I just received this email from BeautySub. I’m assuming some of you did as well. They claim they have improved the quality and are now as good as Chromaluxe. I’m really interested to see if this is true. I may place a small order with them at some point. Apparently they improved the hardness which hopefully means they won’t scratch as easily. If that’s true it will be a major improvement along with surface clarity. An issue I always had was the coating often looked like is was sprayed over something so there would be small spots on the blanks that you could see in the light. If these issues are fixed and the prices are decent with tariffs then they will be a good place to order from again

So what is the best icc profile for chromaluxe panels?

You guys have GOT to get one of these, for so many reasons. It's a pizza peel. First, no gloves needed when handling hot material. Second, much less chance of ghosting within the hot print as you're trying to remove the item from the heat press. It's aluminum, 16" x 20", & it's cheap... $28 or so from Amazon. Simply slide underneath your printed item & transport it to your cooling rack. Basically you won't disturb the sub paper that's taped to your work. Again, less chance of ghosting. (This is an Amazon stock image, but imagine your project in place of the bread. 😄) I've used one since 2019 & love it!!!

I anticipate getting a Kilo 32"x 40" press but it leads me to ask: as my Epson F570 has a max dimension of 24", will it sufficiently cover a 24" blank, or will i have a white edge problem? Rush, I believe that you wrote that you have a 24x32 Kilo. How do 24" blanks work for you? I invite any thoughts before I pull the trigger on the press please.

Is there a cheaper printer I can start with? Or should I bite the bullet and just get the epson F570? I ordered the smaller heat press to start. Thanks in advance
