Default Project: Need help to figure out how to do heat press project

Hello, I am french so I'll do my best. I have read all of the treads regarding witch process to use. I decided for now to go with heat transfer and plastisol transfer. I would like to know where to buy the jetprosoftstretchs paper? What do you suggest on black shirts? Should i buy inkjet printer or laser printer. I would like to be able to print large imprint on shirt (could be applied in mulitple step)i have a project to do with a client and i really would appreciate if someone could get in touch with me at [email address] Or cgv promo.com ( my phone etc is available)
I am wondering if i get send this project on the forum to get help. I tried to get in touch with chemica.fr but i do not get anyone.
I also talk to someone that sells graphtec plotter but he says for heat press transfer it is better to buy a rolland printer (those expensive one) Right now it is not possible for me. I'm getting confused. From Guylaine from Canada

Here is one supplier, I found it by googling Jetpro Sofstretch Canada. There may be more if you re-do that search and look past the first supplier that comes up.
JetPro Sofstretch<br><i>(for light colour fabric)</i>

For use with the heat press, plastisol or vinyl, first, but if it has to be dark/opaque inkjet heat transfer paper, Ironall Dark (Iya paper) or JetWear Dark.

Some people prefer laser over inkjet, say it is better quality. It costs more to get into initially, but those who have switched say it costs less over time, to work with laser.

Look up "dark shirt laser" to find threads about doing dark shirts with lasers. It can be done, I hear, but I also understand it's not quite as simple as doing dark shirts with inkjet heat transfers.

There are also threads comparing inkjet to laser process. "Inkjet vs laser" brings alot of good ones up in a search.

If we get in touch with you here, in this thread, then the help goes along way to helping other people with your same questions, long after you get the answers... they'll be here for future readers to learn from.

If you want to find help from members on the forum to actually work with or for you, you can place an ad in the Referral and Recommendation section of the forum. That is where folks are allowed to offer their services, not in any other section. So if that is what you are looking for, that is where you would need to post a thread, stating what help you need.

Did they recommend a machine like the Versa camm, that prints on the vinyl and cuts it? If that is what you can afford, and that is the work you want to do, the versa camm is a nice machine but....

If you want to cut vinyl (without printing), the Graphtec will work fine. Not sure which Roland they recommended, but the gx-24 is also nice for vinyl (without printing).

It's easy to get confused. There is alot of information, and similar machines, and different processes.

Hopefully this post has started to unravel at least some of the mystery.
