Default photos on transfer paper??

I have customers wanting photos or something put on shirts. I have not found a transfer paper that will not fade a little even in the first washing in cold water.
What is the best one to use that I and the customer would be satified with.
Appreciate your replies!

Like Lou said try Jetpro Soft Stretch for light fabric. And either Iron all or Alpha Gold for darks.

Search at the top of this page for these papers to get a lot of detailed information.

I use Jpss to transfer photos onto white 100% cotton shirts. Minimal fade.Photos on dark fabrics, Alpha Gold. Alpha Gold very heavy feel to the transfer no fade.
