3. What color
laser printer or copier can I use to make transfers?
Any laser printer or copier with fuser
oil. Not every type of paper suits every machine. Normally
QMS-Minolta, Xerox, Tektronix, Epson printers are OK. Canon,
Xerox, Minolta, Ricoh copiers are OK. Some printers have very
hot fuser pinch rolls and are no good for transfer papers.
If in doubt call us, fax us or e.mail us a message.

4. Can I use transfer
paper in a black and white laser printer?
Very few transfer papers can be used on
black and white laser printers because they have very hot
pinch rolls and the upper layer of the paper may melt. For
this type of machine we have transfers that release only the
toner and can be used on cardboard, aluminium, leatherette
book bindings, etc…

5. What makes
the best transfer, laser or inkjet?
Our new inkjet transfers resist to washing
just as laser transfers do. Although inkjet printers are inexpensive,
the cost to make a transfer, however, is much greater for
inkjet, both because of the costs of papers and inks. If you
are going to make transferring a profession we suggest laser
printers. They allow you to print on any surface and there
cost is going down.

6. Can I transfer
onto dark T.shirts?
Yes, we have a new single-step transfer
that saves time and money. With this transfer we have solved
the old double passage problem - first laying a white background
and then transferring on top of it. It's a thin transfer so
it has a very soft feel.
Available for inkjet: PR WHIJT, FE WHIJT and for laser: FC UNICO, FC WHITE, FE WHITE

7. Can I use my
inkjet printer to transfer onto mugs and tiles?
No, for printing on mugs and tiles we have
transfer for laser copiers and printers.

8. How can I transfer
onto mugs and tiles?
By using our transfers for laser
printers or copiers with a heat-press or our water decals
or hand applicable transfers (without heat-press). Items customized
with these specialities are only ornamental, they are not
suitable for washing machines or direct sunlight. Laser transfers
for heat-pressing release only toner and are ideal for ceramic
tiles and stiff materials.
For heat-pressing: FC CLESD RC, FC POLCREA
Water decals: FC DECAL, FC ME130
Hand transfer without press: FC CERAM

9. My inkjet transfers
are peeling off after washing. Where's the problem?
You are probably not using enough pressure
or using a high level printing quality (over 720 dpi). If
you are using a house-hold heat iron, place the garment on
a very firm table e press with both hands in order to put
your body's whole weight on it. Use the large section of the
iron because the point never gets hot enough. If you are using
a heat-press be sure that it's temperature is actually the
one you set. There could be up to 10°C difference. Use a digital
thermometer or paper test strips.
