AnsonMyPants Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I have seen people post videos using black adhesive powder and also white, but without any explanation.. What are the differences in the two powders. Also, what are the differences with fine, medium and course powder. Texture? Thickness of media?

WDeBlase Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I can't understand the video because i don't speak the language. I would love to know the differences in all the powders too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnson4 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Fine, course, medium. the finer the grain, the more powdery, and the more it sticks to dampness, like the edge. thicker the powder, the heavier the adhesive layer( thicker transfer), but doesn’t stick to edge dampness. I haven’t had any issues with migration, those things usually only occur over 300-320 degrees for extended periods. The pressing time on these wouldn’t cause that issue, or haven’t in my case.

uhim Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Johnson4 have you tried reusing the film and how many times? Edited December 23, 2020 by uhim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliotiscool Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Supposedly it has "anti dye migration" but it sounds a little gimmicky to me because I only run into migration issues when I haven't properly cured my print. Mixing black powder on a white back doesn't make sense to me because you would possibly need to use more white ink to offset it in comparison to the white powder.

Any part of the print that runs over a previously used portion just runs like water on glass. Whatever coating is in the paper really does hold the ink.

I haven’t run into migration at all. I’m actually pretty sure they sell this same powder as Sublimation on cotton too.

Ikegwegbe Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Does the fine powder make the hand feel softer compared to medium or coarse powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more course the powder, the less it will stick here. Medium was recommended by Andy for general purpose use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuipersh Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Does anyone have problems with the medium powder not brushing off the design before cure? As in its sticking to the transfer film and not just around the ink and this causes it to show up on dark colored shirts or anything other than white I should say with the white medium powder.

I found that if i let the image dry for 15 min, then powder, i didn't get that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
