Default best paper for dark t-shirts

Hello to everyone...

great work done by most of the members in here.
I ve been reading the past two days most of the threads and i have concluded that Iron all could be concidered the best transfer paper regarding light garments (please those who share a different opinion give some feedback).
However i was wondering which paper would be ideal for dark garments...
any thoughts would be appreciated...

Are there any other members from the EU? I m from Greece and although i m pretty convinced on ordering some Iron All papers, I am not sure of if I ll have any problems with the greek customs. Has anyone any similar experience ?

thank you!!

If you are doing your own designs then you have to use opaque paper. I use blue grid from Coastal and New Millford. If you get any sizable orders i would use plastisol transfer made for you. Lou

Default Re: best paper for dark t-shirts

thanks lou...still trying to figure out what to do...
mainly we print customer's photographs on white t-shirts,passing through customers (family business based on a tourist location),very low cost on inks and papers, so far no probs during printouts, pretty satisfied with the results doing that so far. I am more interested now doing something which will be based more on the quality of the transfers, since i want to have repeated customers. That s why I m searching for new papers to try now. My only drawback is that i m in greece and i know that parcels from the us are under taxation in customs...and i dont really wish to be involved in such troubles...i m searching for a european supplier at the moment

thank u anyway
