Hi Folks

Just want to get inputs about transfer paper for laser printer. How good is this. Here is a website that sells to us.
Transfer Paper Canada - Your transfer source.

Is this a good thing. Quality or durability. Does anyone used it.

The Techni Print and Image Clip are both products i use and would endorse.
The Laser 1 Opaque is not a product i liked at all. Thick, heavy and for me difficult to get a good impressing of.
There are better papers avilable for darks like Image Clip Dark and Koncert paper.
Try the sample pack and see how they work out for you. Befor you actually press anything search this site for questins about these products and see what others have worked out as the best method.
I had to tweak image clip and techni print to work with my equipemnt and you will have to do the same.
This is because there are so many presses, printers and papers avilable on the market. Let the seller know what your printing with and what press you have so they can offer suggestions.

I just used the imageClip self weeding paper for the first time today. I watched this video:
YouTube - How To Screen Print: Self Weeding Heat Transfer Paper
and it really worked as easy as it does in the video. I got the paper in the mail and made a full color and a black and white first try today.

what lazer printer would you refer to someone just starting

Well that would totally depend on your budget. If you have unlimited cash, go top shelf and get a full sized Cannon, Ricoh, or other office printer.
I got lucky and landed a last unit in stock Ricoh Aficio full sized office printer. It was on sale for $3000. Which is a good deal.
But most people starting out don't want to drop 3K into a printer for something that just wants to hobby around with.
You can get some really nice home units for about $200 to $500. I prefer laser printers over ink jet for several reasons.
1 dry toner will never dry up and go bad like inkjets will.
2 dry toner can 1000's of images vs. the few 100 an inkjet can offer.
3 Toners have very good wash ability, you need the right brand of ink or it may wash off the shirt.
You’re also going to need a heat press, they aren't cheap either. But plenty of good units available second hand.
And the papers cost a bundle.
The cheapest part of shirt printing is the shirts!
Check out our vender’s directory and price shop the different products available. Someone has the products you want and are willing to work with for the right price.
