I am having a hard time finding some information. I am new to this, so forgive my ignorance. I am going to be transfering images using a heat press and inkjet transfer paper, JPSS brand. Just got in Gildan 5.6 oz. 50/50 blend t-shirts and am not happy with the quality, very thin. I can't seem to find a heavier t-shirt in a blend, only 100% cotton. Does anyone out there have experience with this type of transferring onto 100% cotton? I am worried about color fastness.
Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much, this forum has been a wealth of information!

Thank you so much for the info.
I am going to be transferring onto white cotton so at this stage I am just concerned with the colorfastness of the transfer.
Does the type of fabric you transfer onto have any impact on how much the transfer itself fades? As I stated, I am using Jet Pro SofStretch transfer paper for inkjet copiers.
Thanks again, I'd be lost without all the info. on this forum!
