If the t shirts are 100% polyester it should be fine. Have a look on the t shirt suppliers websites for times/temp or try printing one at different heat/time to attain the correct settings.

i found jetcol the best paper gives really bright vibrant colours unfortunatly on my epson 1400 it tended to leave black track marks i think its probably because a lot of ink sat on top of the paper but i get pretty good results with tru pix paper.

About 35 seconds at 190c should give a result. We use a different profile, but difference is small.
