I want to print on a basic green shirt. Do you recommend the dark or light transfer paper?

I would go with the transfer paper for dark as it would work on dark, medium or light colored fabrics.

Normal copy paper, yes. I do not know about transparency/see through film. It may not adhere to the surface. Do note that you will get a lighter print if you print on normal copy paper as this type of ink needs to be heated and applied on a surface that has a sublimation coating applied to it, in order for the colors to "pop".

I use Photoshop CC and it works very well. Just remember to turn of the printer color management and let "Photoshop determines color" control the color. I do not use Photoshop Elements.

I don't know but: Because it uses thermal printing I don't believe you would be happy with the results. Exposure to light will lighten the printing over time and if you darkened the entire label it might not lighten evenly. Further I notice that when I use a very black type face, sometimes one letter will be a little lighter than another which would indicate that it might not darken evenly.

Cardstock. It is not matte. Get it if u want it to reflect light and images.

It reflects light better. I'm not a big photo printer and do not use photo black ink. I do use remanufactured ink cartridges. First computer 1985.

Plain paper is fine. We use Willcopy Ultra - suitable for ink jet and laser printers.

I am not sure, but it is my understanding that LASER coror printers can use regular plain paper for heat transfers, as long as the heat is high enough. I do not know how high the heat must be to press the laser ink onto the fabric. It is the INKJET printers that require special coating on transfer paper.

I use it with my inkjet printer. I would use Epson or HP Premium Photo paper for top quality, archival photogaphs. Hammermill is an inexpensive way to produce excellent quality color brochures and handouts, in my opinion. I have NO idea what they might mean by "digital" paper for this product. It looks like a bright white, smooth, cover stock.

I use this paper with an HP printer...the old HP Photosmart D7460 that I've had for years. It works beautifully and the colors are outstanding. I hardly use photopaper anymore since I discovered this stuff. However, I prefer the Epson double-sided inkjet paper. I like the Ultra Premium, but it's sometimes difficult to tell which side to print on. With the double-sided paper, it doesn't matter and you can print on both sides. I do that when I'm doing die cutting that requires folding cut pieces of a die...then the "back" color contrasts nicely with the front color.

I used printer paper, and it worked fine! Just fine tune your "Ironing time" depending on how hot your iron gets. Seems all Irons are different! Good Luck with your Project

it depends. some are better quality than the others, all depends on the pictures you are lightscribing

Photos on plain paper isn't the quality that you get with photo paper... that is the case with all printers I have owned. The black in a text document are very good on plain paper, very black.

It depends on what you want and what direction you are facing in and are you planning on doing it in direct sunlight or in the shade? For outdoor I'd just get the paper or male your own creative backdrop leave the muslin cloth for studio work .

I use the lightpad with 32 lb HP laserjet paper. You don't need tracing paper, any standard paper will do.

Not Only do you REQUIRE special transfer paper, you require a special ink. I would HIGHLY recommend using Sawgrass Inks because they have developed inks that are matched with the necessary ICC color profiles to ensure what you see on your screen turns into what is pressed on the shirt. Now that comes to make next point. You can go with Chromablast Inks which can print ONLY on light colored 100% cotton fabrics. If you want more versatility and wider range of products, I would recommend going with Sublijet-R inks which can be pressed to 100% polyester based materials (from shirts, mugs, hats to phone cases!) Once you decide the direction you are going you can only use the printer for that purpose. This printer uses an internal ink well system that maintains ink in it so you use ALL the ink in the cartridges making it very cost efficient. But, you can not switch cartridges and print with another ink. This is specialty printing you are talking about and I highly recommend you find someone who knows this process and teach you because it can be a little daunting learning this on your own. Best of luck!

Not too light, no, but it's definitely not laser-dark, which is disappointing. I've only printed on 22 lb. copy paper, though, and haven't tried any papers formulate for this printer. Perhaps that would make a difference?
