I made my decision to go with the ghost system based off of your tutorials. By far, you give the most info about the PROCESS of using ghost. Love the versatility of the ghost. Took my business to the next level. Thanks

Thanks! I've been very busy on the USCutter videos that I have let me personal KZbin page gather dust. I promise I will have some better videos on Ghost on both soon!

[@JustMe-xd2vc]

I just want to add. This process may not be for everyone. Some will not like the hand(feel) of the print as far as clothing is concerned. I wouldn't use this as my 1 and only process. But it does add some versatility to your business. Each piece of equipment you buy, learn every money making potential that equipment can offer.

I have watched your videos so many times you can come for Thanksgiving as a family member LOL I forgot to order the finishing sheet and thought I could use some coated butcher paper I had on hand that I use for stencils. Well it actually removed the entire print from the T-Shirt and it is now stuck to the paper. Would regular uncoated butcher paper work that I use for Sublimation? I will go and order the correct paper also. Thank you

[@uscuttervideos]

Yes, you can use that same butcher paper you use with sublimation. Make sure you do a small test to ensure the toner doesn't stick to it just to be safe. I can't say that every type will work but I have not personally ran into one that doesn't yet.

If you are printing everything on the same transfer ( CMYK &WH ) then you will print the CMYK first followed by the white underfilling layer. I show how the process I used to create the transfers used in this video in full detail here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIG2aqSrZbp8qLs

[@bidrozs246]

Hi I have a problem with forever papers, basically with any kind of laser transfer paper for my oki 8432 pro wt The colors are fading like in three washes Do you have any advise ?

[@uscuttervideos]

If you are using laser dark with the oki, you need to use the rip software to rasterize the prints for best results. If you are large solid prints with Forever laser dark, when you wash it you will see some fading due to the water and soap just sitting on top of the toner when washed. The small holes or lines left by the rasterization will help with that.

You will want to increase the toner density on the printer and only print one sheet at a time. I would have jamming issues if I tried to print more than sheet at a time.

[@jasondooley5845]

How do you print white and black at the same time? This is what is confusing me if you need the white backing. How does that work?

[@uscuttervideos]

I don't print them at the same time. The first print is with CMYK toners in the printer. The second print I replaced the black cartridge with a Ghost white toner cartridges and ran the print through the printer a 2nd time to place the white layer on top of the CMYK print.

[@nathanmcbee8874]

I have been trying to print but it scratches down the middle. How do you fix this issue?

[@uscuttervideos]

That depends on what type of printer you are using. In my experience using the M452, M254, and LBP622 and LBP623 it will scratch if you don't have the back of the printer closed up correctly and one of the paper guides is scratching the release liner.

[@mike-gq1gt]

can i use a monochrome laser printer to print only white?

[@uscuttervideos]

You can use a monochrome printer alongside white Forever Flex soft to create white transfers. If you are asking about putting a white toner cartridge into your monochrome printer, that will just depend on if they have made a cartridge to support your printer.

Thanks for the video! I have a question about the black lettering and borders.

I changed to a lighter color and I haven't run across that issue. I'm a little jealous of the pure black prints lol

[@uscuttervideos]

So it could be a few different things! 1. The Forever Laser dark adhesive adds a little bit of brightness to the color because of the adhesive it uses. This allows your designs to "pop" better, 2. For my CMYK toner, I only use Ghost CMYK cartridges, HP brand CMYK toner cartridges, and also Canon toner has no issues when pressed on a heat press. I've found that when I use low-cost toner replacements that they can change color when pressed so I only use those three brands when creating transfers.

[@tpo815]

USCutter Videos totally understandable with off brand, but I am using the original HP toner. I am going to print a color chart and see how it behaves. Thanks for the quick response.

[@DaBlueBonnet]

Hey, I’ve been thinking about buying an inkjet or laser printer to try and get a custom t-shirt business started. Keep looking at different printers, and kind of get overwhelmed with all the information out there. I was told an inkjet printer won’t really do well with transfer paper + dark color t-shirts. Advised to look at laser printers, but when I googled white toner laser printers the price multiples by like 10x. How much did the laser printer in this video run?

[@uscuttervideos]

If you do inkjet printing you can create designs for T shirts of all colors using the Heat transfer paper. You will just need to cut around the image by hand or using a vinyl cutter with contour cutting. It works because you are printing onto a white substrate that you will press onto the shirt, kind of like a patch. You just have to worry about issues like your ink washing out, or the transfer paper getting really wrinkled and cracked eventually. Using an inkjet printer with pigment inks will help with the color fading, and following wash instructions will help with the wrinkling.

[@uscuttervideos]

At this link we have the Canon printers bundled with white toner cartridges - uscutter.com/white-toner-printers/

[@uscuttervideos]

But if you are wanting to do this as a new business and decide a white toner printer is the way to go, I strongly suggest starting with the icolor 560. The price is higher, but it doesn't limit you with a double pass method for CMYK and White images. I will have a video out on the 560 later this week and then the Canon printers and white toner cartridges are next.

[@VideosOf2023]

Is it even possible to print on those transparent sheets with a Brother HL-4570CDW ? I don’t need the white toner actually.

[@uscuttervideos]

Brother printers are pretty solid! Make sure you select a print media like glossy or heavy glossy to slow down the media inside the printer allowing it enough time for the toner to fuse to the paper. The OEM brother CMYK toner should also not change color when pressing. Just be wary of using any 3rd party toners because some of them will change color after being pressed.

[@VideosOf2023]

USCutter Videos Do you think it‘s possible that the colors gonna change when I press them if they are from 3th party toners? But that’s the only issue that can maybe happen? Another question about something else; I have seen that there are some sellers on aliexpress selling White toner powder, imagine when I buy a empty clean black toner cartridge and I put there inside the white powder instead of black powder will it be after that the same as a white toner cartridge from White Ghost Toner? If it will could that work then with my printer; Brother HL-4570CDW?

[@uscuttervideos]

​@@VideosOf2023 Ghost, UniNet, and Oki toner have all been specially created with the transfer process in mind while other toners are not.
