Types of heat transfer paper:

Heat transfer paper comes in several varieties, each designed for specific applications and materials:

Inkjet vs. Laser: Heat transfer paper is available for both inkjet and laser printers. The choice between the two depends on your printer type and personal preferences.

Light vs. Dark Fabric: Light fabric transfer paper is designed for use on white or light-colored fabrics, while dark fabric transfer paper is suitable for use on dark or colored fabrics. Dark fabric transfer paper typically includes a white background to ensure vivid, opaque designs on dark materials.

Sublimation Paper: Sublimation transfer paper is used in a process known as sublimation printing. It's primarily used for high-quality, full-color, and permanent transfers onto polyester-based materials and coated substrates, such as mugs, phone cases, and polyester apparel.

Stretchable: Stretchable heat transfer paper is designed for use on stretchy materials like spandex or athletic wear. It allows for the design to stretch with the fabric without cracking or distorting.
