Hi everyone I don't know whether I am doing this right but need some help. I have just started printing tshirts. I am using fotl 185gsm (100% heavy cotton) I have tried two different brands of transfer paper, both cheap, and I know you get what you pay for, they both say suitable for washing at 40 but when I've washed them they have more or less crumbled away and washed off. I am waiting for some JPSS transfer paper to arrive which I'm hoping will be better it I just wanted to see what everyone's opinions are? Could it be the tshirts that's the problem or do you think it's the transfer paper? Any help, advice or info would be much appreciated Thanks x

Are you using pigment ink? It is generally more durable than dye based ink. If you follow the paper instructions, time, temp, pressure, then you shouldn't be having this problem with any paper, though some are better than other. The JPSS seems to be the best on the market at this time. God Bless.

JPSS will work better but you do need to use pigment ink and don't wash right away.
