Default what papers for dark garments and color laser printer?
does anybody have a personal favorite? or do you stick to plastisol transfers for dark garments because of the difference in quality?

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus I gathered. I do a lot of short-run custom work though, so I was hoping for an in-house solution.. but if the quality is not up to snuff, I'll just continue outsourcing custom plastisol transfers. I am happy with imageclip for light garments though..
