There are two forum favorites laser transfers. One is self weeding.

If your designs are not too light or not gradient or not photo then I would recommend Imageclip for laser. It is self weeding which means it does not have to be trimmed. Which makes this transfer paper ideal for pastel or slightly darker colored shirts with no polymer box issue around the image. The other is Duracotton HT. I use it if the design will not work with Imageclip. However, it is limited to white and ash unless it is trimmed really close to the image. I own a vinyl cutter that I use to contour cut a mask (standard printer paper) that I use to cover the unwanted polymer around the image. Using a mask also solves the placement problem when trimming especially if the image design are separate pieces i.e. a graphics/logo with words around the graphics. If the image is rectangular like photos then use Duracotton HT. Just trim it as close as possible.

Here is a link of a sample of Imageclip:

Here is a link of masking technique that I use:
what is considered light colored shirts?

The post below it #12 and #13 are the stps and pictorial that demonstrate the process respectably.

Imageclip is a bit tricky to use. I have a process that I use that really works. I can help you with it.

Sorry I missed that one. When I saw Forever paper I jump on it since I had bad experience with Forever transfer paper. The transferred image cracked and too much polymer around the image. Oki Printer is the choice of most members for laser printer. C5500, C5600 or C6400 has been mentioned alot for 8.5X11 and C8600 or C8800 for 11 X 17. I use C5200Ne which is a discontinued model.
