Talking Advice needed.....

Hello everyone......Let me start out by giving a "BIG" thank you to Josh (Imprintables) & Alpha supply for the free paper samples. Here's my problem.....I printed on the jetpro softstretch and loved it!!! Easy as heck and after 2 tries, I got everything down pact. I can do a white with no problem Used both 50/50 and 100% cotton. My problems are with the dark shirts....I tried the alpha dark and it would not print on the shirt at all, same thing for the IW inkjet for darks from Imprintbles. Is there a paper that works as good on darks as jetpro works on whites??? Honestly, i can use the help.

Uh... Did you put the images ink-side down on the shirts, and then peel 'em? IIRC, you peel 'em off the backing first, and put a piece of non-sticky paper or teflon between the press and the image.

Personally, I haven't yet found a "dark print" solution that I like - I've used some stuff from IW, and it was a good image, but the client described it as "wearing a sheet of rubber on your chest."
