when I go for Jetprosofstretch again, I'll be heading straight to tshirtsupplies.com. They had the best price last time I looked, and other vendors will be checked to see if they beat tshirtsupplies.com prices...
I usually wait for a sale at New Milford Photo for Ironall Dark, but haven't checked prices at other vendors that carry the paper in a long time... the sales at NMP are usually great for me. The key is to sign up for the newsletter so you receive an email when the sales happen..
Well, for preferred vendors, there are Coastal and Alpha, where you can get a pack of 50 sheets for $40.00 plus shipping. ( 80 cents a sheet without shipping).
And there is tshirtsupplies.com, where you can get a pack of 50 for $27.00 plus shipping. (.54 cents a sheet without shipping).
I didn't get the shipping, but right off the start, if you look at the prices, you have to be very committed to purchase JPSS from these preferred vendors at these upcharges. I prefer to shop the preferred vendors when they earn my business by having the most competitive pricing. The lower my costs, the more competitive I can be, or conversely, the more profit I will earn per sale, increasing my bottom line. I cannot afford the luxury to pay more simply because I have a desire to support someone else's business.. maybe one day... but it's not today.

50 sheets for 40 bucks... wut kind of sheets r these... dark or light?
Those prices from above are for Jetprosofstretch... which is a paper for lights...
I think it's the best paper for lights out there at this time.. maybe one day, we'll be blessed with a version for darks.. but for now, life is a nice with JPSS... stretches with the shirt, no cracks, no fade, barely a hand, gets softer with washes...
I am wash testing a shirt I did with JPSS and Canon Regular Dye ink and it is not fading out (because of the JPSS, dye ink washes out of other papers - do not use dye if you are not using JPSS.) I've washed it about 10 times, warm water/high heat dryer, and 5 or 6 times had one cup of Bleach... not seeing any fade, I'll be posting more pics soon... that's why I gave prices for JPSS. I am a loyal fan of the product.
But did you see the price of $27 for the same 50 pack at tshirtsupplies.com? They have the 100 pack for $50. That's cheaper yet.

wao... thas .50 a sheet. i have been referred to ironall for darks, which r supposedly the best out there. do u know who sells them for the cheapest.
imprintables have the same JPSS under different name which cost as low as .50 but when u buy 1000 or more and they r .75 if you buy 100
so ur prices are way way WAYY better in a long run and much more convenient as well...
if u find me better prices on ironall for darks... ill give u a treat!! :P

I signed up for New Milford Photo's newletter, and when they've had sales, I've bought it from them. Ironall for light and dark is sold by different suppliers under different names: Jetflex, Everlast, Translution...
I went thread hunting, finally found this link for you: Everlast Dark?
In this link, Luis/Infortun was great enough to supply a link to the distributors for Ironall light/dark papers. He also suggests a certain supplier in this thread. That's the one thing I haven't done yet, is price the different suppliers of Ironall dark under the various names they give it. It is very, very confusing to keep track of the various names. When you price it, be sure you are getting the price of the Ironall clone paper... too many times, I see people mixing up Ironall with a paper that is not a clone of Ironall at all, but a completely different paper. Just a heads up.
I've gotten such great deals from NMP, that I've not needed to look elsewhere, but I would like to get my comparables in order in case I need to order without one of their great sales going on.

What is the name of this paper? I was under the impression the suppliers were not changing the name of Jetprosofstretch to another name like they did with the Ironall papers (causing quite a mess along the way.) If IW did, they are the first to do so. Are you sure it's JPSS they are selling under this name? Thanks...

If you mean the tshirtsupplies.com, I agree! So far, they are the one to beat, I hope they don't catch on! lol.

I haven't looked up the pricing at this supplier yet, but here's the advice I got on where to go shopping for the Ironall dark, it's called Translution here: Everlast Dark?

as far as i know Imprintables sells JPSS under different name... 'JETFLEX premium'
i cud be wrong but thas wut i thought.
who do u buy the ironall for darks... clone paper?
imprintables are selling transfer for darks for $160 (100 sheets), $675 (500 sheets)
im confused abt the everlast... who sells them... luis has given out the link for H.I.S transfer papers and they r calling it light/dark transfer papers...

Jetflex at Imprintables is Ironall for lights... Everlast is Ironall for lights being sold by Coastal... Luis's link lists the distributors of the Ironall papers, but the problem is.... they all give it different names instead of just calling it Ironall and Ironall for darks. I think they lose sales because people looking for Ironall do not even know that Jetflex, Everlast, and Translution are all Ironall with a different name.
So far, thank goodness, Jetprosofstretch is only being sold as "Jetprosofstretch". JPSS has Jetprosofstretch written on the back of the release paper, so it is easy to see it is JPSS.
The only confusion I have seen with Jetprosofstretch and another paper that Could be confused with Jetprosofstretch is at the Paper Ranch. They did not list Jetprosofstretch on their website - but said they did sell it - you have to Call the order in.. but they listed a paper for lights on the website called Jetpro that IS NOT Jetprosofstretch. I did not like that they did that, it is too confusing to people - I think. Do not buy Jetpro from the Paper Ranch, it is not Jetprosofstretch.. that is the only confusion out there with Jetprosofstretch that I have found so far...
I've only bought my Ironall Dark from New Milford Photo, because of the great sales prices. If I need Ironall Dark when there is no sale happening, I will check out the supplier Luis told me about...
You know by clone paper, I mean it is the same identical paper under a different name, right? I wish the suppliers would just use the real name... until then, with Ironall and Ironall Dark, you just have to keep track of what the names are... Another reason I love JPSS!!!
Good luck, Uzii, hope this helps, Ironall / Ironall Dark purchasing can get confusing for sure!!

wow!! iron all for darks tends to be more expensive from milford photo. have u tried "IW Inkjet for Darks" from imprintables?
they cost $1.60 a sheet if u buy 100, compare to 1.97 a sheet from where U buy...
thn again ironall is a different paper with different quality... i need to start sampling transfer papers now.

Exactly... I've used papers for darks that cracked, and I didn't like it... I really like Ironall for darks because of the stretch, it makes all the difference in the world, IMO.... it's Ironall Dark's fine features that I pay the extra money for...
Good luck with you dark paper testing and sampling... once you see the products working... it becomes easy to decide which one you personally like and want to put your name on...
