yah... I dont get what those are exactlydefstarsteve - 5-17-2006 at 04:26 PM
yeah I had extra belts and we were testing the heat transfers on them
the reason printing them direct is a biatch is most belts are 54" long
biggest print I can make is about 18"
so after every print I would have to run each belt thru the drier and print the next section
and realigning it would be the devil
doing it heat transfer i can do about 8 belts at once in 14" sections....
press it move it over press it again
saves about 2/3 of the time and costs way less....
so there is your transfer vs. pritning lesson for the daythedog - 5-17-2006 at 04:33 PM
what if you just did 18" printing on a belt, instead of the whole belt.
would that work?XHonusWagnerX - 5-17-2006 at 04:50 PM

The only problem I see with that would be that depending on the persons waist size the print would be in a differant place all the time.BDx13 - 5-17-2006 at 04:57 PM
when we printed the fabric for george thoroughgood, we used a screen the size of a door. pain in the ass.defstarsteve - 5-17-2006 at 05:02 PM
yeah we keep things reasonable in the shop
we couls get screens and presses as big as a house, but since we are working out a garage ummm
no...
and eveyone wants the prints to go all the way around the waist....
i hate trendsthedog - 5-18-2006 at 06:01 PM
