Welcome to the forums, TracMatt! What's your laser printer? You might want to check with some vendors first before buying lots of light transfers because some laser printers gets too hot inside and can't really handle the light transfers. Try the thicker non-oil type light transfers first. Examples of these are the Forever Universal and Neenah's Techniprint. Other popular distributors also have their own non-oil type/thicker light transfers, so just ask for those. Good luck on your search!
Checkout Imageclip for laser or check www.Autoart.ca website to see if Duracotton HT is compatible with CLP 300.
Imageclip will not jam due to polymer melting on the fuser because the imaging paper is not coated with polymer. Some printer fuser is too hot for Duracotton HT.

Good idea on the ImageClip, Luis. So, it should be comaptible to all lasers since it's not coated with polymer?

Byron,
Most color laser copier or laser printer will work with Imageclip as long as it is manually fed in the bypass mode or multipurpose tray respectively. Laser printer with straight paper path like OKI works better to avoid mechanical jamming. Some laser fuser might not be hot enough to fuse the toner on the paper. I use Ultra heavy media weight setting, at least with my printer, to get consistent result. I would not recommend using Imageclip or other laser transfer with solid ink printer like some Xerox Phaser model. Although solid ink printer is not categorized as a laser printer can be mistaken as one since it is not an inkjet printer.

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions. I actually have a sample of imageclip that I'm going to try out today and see how it works.

I encourage you to do a search in the forum about Imageclip for laser for tips and tricks. It is a bit tricky to use. Its is going to help you a lot which will save you time, money and frustrations. If you can't find what you need send me a PM and I will point you to the relevant links.
Once you get the hang of it you will find the big difference between Imageclip and other transfers that leaves polymer around the image. At least that was the case with me. My first choice is Imageclip for laser. If the design does not work with that paper my second choice is Imageclip for inkjet. The third choice is Duracotton HT for laser or JPSS for inkjet with masking for both of these papers. The mask is my method of removing the majority of the polymer around the image without hand trimming the transfer paper itself.
Good luck.
