! Blessings- Kelly

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much!

It's very intimidating. And frustrating until you kind of get a feel for it. Follow me on TikTok at underatexassky. I do lots of tutorials there. Just relax and know you're gonna waste a lot of supplies at first but it gets easier. Blessings! Kelly

I'm not sure what could be happening. When you click on "Jobs" do you have "enable ink removal" checked? This uses less ink by removing it from tiny holes in the image. That's the only thing I could think of that could cause a vibrancy issue. Hope this helps. Blessings- Kelly

Glad it was helpful!

Sorry it took so long to reply! I tried stacking in the tray but it seemed to scratch the print side a little and I was paranoid about it so I went back to hand loading.

It’s really hard to get the adhesive residue off. I just try to gently rub with a rough cloth. It’s important to trim around your image before pressing.

I'm not sure I understand. The white toner printer I use is the Uninet iColor 560. The film is standard paper that is used with this printer.

I have not tried to press on glass or acrylic. I did put it on neoprene koozies and it worked fine.

Yes. I'm using the white toner overprint set up. My white is the first cartridge in the front.

I think it could be a settings issue. Be sure your heat press is pressing at the heat that's it's reading. It's possible the press is heating unevenly also. This is kind of delicate stuff and small problems can ruin it. If you keep having a problem, I'd contact the Uninet. Good luch! Blessings- Kelly

I have the same problem you describe. I already waste a lot of transfer paper 😭. Have you find a solution yet ? Any help I appreciate 🙏

This printer will actually print using sublimation ink but I use it specifically to create heat transfers. You'd need to change the ink to sublimation ink to use it for sublimation. I have a Sawgrass SG1000 to print sublimation images.

Joseph- Sorry it took so long to reply! I press on medium pressure- about a 5 on my Hotronix Auto Clam.

Brenda- Actually not in my experience. Now, I don't have a t-shirt business per say. I do make tees for customers but it's not my main merchandise. I've made probably 100 or more transfers and have never had any issues with the printer. There is a bit of trial and error learning to use it but it's been trouble free for me. Blessings- Kelly

@@UnderATexasSky thank you for your response. I just can't get past the cost of the consumables. It's all so pricey :(
