Has anyone has experience of using both of these papers with t-shirts? Which would you say gives the most professional/durable finish? I suspect Subli-Flex would be the more permeant solution, being that you sublimate your image to the vinyl, but I'd be interested in the opinions of people who have used both.

Subliflex 202 is awful. Thick as a bulletproof vest and stinks like a second hand gimp suit - and those are the good points.
The big problem with it is that you print onto the back and it sublimates through when pressed. The problem there is that it is totaly unusable on anything with even the slightest polyester content. The polyester dye will also migrate through....
I had problems with humidity when I tied it. The ink bled very badly before pressing. Maybe I should have left it over night in a dry airtight container before pressing.
