Question newbie has questions about ironall

HI. I'm very new at this so forgive my total lack of knowledge of these things but ,I 've read a lot here, and most of you seem to recommend ironall for transfer paper.
Since so many of you have positive things to say about it, I'm going to assume this is the right stuff.
I would still like to know why?
I mean what advantages does it have over other papers? There are so many.
Also, the ones they sell at the store. Why aren't they any good? I'm really curious here , I know there must be specific reasons.
I'm assuming the durability of the print is one reason. But I'd still like to hear what people have to say.
Also, I saw at that site they sell ironall on, that they sell inks for that paper. Why not use them? Again total novice here, so I'm just curious.

Default Re: newbie has questions about ironall

Ironall is reported to have a softer hand, which is a large part of why it is popular.

As for store bought paper... this is pure speculation on my part, but I think it's possible that because it's intended to be ironed on (rather than applied with a heat press) it might be formulated differently.

Hand is the handle/feel of the fabric or print. So in other words Ironall isn't as stiff on the shirt as other transfer papers - it blends with the shirt better.
