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
Hi friend this is the 3 era time I believe I washed your video traing to understand what I'm doing wrong 😭 hope to find out. I did notice you put the shine side up and I was putting it down. Maybe that's the problem. Because the paper stick so hard to the clothes that is too hard.to remove it and it get damage.
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 for the video, It is very helpful. Do you still use your 560? Have you branched out to other items like hard goods or temp tattooes? Have you tried other papers? If you have, I would love to see some videos on it. Thanks!
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.
How many washes can these shirt designs handle? Like heat transfer vinyl is very durable to about 20-30 washes, vs ink transfers I really have no idea on? Would really like to get into something like this! Or Direct To Film. Thanks!
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
Have you tried using the icolor 560 transfer on a 70% viscous bamboo/ 30% cotton shirt? I just tried on but had a slight problem during the cold peel part. Some of the image peeled off. The rest of it looked and felt great but I think the setting needs to be a little different for the fabric.
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 love your videos! Just got my printer two days ago, and your explanation about the holes really helped. I thought something was wrong with my printer.
Hi I am running into issues after just purchasing the printer and going through the basics setup. We attempt to print an image and it prints the previously printed image over and over. Have you experienced this with the ProRip program or if its the printer model?
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.
I just got a 560 and I have no idea what the settings are to set on the rip like the design you have there I blacked out the design but looks like there was no white on the back any idea thank you
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.
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
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
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.
Mines doesn’t peel off easily it’s like stuck to the shirt . I pressed part b 120 at 310 then on shirt 310 for 30 seconds and it’s super stuck to short when I pull off some of the picture tears off
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
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.
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
