it is slightly thinner and has a nice hand to it. Prints real well too.

What about durability - number of washing before color fade? I asked my IW rep and couldn't get direct answer.

I'm curious about the longevity, durability too!

I am seeing more and more in the field - so hope to test some tomorrow and post the results - I will not be in florida long enough to speak to the durability - but will take some to test.

Irv, I finally got around to printing my sample. When I used Quick Print profile - the color was a little light. When I used the  TTRH - the edges of the colors were not smooth. Could have been the machine I will tweak tomorrow. I called IW about profiles and they said Colorprint 2 should be close. I can't find the profile for the Sp300V though- The material is very thin and streches easily. Make sure you adjust your cutting force - if you do not get a complete cut the material will stretch out of shape when you try to weed it. It is not very forgiving as to going back to the original shape like Quick Print. The force of a exacto blade will stretch it if you try to complete a cut with it. The material would be good for prints over 2" with rounded corners and not a whole lot of detail like cutting letters and such. Just my 2 cents and some spare change to boot.

How does it weed compared to Quick Print.  QP weeds very easy from my experience.  The cost of this material seems pretty high to me.

Where I give QP 5 stars Eco would be 2.5. The problem I found is the material stretches easily. If you pull it off the carrier it's a pain to put back in the original shape. Quickprint is a little more forgiving.

Nice to know.  Thanks

@Butch - I am in Fla today so I will try with CP as a profile.  I checked and only have 2 profiles for the 300v.  I will check lata today when I am back in NY.  Steve might be tied up with the training in Clifton Park this weekend but when he catches up with this thread he will probably have more since he has a 300v. Thanks for the input. I am in search for thinner than QP and less price - so I am a dreamer I have been told.

The Eco would match your your wishes thinner and cheaper. It would probably be a good material for non inticate designs like I stated. Just my first impression -oh yes, I did print to the edge with no curling.

is Quick Print the best material for t-shirts?

Quickprint, eco print, and versa print are all great choices. Quick is a bit thicker than eco but is easier to weed, while versa is the low cost short term (25 washes or so) alternative for those cheap customers we all get!
