What’s the best Transfer Paper to use for Dark Garments?

Hi there

I am using an epson printer with dura bright ink.

I use the same printer and the only transfer paper ive found that im happy with on that setup is the Xpres Inkjet Dark.

Your right though, it is rather thick and rubbery.

I do a lot of full colour garment printing with an Epson/Durabrite.
Until a few months ago I used Xpres Inkjet Dark, but found an alternative here which is slightly thinner. As most of my work is with with smallish logos that I cut to shape, the thickness is not really an issue.
Recently got some samples from http://www.piedmont-digital-graphics.com through their distributor in Holland.
Much better finish than Inkjet Dark, more like screenprinting, and a lot cheaper. Great for simple square/rectangles, but can´t be cut to more intricate shapes.
Try speaking to Target Transfers as well. They´re very helpful.

Thanks have used xpress ink jet dark and was dissapointed as each time it blead and the other time it came off a customers order. I have tried all xpress paper several times and trashed many garments and was dissapointed except for the one for white only Garment paper. They also want £100 a box for the ink jet dark stuff. The best stuff I have tried so far has been from Partners yes a high street shop it’s different to the other papers found onthe high street, but surely the proffesional print market should have something better.

Cheers
