In this video I try out the Ghost White Toner System using a HP Colour Laser Jet Pro M252dw Printer. Its similar to the Forever Transfer papers using an A + B Paper to create the full colour and white transfers for dark garments and other media. I did have issues as shown in the video but i'm sure the suppliers will hopefully answer the questions to the problems I experienced. I wanted this to be a real life test as a beginner might experience so I turned down their offer for training. This is the package I was testing out www.ghost-white-toner.com/sho...

Stumbled across you video researching an HP printer to make transparent water slide decals. Not what I was looking for and only watched a few minutes but, I was impressed that you've figured out how to use Photoshop to fit you needs and you just seem like a really nice person. Thought I'd leave you a little pro tip that might help you out. Short cut to select your artwork when it's on a transparent background...hold down on the Control button (on a PC) and with your mouse, click on the layer you want to select. Then, click on "Select" in the top menu, then scroll down to "Modify", then scroll over to "Contract"...there you can enter in a pixel measurement to reduce your edge more accurately (enlarge will increase the selection if you want an outline). The way you currently do it softens the selection, the way I explained will be much more precise (if you need it to be) Anyway, hope it helps you or someone else. :~)

Under select, there should be an option to expand or contract the selection. Not sure where in your version of PS but it should be in there. Once you find it you can select your black layer and contract by 1-3 pixels. The big benefit is the contraction is done by pixel and won't round off corners or smooth the edges like your smoothing process.

To reduce the black layer after refining the outline selection at 6:50 simply invert the selection and then delete the excess. You were only a few clicks aways to doing that in the video. You will also get cleaner edges when selecting around images by making sure that anti-alias and contiguous are selected then increase the tolerance value. This should help with the fuzzy edges that are being printed.

Hi Martin! Thanks so much for the video. I love your realistic testing. Not only is this HP system cheaper than the OKI system, this company also makes sublimation toners for the same printer that can be swapped back and forth seamlessly. I'm surprised they didn't give you those cartridges for a demo since you also sublimate mugs. I would love to see a demo from you for that.With their sublimation toners. you don't even need sublimation paper, you just use regular copy paper. If the sublimation system tests well, (durability, etc.), that would be an improvement over using somewhat costly sublimation ink systems and make this entire system a win-win.

Hi Martin. Thank you very much for sharing this helpful information - especially in the second part (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iap2oJWo2LC5loE.html) where you show us the five years' worth of prints (with no peeling!). That was very informative and helpful. Thanks again, mate! As I mentioned below that video, there's just one little (yet very important) point in these two videos that needs rectification in order to further enhance the success of us all: @Nesto P.'s comment here (to increase the 'threshold' of Photoshop's magic wand tool) is correct and many people have upvoted it. The image problems (jagged edges and related mess / 'splattering effect' or 'halo effect' as you say) were created before printing. They were caused by a combination of low-quality-JPEG compression artefacts in the Lion Bar image from the internet, followed by incomplete selection of the 'white' surrounds [not all of the pixels were exactly 100% (FFFFFF) white] by the magic wand tool in Photoshop. In Photoshop, so-called 'marching ants' appear around pixels that are 'at least 50% selected'. Therefore, when using the magic wand tool (or 'Select Colour Range..' or similar), the 'marching ants' do not guarantee that all of their contained pixels are '100% selected'. Likewise, nor does an absence of marching ants guarantee that those pixels are '0% selected'. Unluckily, not all pixels in the 'white' surrounds of the Lion Bar image were 100% selected when 'delete' was pressed. Unfortunately, when using the magic wand tool, or selection by colour range, 'marching ants' cannot be relied upon. SOLUTIONS: THE BEST SOLUTION: A) Use a vector image. If that is not possible: B) Use an image that was never combined with a background colour and still has completely transparent surrounds; or C) Use an image without image-compression/file-compression artefacts. D) If the only option is a JPEG with compression artefacts, here are the SOLUTIONS: To SEE the problem: - On your computer monitor: Put your eyes near the bottom of your computer screen and look up at it from an angle. On an LCD screen, this often reveals (to our eyes) the dirty compression artefacts hidden in compressed white backgrounds and around image outlines. - In your Photoshop selection (made with the magic wand tool or similar): Option 1 (BEFORE you press 'delete'): If you've used the magic wand tool, save your selection, deselect it, then view that new 'alpha channel' (AKA 'saved selection') that you have just created (viewed in isolation, in greyscale). You will then clearly see any jagged outlines or other partially selected pixels that were hard to see against the chequered backdrop. Option 2 (if you ALREADY pressed 'delete'): Make a new layer and fill it with a colour. Put it below your newly 'deep-etched'(i.e. 'digitally weeded' / 'transparent-surrounded') image. Any jagged outlines or other partially selected pixels that were hard to see against the chequered backdrop will now be much more easily visible. To FIX the problem: If Option 1 (above) was used: Then delete the channel and fix your selection by (at least) increasing the 'threshold' of your magic wand before selecting; OR: Don't delete the channel and instead adjust the brightness & contrast OF THE CHANNEL to 'crisp up' the saved selection, then load that selection and proceed with deleting the surrounds. If Option 2 (above) was used: If mess is present, go back in your 'history' prior to deletion and fix your selection; OR (not recommended): 'Load Selection...'> '[That] Layer Transparency'> 'OK', then 'Save Selection'> 'OK' and proceed as with Option 1 (above). I know you're busy, but if you find time, please reshoot these two videos, address the small misunderstanding (we're all learning together) and perhaps use a crisp vector image from Illustrator next time (just draw a few coloured rectangles or something), [...and always remember to insert the white toner cartridge BEFORE pressing 'print'. Ha ha. 😉 Cheers, brother.] Thanks again for showing us the procedures, results and longevity after washing - it's really valuable information for us all to see. Keep up the great work, Martin! 👍

@neilljackson6309 4 жыл бұрын

There are some good comments below on the dodgey white edge you found, these are common with JPG images. These were just unselected areas, because they were not the exact white you clicked so not selected when you used the Magic Wand tool (as in a comment below you can reset the wand's tollerence to a higher number or retouch the Alpha refered to later in here). As a check, if you zoom in after selecting you will see running ants around the stray pixels too. "Inverse select" and use the "eraser" taking care not to erase any image you want to keep. You might also want to increase your image dpi as 300 pixels per inch is quite low these days (this should help when creating your "Black layers" "reduction" as there are more pixels for PhotoShop to work with so more accurate. Select as you you did, after removing stray pixels, with the Magic Wand. Invert and reduce the area (as you did in your video) then use "Select > Save selection". Next to the word "Layers" (above the layers are "tabs") select the "Channels" tab (can be hard to see). This will have saved your selection on an "alpha" layer. Select the "Eye" on the Alpha channel so you can see the black & White image (will show as a transparent Red at this point) then turn off the RGB or CMYK (the eye) depending on your image type (The Alpha will now be black and white). If you see any white dots on the Alpha (dogy areas) colour them black in the Alpha channel (they do show up quite well on an Alpha). Press [Ctrl]+[a] or use "Select all" from the menu and copy [Ctrl]+[c] the Black & Whiter Alpha channel. Then turn on the RGB or CMYK eye so you can see your image again and turn off the eye for the Alpha channel. P.S. If the area, in the Alpha Channel, you want black is white return to layers "Select > Load Selection" and pick the Alpha, invert and re-save. Back to the layers tab and paste the black image on a new layer. HTH.

Since I'm not proficient in Ps. I found what worked for me in 'choking' in the white toner layer was to work in Silhouette Studio BE and add internal offset, delete the outer cut line, increase transparency then overlay it on the color layer to visually see how much I needed to adjust the offset. I was just watching recent videos posted by PhotoZen which showed his process for choking in Ps with success results and will be trying his process.

It’s my understanding that Ghost White makes the toner and Forever makes the transfer sheets. Ghost just rebrands the sheets.

Just before you create a duplicate layer • Hover mouse over the mini image to the left of the Layer 1 text • Right-click, and choose SELECT PIXELS • From the SELECT menu at the top Choose MODIFY---CONTRACT and enter 3 or 4 pixels. (This will shrink selection) • Create New Layer (LAYER - NEW) • Fill the selection that should still have marching ants with Black (EDIT - FILL- CONTENTS - BLACK) Looking forward to seeing a review of wash tests on Ghost and Forever Flex systems. At the moment I use your recommended brand of transfer paper, I love the results on the white. But need a better solution than the opaque version of it for darks (not too keen on that). Keep up the great work.

The "splatter" marks are JPEG artifacts around the edge. Increase the threshold of the magic wand tool then hit delete to remove the background. Add a new layer beneath the image and fill it with prostitute pink. If you zoom right in you'll see if there are any stray pixels left around the edges. Use the eraser to get shot of them. Delete the pink layer.

@avisionatelier9903 5 жыл бұрын

For large orders, it is always best to get stuff screen printed in my opinion but anything up to about 100 t shirts, this would be fine once you get a production line going. It suits the small business fine in my opinion.

Can you tell me wat kind of paper you use? Above the transfer paper? Is that somekind of baking sheet?

There is another tutorial for the Ghost White Toner where they use only "Parchment Paper" he explained that Teflon doesn't allow enough heat to get thru which is what Martin seems to have experienced.

Did you know that everytime you change the paper type the laser printer will heat up differently, from a paper to a film. Once you get it all dialed in, it works great.

I had the same "static" problem when white printing. I just purchased the ghost white toner, already tried it out 5 times with the same result. I did a test with construction paper to see just the layer of my image which I'm trying to white print with perfect results. I think, it may be something to do with the forever laser dark paper that I'm trying to use. If you have an answer to this problem, let me know.
