I used to use Pellon's lightweight woven fusible interfacing for my shirt collars & cuffs. I have had trouble in both lightweight & medium weight fabrics with the fusible both shrinking and showing the glue spots. I grew up with Pellon, and it's carried at the local shops - so I didn't know any better.
I purchased some ProWeft Supreme medium-weight interfacing from Fashion Sewing Supply a while back, and after working with that fusible, I decided to go all-in and purchase various weights & weaves for all my interfacing needs.
I have cut out another Archer shirt, this time in a cotton voile. I'm interfacing the collar with ProSheer Elegance Light, and thought I'd share two comparison photos of cotton voiles.
First a Pellon interfaced collar - a sad affair that made my voile look like pebble crepe:
Next the ProSheer Elegance - see any wrinkles or divets? No, you don't - because there aren't any.
