So, when you mention this printable HTV is to be used with solvent inks, do mean only the print/cut printers (like the Roland), or can those eco tank printers, using solvent ink, be used as well? thank you

thanks for the information

Super informative! I am struggling a bit to get my press dialed in. I use Richardson 112 and Yupoong 6606 mostly and a few Richardson 320 or other chino style hats. I am using 1.4 - 1.6mm genuine leather patches. Originally I was using the stahls thermo adhesive and was struggling to get the patches to stick to the hats. I could get the adhesive to adhere to the patch but not to the the hat. I switched to heat n bond ultimate and had more success but am still running into issues with adhesion here and there I’d say 1or 2 of 5. I use the standard 320 280 heat settings. Time is 45 seconds. First adhesive attachment is 5 seconds. Pressure is 5-7. When I called, Stahls actually said you were the man and may be able to help! So help! 😂 jkjk. Let me know your thoughts if possible.

Been using Neenah 3G Jet Opaque and have had real nice results with it so far. Yes it's a desktop printable but for a smaller business, just getting going, thousands for solvent printers in the beginning are not feasible. Get a good pigment ink printer and you will see pretty durable results.

For vinyl applications I usually run the lower platen on the colder side since the material is so thin and doesn't really need the extra bottom heat. 200° seems to work well for that. If you want transfers just shoot me an email through the rogue lab site with some info about what you're after 🤘🏻

Super video Lee, thanks. Your videos sealed the deal on me getting a 360. I love using HTV as it really increases the range of what can be printed. And of course minimal weeding compared to just plain cut vinyl. But, the only thing that puts me off HTV is the glossiness of the solvent ink. No matter how matte the actual HTV, the gloss of the ink makes the logo unreadable at the right angle. Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong...

Lee Stuart, If its curling up on you, it might also be your temp too high. I usually learned to run mine at around 85degrees when i print on HTV. I use SISER printable HTV with my Roland. The stahl brand might need a different temp.

It'll press patches onto truckers just fine, I've done it a lot. The strength of the bond will depend on the quality of the adhesive used by whoever made the patch. If it's well made and applied properly, the front of the hat will rip off before the patch does.

Hey lee, sorry for the non related comment, but here i go. I have been having this certain printing problem for weeks now and its driving me fucking insane and i making me seriously contemplate quitting screen printing, so ive been looking around everywhere but never got an answer. Basically when i print i am not capable of driving the ink into the tshirt, basically the print looks good on press but when you hold it up against the light, certain areas are extremely see through (you can see the individual lines/threads of the fabric). One might think that this could be cured by simply using a smaller mesh count or more pressure / angle. However, i encountred this most often with halftones, and when i do that, the gain makes the halftone look like shit. Basically the ink is not transfered to the shirt and is left in screen. I hope i have been able to express myself well enough. If you, or anyone on this planet for that matter, has got any tips, i will give them my a virtual hug. Also, keep in mind that i have tryed every-fucking-thing to make it work.. angle, pressure, of contact, different brands, plastisol, waterbased, different tshirt brand..... i am going mad Lee i remember in one video you were talking about throwing frames and i can so relate ! Screen printing has got the capability to make me mad beyond anything on this planet. I am usually quiet cool and collected, but believe it or not ! I have not too long ago *chewed* up a t shirt. Yes, chewed. Like a dog, i put it in my mouth and started to tear it apart with my teeth ! Amen.

There is no other way to do this than sublimation, and he's wanting hoodies. So this may be something that you printer can put out for me.
