Guys i havent tried pressing into a polo shirt. I worry of its durability. A client want me to create polo shirt design using black polo but they cant afford embroidered design. Instead i offered using heat press. We havent got a deal yet but were in the proces of designing. Is it ok if i am to use dark transfer paper? how durable it is in the long run? thanks :)

If the design is small, it would be ok. The durability is usually not the concern, its the hand. Also, if the logo is vector and not a bunch of colors, cad cut vinyl and flock are economical alternatives to transfer paper and the quality is great.

"Feel to the Hand" The dark transfer papers are plastic feeling. This is not as noticeable on small designs, but big designs like photo images are heavy and plastic feeling. Hope this helps.
