Default Re: Materials not to use
I don't know about a list, but the worst transfer paper we've used so far was called 'Gold Seal Reserve Inkjet Dark'. Bought it off of Ebay - it's for darks. Absolute crap. Cracks after 1 washing and their printed logo on the back bleeds through to the front, usuable side if stored for any amount of time.

Also, for light transfer paper, the cheap 'double green line' paper is disappointing. Rough hand and cracks quickly. Cheap though (0.25/sheet - 100 pack)

My 2 cents
