Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I bought the Milford transfer paper and it doesnt work so well. Does anyone know of a good tranfer paper company? Transfer paper that is durable, no cracking, works well with dark clothes and is at a reasonable price?

What exact problems did you have with the New Milford Paper?
Which paper did you try?
It might not be a problem with the paper, but something in the application procedure that we can help with. Many others here have used ironall with success on white/light colored garments.

For dark clothes, there really isn't an inkjet transfer that works well in my opinion.
The best options for heat transfers on dark clothes are vinyl transfers or plastisol transfers.
If you search the forums for opaque, you'll see dozens of recommendations for inkjet transfer paper for dark shirts.
I posted a pic yesterday of my first opaque transfer attempt First pics! Thanks all! - inkjet c88+ and possibly but not provably Blue Grid, will have to keep trying !
