I was thinking about starting with DuraCottonHT... but after reading many posts... and even asking questions directly (This post: DuraCotton HT... how is it working for you? ) and getting ZERO responses...

I get the impression that a lot of people are "recommending" DuracottonHT... but few people are using it with CONSISTENT results.

Maybe I am wrong... but when the distributor of the product posts something like this:

"By the end of 3 days, we finally had that press doing ZERO Cutting / Transfer without Borders. It took something like 300 - 400 samples to get it right. We had the temp up to 405 F, time 14 - 15 seconds, pressure was set at 9. "

It makes me very nervous.

I want a transfer paper that has an easier learning curve... and one that will not look good on pressing, then look bad after the first wash. (after all... I am not going to wash my shirts before shipping them to customers.)

After reading ALL the posts about DuraCotton... then ALL the posts regarding ImageClip... I have decided to start out with ImageClip.

Seems to be more success stories (and fewer "horror stories") about ImageClip.

I have enough things to learn about my new T-Shirt Biz... transfer paper hassles should not be one of them.

Just My 2-Cents...
