Yolo v TMT v xpress v etc

I look forward to the results of any test on opaque papers.

Thanks for posting your results Dave.

Quick update, I've been wash testing my first transfer paper tests. The Yolo Digitrans faded after just three washes but hasn't deteriorated too much since then so I'd be interested in trying out different printer/press settings to possibly help this.

The Xpres Trimfree paper is still as vivid after 6/8 washes as when it was printed.

Dark papers from both are washing well, Xpres again is performing extremely well with no apparent issues after same number of washes.

Yes, washing very well, better than the white, no apparent issues after 6+washes

Well here the shirt I was taking about with the burnt edges earlier on.
Shirt is an old ladies M&S t-shirt, 100% cotton, Cambodian made. The weave is not as thick to the touch as it is in the photo's.
Paper is Neehan's Jet Soft Pro Stretch from Yolo.
This has been washed four times now, inside out in the washing machine with main coloureds wash at 40 deg. Non bio soap tabs.
You can see the off white "burn" mark around the Q in the 2nd photo it is I believe, not a burn but carrier reside.

Yolo, if your reading this your Laser OPAQUE is pants!
im fed up of throwing away sheet after sheet because i cant peel the dam thing off and then when i do the toner just does not stay on the paper it smudges every time, ive gone through about 15 sheets over the last few weeks just to make 2 t-shirts. simon, any chance you could print out 1 design for me and put it in a envelope? im loosing the will to live here, i can send it to you in photoshop format if it helps...
