Default Transfer Paper???

My question at the moment is what would be the best choice of transfer paper in regards to quality and durability??? I plan to make shirts of as many sizes as well as assortments of designs that a 16X20 press can handle...what's the best for the job???

paper size has nothing to do with quality or and durability. The actual paper type is the factor. have you looked into plastisol transfers. You can get those any size printed for you. Lou

I have looked into plastisol transfers and I will work with them, I'm just try to get a feel as to which is a good choice paper for my own prints...Before I go any further, I would just like to say that I have greatly appreciated the time and advice you put into the videos as well as the posts you share, they have greatly given me something to look forward on my journey inside the world of heat pressing, Thanks A Bunch!!!!!!

Lou you are a prime example of why this forum is so great. You have taken a lot of time to help others and you have done this just to help others. I have said it before and will say it again "when I grow up, I want tobe like you". In all seriousness Lou thanks for being you. I wish I known you years before, I know I would be smarter for it. Thanks again Lou ..... JB

Mike, the transfer papers that work best for me are JetPro Sofstretch for inkjet and ImageClip for laser. For doing mousepads I like Ironall for inkjet; peels easy, works first time, everytime. JetPro is very easy to use just doesn't peel as easy as Ironall, colors are great, with little fading. Ironall has fading issues for washables. Hope this helps. Forgot to mention these papers are for lights.

Hi MikeG,

I second Chet's vote 100%. If seeing is believing, here's some pics of JPSS after being bleached over half a dozen times. Pics are worth a thousand words.
Wow! Jetprosofstretch JPSS & Bleach Results -pictures - Canon Dye ink and Durabrite Pigment ink

Still washing that one, still looking just as great. When pricing suppliers, add this one to your list, tshirtsupplies.com. It's good to compare. Best regards, Kelly.
