In my opinion that paper is Jet Pro Soft Stretch (JPSS) for whites and light color t-shirts.

There are several companies that sell it, but I believe the one most people here get the best price from is t-shirtsupplies.com. Also if you do a search at the top of this page in the search box for jpss (which is jetpro softstretch) you will find a ton of information on this paper, as it is the one that is most used by the members here for light color shirts.

Yet another vote for Jetprosofstretch (also called JPSS here on the forum.)
BobbieLee is right, it seems the best pricing is usually at tshirtsupplies.com. Right now they are giving another 5% off if you sign up for their newsletter.
Some other suppliers are New Milford Paper, Coastal, Alpha Supply, and you can search JetproSofstretch suppliers on this forum or on Google to find more.
Sign up for the newsletters with the supplier if you are going to be keeping regular stock. If you get the emails, you'll know as soon as someone is holding a sale, and sometimes the sales are excellent (around 30% off). That really helps the bottomline.
Good luck to you...

Are you asking how much the polymer window (untrimmed part of the paper outside of the design) shows on a shirt?
The polymer coating will transfer to the shirt if you do not trim it away. JPSS does not show alot on white shirts.
That depends more on what shirt you are transferring to. For me, JPSS onto a Jerzees HW 50/50 (29) barely shows, if it does at all.
But on my Hanes Beefy tee 100 cotton, it shows alot more. Jerzees is the least, Hanes the most, and my Gildans 5050 is medium.
It is not offensive on any of the shirts tho... it's just that on the Jerzees, it's like it is not even there.
That info applies to white shirts only. For light color shirts, you will have to test if you leave it untrimmed or barely trimmed.
The polymer does not show up on some light colors, it does show on other light colors, and for some colors, especially heathers, it makes the shirt very dark where the polymer is.
There are threads with pics to all of these different types of shirts.
Search:
"Jpss bleach" to see the white shirts.
''Jpss ash" to see the heathers.

I found this one by googling "Jetpro Sofstretch Canada", and there were others.
Jet-Pro Sofstretch
(for light colour fabric)
You can also try suppliers in the US and check out the fees to reach you. Good luck to you.

Awesome!! Thanks so much! Last time i ordered any sheets online it was from the states, and my "duty fee's" were just as much as the transfer sheets themselves. I'm gonna try this and let everyone know how it worked out for me, thanks again.

I've tried them all and I found that Gold Seal VersaLite Next Generation Inkjet Light Premium paper to work the best for me. You can peel it hot or cool. Once your shirt cools it can be washed and dryer dried immediately no waiting. So far I have had no problems with this paper. Great looking transfers.

The ad says the paper is for light shirts only.
Why would you want to buy this paper from an Ebay dealer, I wonder. Nothing about that paper looks to be the Jetpro Sofstretch paper that we use on the forum.
If you do buy that paper, look for blue grids on the back and the logo Jetpro Sofstretch, or a black line down the back.
I'd place money that the Jetpro in that ebay auction is not JPSS paper.
When Proworld was running their special, which they still might be for forum members, their price on 100 pcs was way less than that, only $39.
I would buy from a reputable dealer, not on Ebay. I'd only buy on ebay if is was from one of the reputable dealers who also happen to sell on ebay.
Good luck to you, the question placed seemed to be can it be used for dark shirts, and that answer was in the listing... it said for lights. Best regards, Kelly =)

Sorry, kb, I didn't mean to imply the seller is not legit. I didn't look at their feedback rating. They may be a perfectly good seller. For me, it's all about the paper.
When I see the name JetPro... knowing how popular the paper is on this forum, I immediately wondered if the paper was being sold under the guise that it is JetPro Sofstretch. I actually have nothing to base that on, other than the name.
For people who don't not know *how* to spot *real* Jetpro Sofstretch paper, that product "could" look like an ebay auction for Jetpro Sofstretch.
I wouldn't use the paper in that auction, I really like the real JPSS. There is a paper sold by the Paper Ranch that is called "Jetpro". It is not JPSS paper, just another paper with a similar name. I looked to see if this was the Paper Ranch, just selling thru Ebay, but it doesn't look like it. I didn't look past the name of the seller and read the ad, tho.
The blue lines on the back are the backprint on JPSS paper. There are blue grids, and the name Jetpro Sofstretch printed on the back of the real JPSS paper that we are usually talking about here on the forum.
There is a distributor who is allowed to mark the paper with a plain black line down the back. If it does not have the black line down the back, or the blue grids and JPSS name, it isn't JPSS. (At this time, these are the backmarkings on the paper.)
June Taylor may use blue grids, too. That is okay. There is actually another heat transfer paper with blue grids that is called Blue Grid. Blue grids are not exclusive to one paper, but for Jetpro Sofstretch, blue grids plus the name JetPro SofStretch is the backmark of that paper, other than when it has a black line. Possibly, even no line, I think I read someone once got paper with no mark at all... but... the packaging included paper that clearly stated the full name JetPro SofStretch.
Dealing with a reputable dealer will help ensure you get the paper you *think* you are purchasing. Paper can make such a huge difference in your finished product, that when you fall in love with a paper, you want to make *sure* you get *that* paper when you think you are buying it.
Hope this helps, sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Kelly:
Could you please take a look at this listing, do you think this is the TRUE JPSS paper?
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
I purchased it this week because my wife and I are looking into making tshirts/bibs/onesies/etc. We tried this paper and i feel like its not the same as everyone talks about so maybe we got tricked into getting a cheaper version? We are using white tshirts/bibs/onesies and when we hot peel the paper, it leaves the white residue(maybe after wewash it will be fine). Also when we cold peel, it looks and feels cool but you see the white residue alot more. It could just be us since we are testing all this for the first time but figured i would get some input
thanks for your time.
