Default Can Everybody Agree?????????

I'm looking for the best transfer paper for lights and darks.

So far, I've found that people are recommending IRONALL FOR DARKS to use for the opaque transfers and the new JET-PRO SOFSTRETCH for the lights.

Can everybody agree to these recommendations?

Is
IRONALL FOR DARKS really worth the $1.87/transfer or is there a cheaper alternative that will give similar results?

Please help!!!

Thanks

Sorry this is off-topic.. but do you have to pay licensing fees to sell all of the copyright/trademark logos you have on your site? I design my own artwork so I'm rather clueless when it comes to licensing fees and copyright infringement. Is the license fee built into the purchase price of the printed fabric or stock transfer? Anyways, I just wanted to make sure you've done your homework so you don't end up getting sued.

I believe you do have to pay licensing fees to sell. And I don't have them that's why I am not selling anything. I made the site before learning about copyright and licensing. i am in the process of creating a whole new site by myself with my own work. I have learned a lot on this forum about copyright and licensing.

Chris..your original thoughts are good, but you will not get everyone to agree...just because of different experiences, equipment, material and target market...you just have to take what works for you..then experiment with new things as they come out..then make a decision...

Thanks. I know different people have different experiences. I wanted those people to put their input as well. This way i can put their materials they used to a tshirt test. from their i can choose the one that i think is best.

Considering that it may be the only "good" option out there if you don't have a DTG, then it is probably worth the price. However, I don't consider it a "great" solution yet.

Since I am blessed (or cursed perhaps..LOL) to have a DTG, I use it for dark shirts requiring full color and thermal vinyl for simple 1, 2 & 3 colors jobs with low coverage.

Now...if you are using the opaque transfer material for dark tote bags and such, then you can buy the "regular" lower priced opaque transfers.

Hope that helps....

John
