Thinnest heat transfer material?

I am looking for the thinnest/softest heat transfer material. I did some shirts for a musicans benefit and the shirts had his album cover on the front. At almost 12" square it felt pretty stiff. It has to be able to go on dark shirts. I have tried a couple recommended to me but I would like thinner/softer yet. I have tried Sihl T-Printz 4578 but felt thick at 4.2mil. Then I tried Sihl T-Printz 3197 and still felt thick at 1.9 mil. I see Stahls has Express Print that is .088 mm thick. How does .088 mm compare to 1.9 mil? Has anybody used this Stahls product? Do you know of something better?

a 12" square is always going to feel like a patch regardless of how thin or thick the material is. The express print from Stahls is a great product. Imprintables direct comparison is the Eco-Print.

Thanks, How thick is the Eco-Print? It doesn't say on the website. Only comes in 20"? a lot of waste on a 12" design and not big enough to fit two designs.

We use Siser PU Matt...80 microns, very thin and flexible.
Needs a very new sharp blade (they recommend 50 degree) set to very shallow depth for cutting.
Gives good results.
Here's a link to their product sheet:

Interesting - the Colorprint PU here is thinner at 70 microns. http://siserna.com/print-cut-material/colorprint-pu# We use a lot of the stuff. Prints great and its about the thinnest one we have found.

The Colorprint PU is 2.8 thick and the Sihl T-Printz 3197 is only 1.9 thick. Am I missing something here or is thinnest not the best? Maybe softer is better not thinner. Has anybody compared Colorprint PU to Sihl T-Printz 3197 on a shirt?
