Transfer paper is a special type of paper used to transfer images or designs onto various surfaces, such as fabric, wood, or ceramics. It typically has a coated side that holds the ink or toner from a printer, allowing the design to be easily transferred when heat or pressure is applied. This makes it popular for crafting, DIY projects, and custom apparel. There are different types of transfer paper, including inkjet transfer paper and sublimation transfer paper, each suited for specific printing methods and materials. Users can create personalized items like t-shirts, mugs, and home decor by printing their designs onto the transfer paper and applying them to the desired surface.
