Jet-Pro Sofstretch is designed for light coloured fabric only as the the colour of the fabric will shine through the transfer to a certain extent. The papers for darks have an opaque white film background to hide the colour of the fabric. As a result, you really need to trim around the image before pressing - contour cutting will give you the most professional results.

Obviously pigments inks would be best on this.. but what is the lifespan with sub inks.. (purely because I just don't have the room for yet another printer lol)

Wash-ability etc.. does it fade considerably after a few washes.. is it something that if you use sub inks.. it's more of a couple of uses ideas i.e hen t's etc ??

Given that the description states -

Thin polymer coating holds ink

- and dye-sub ink bonds with polymer, then I would expect a decent amount of durability.

I've asked for some samples to try with my pigment ink and, if there's enough samples, I'll also try with my dye-sub ink.
