Question on Quickprint vs. Opaque print???

Just got a Versacamm into our shop and have tried both of these rolls. Quickprint seems to weed a lot easier and does not wrinkle up as much when cutting and weeding. We are thinking of using the Q…

Thanks for the responses. It is a newer heat press and we have never had any problems with it before when using thermo-film and thermo-grip. Today I got in some Colorprint and that seemed to go on the jersey fine.

I would agree with Kevin that it might be an issue with the actual pressing of the garment. We have used stretch print and opaque solutions on many different garments including very stretchy fabrics with no issues. It is designed to work with those…
Eric,
On another thread you mentioned having problems with Stretchprint and Opaque adhering to wrestling gear. May be your problem may be with your heat press. Have you checked to make sure it's heating up to the proper temperature? I ocassionally…
I have used Qpaque on stretchy polyester/lycra blend materials that are loose fit and have not had any issues. Not sure what Stretchprint is really for. I tried using it on lycra wrestling singlets, but after a couple of uses the letters peeled off.…
Tried Quickprint and it did the same thing. I am going to look futher into the matter of the opaque and try sub-block. I will post the further adventures of this matter as I proceed.-Eric
Eric,
My understanding is that Opaque is suppose to adhere to any fabric. Is this a new roll of Opaque? It maybe a case of a bad roll of vinyl. If you have another vinyl like Quick Print you might want to try pressing that to see whether you have t…
Try sub-block - it is meant for the polyester blends and will prevent the bleeding you have with the opaque...

Eric,
The Quickprint will work fine on your 100% poly, as well as 100% cotton and blends. If your comfortable with it, by all means use it. It is a little less expensive and easier to work with. You should use Solutions Opaque on Nylons and items t…
I HAVE BEEN USEING VIVID PRINT INSTEAD OF OPAQUE FOR ALL MY STUFF. I AM LOCATED IN A SPORTS STORES SO I DO A LOT OF HOCKEY JERSEYS. THESE ARE DOMINATLY 100% POLYESTER. I HAVE BEEN DO IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY JERSEYS COME BACK. I KNO…
Eric,
I personally don't like using Opaque because of the problems with weeding. To minimize the curling, you may want to try cutting your design first, then printing. Checkout this thread for more information on this process.
