Default Recommended 1 Step Dark Paper

I'm after some opinions about Laser heat tranfer paper for dark, and light colors.

I'm taking my press and t-shop on the road for a couple of special events and won't be using my inkjet setup. I plan on using Kinko's or another for laser printing on transfer paper. I'm looking to do a 1 step process

This is my question to all of you. How do you rate TransferWear Dark from tshirtsupplies.com and Laser1 Opaque from Coastal? I'm looking for ease of use and quick peel without hanging up.

Do you have any other suggestions for a moderate to great paper?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try also Forever's Laser Dark Opaque, it's great. I've also used Laser1 Opaque by Neenah. It's also good.

Thanks for your reply. Is the laser1 opaque from Coastal and Neenah the same paper ?

Yes, I think so. Neenah is the manufacturer; Coastal is one of their few official distributor.

In terms of wash test, durability and over all quality, I prefer the Forever Laser Dark Opaque. There's even a "new generation" Laser Dark Opaque paper now, a new and improved one based on their own testing and the customer feedbacks on the old current paper.

OK, here goes the question again,

TransferWear Laser Paper(oil-less) for both light and dark form t-shirtsupplies.com.

How does it hold up in a wash test?
Does it crack or fade after a few washes?
I'm printing at Kinko's with a Xerox printer which uses non-fuser oil.

If anyone can assist me with this question, it' would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
