Default Printing for 100% Cotton

Hi guys!

If I want to use a 100% cotton shirt - what should be my best option? Dye sub, pigment ink, Laser printer + duracotton98? I'm a completely lost...

Hi Ran, I also answered this in your other post.

Heat transfer will be the only one out of the two (dye sub vs heat transfer) that will work on 100% cotton.

There are many types of heat transfers you can use though (inkjet or laster printed transfers), vinyl transfers, screen printed (plastisol) transfers, etc.

Thanks for the answer! Someone told me I would get the best results if I'd use pigment ink with an IronAll paper. It that true? If so, what about dark fabrics?

pigment ink and IronAll is a good option. For dark fabric, you will be better served by plastisol or vinyl transfers. IMHO.
