Default Iron-All vs. Imagejet for Darks

It seems like Iron-All for darks is most people's favorite from what I have read. Has anyone used Imagejet for darks from ProWorld?

10SHEETS/PACK-PRICE PER SHEET

How do they compare? Thickness, colors, hand, stretchiness...

Thanks!

Here is an older post in which Mark/DAGuide says one of AB's pics is the Imagejet for darks.

Here is a search that might yield more info on the paper:
T-Shirt Forums Search Results

One way to find out for sure what the differences are, and the best way imo, is to order the sample packs, and use each paper with your ink. Wash/dry them, and see what you think.

There's no substitute for seeing something with your own eyes.

As far as wanting to avoid a paper that is just a bad choice, I rarely see posts on Imagejet Dark. I don't know why that is, but the long and short is, I don't even have other posts to direct you to, other than that general search for the paper name. Anything positive or negative might be in there. ?

Good luck to you.

As of September 2008 "imagejet for darks" was BLUE GRID opaque paper.

I do not have any of this years "imagejet for darks" on hand, so I do not know if Proworld is still using BLUE GRID as their "image jet for darks".

BUT.... I have used the blue grid opaque paper and the batch that I had worked fine.
It is a little more rugged than Neenah's "Jet Opaque" and holds color just as well.
I have had no peeling or cracking.(except for when I used fabric softener)

I use Heat Transfer Pigment inks and an Epson C120 printer.

ARKWRIGHT is the manufacturer of this paper and now they have just announced this.....
"Arkwright Announces Fabric Transfer Paper Compliance with CPSIA"
http://www.wide-formatimaging.com/web/online/Products/Arkwright-Announces-Fabric-Transfer-Paper-Compliance-with-CPSIA/5$4232

...and here is the PDF file for this Blue Grid opaque paper from Arkwright's website....

LOTS of sellers carry this under LOTS of different names......

UNLESS this has changed in the last few months.....here are some different names that it goes by......


BLUE GRID
ARKWRIGHT
"Color Jet III"--------Beacon Graphics
"Color Jet III"--------Specialty Graphics
"Color Jet III"--------Specialty Materials
"Dark"----------------New Milford
"Image Jet Opaque"--Pro World INC.
"InkJet Opaque"------COASTAL
"Jet Dark II"---------- Paper Ranch
"Jet Opaque"----------Condé
"JetWear Hi-Gloss-----Tshirtsupplies.com
"O-Jet"---------------MIS Associates INC.

POSSIBLE BLUE GRID PAPER BELOW?????
(I do not have this paper on hand)
Paper from BLANKSHIRTS.com
AWDK All Weather - Dark
"Single-Step InkJet Transfer Paper – for transfer to dark or bright colored 100% cotton fabrics. Can be hand ironed or heat pressed. EASY to use, excellent brightness and color retention after washing. Blue line on back. New and Improved replacement for JWDK"
