Talking Best opaque Transfer paper for use with OEM Laser

Let me start off by saying hello to everyone here.
I am somewhat new to this board, I have been doing Dye Sublimation for a few years now and I have recently switched over to using OEM laser toner for most of my transfers. So far I am very happy with the results. I am using transfer paper from Bill over at JBL Graphics which works very well with the OKI laser printer that I have. I am interested in doing transfers with my OKI to dark shirts. Anyone have any suggestions for a paper that works well with dark fabrics.

MR8500, As an opposite to you I am not happy with the laser printed transfers. I am using a oki 3400 and duracotton paper. My transfers are not as vibrant as I would like them and there is a noticeable fade after the first wash. So I am contemplating switching to dyesub. Can you shed some lite on this for me since you have used both...... Thanks

I don't think there is an answer...some will like one paper..some will like another. It is ..or has been for me..a question of trying different papers. Also different papers will re act differently on different material. So far I have no found an opaque for darks on a laser that I like...that is why I use plastisol transfers
