Default Best iron transfer paper

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?

In general, transfer papers for Laser Printers or CLC's are more durable and cost less, specially the ones used for white/light colored garments.

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.
