Im looking to expand a little and start doing printer transfers. Im not really looking for whats the best inkjet, Ive picked a 1280 Epson if I go that direction. What Im looking at now is if a color laser wouldnt be a better investment. Ive been reading about the Dura-cotton papers with the zero borders and I like the sound of that. My question may be is there a paper for inkjets that offer the borderless finish? Right now I have a HP all-in-one I use for invoices and the such and its great but Id like to dedicate a machine just for this purpose. If you have a link or two that sheds light, or a thread here, or just a " well Id go this way because..." would be great. I hate spending money to learn a lesson. Thanks everyone and have a happy safe Helloweenie.

I thought I remember a thread about laser printers, let me see if I can find it.

Maybe other members will have updated info to share as well.

DuraCotton is not borderless. There is a polymer window. It is barely noticeable on white, but quite noticeable on ash and khaki. I have some pale yellow that I haven't tried it on yet. ImageClip is borderless and the finished product looks like a screen print. I use DuraCottonHT and ImageClip regularly and like both of them.
