Does dura cotton really work well on 50/50 tees? I am using epson 1280 with artainium inks bulk. I need to make a 50/50 lime green shirt and would like to know if I should buy some of this duracotton and what release paper I should use?
Thanks for any help,insight to this question.

DuraCotton will work on 50/50 light colors...white/ash is best. You cannot use with inkjet. It is for Color Laser Printer..I prefer Okidata. With DuraCotton, you do not need a release paper..just the DuraCotton sheet. However if you have sublimation ink, you can use that as a two step process.
