I have printed on IronAll for dark which is meant for Inkjet paper. It is the forum's choice because it is thin and has the softest hand.

The settings I used in my OKI C5200Ne:

  • Feed single Multi purpose tray.
  • Use rear exit tray.
  • Preheat the fuser by printing 5 to 10 sheets of blank standard printer paper using a file that has one space character.
  • Ultra High media weight.
  • Card Stock media type.
  • Feed single sheet transfer paper at a time in Multi purpose Tray.
Some are happy with Laser 1 opaque.

It is a 8.5 X 11 printer.

Here is a link to the photo of IronAll for Dark:

Gotta caution you though. Both shirts had lost some of the colors after several washes. It is not color fade that caused it. The Opaque material itself wears off after a while. I don't know any improvement has been done to the transfer paper since I pressed those shirts.
