may never need Alpha Double Green paper, but if you are sublimating garments it wouldn't

Graphics Programs
As
we mentioned in your tour, you will need CorelDRAW® or Adobe Photo Shop®
to print with (because of the ICC profile). If you have neither, here is an inexpensive
way to get started with a graphics program. |

Plate Cutter Metal
Cutter (or shear) - This equipment is needed only if you will be buying
12x24 sheets of white aluminum to sublimate.
