Types of Heat Transfer Paper

Heat transfer papers are specific to the type of machine that will be used to print the paper. So, ink jet transfer paper is not recommended for use in a laser printer because it could actually harm the printer. A laser transfer paper will not produce a good transfer when used in an ink jet printer either.

An ink jet heat transfer paper has a plastic coating, but it also has a special coating which allows the ink jet inks to be absorbed and to dry prior to transferring the image. It is the combination of these coatings and the ink jet inks that produce the vivid ink jet transfers that are seen today.

Laser heat transfer papers are very machine specific. The correct paper is chosen based on the model number of color laser printer or copier. Models may have vastly different engines which produce varying internal temperatures. The internal temperature of the machine determines which paper will perform best. Some machines use a fusing oil and some machines use a toner which has the oil in the toner. Transfer paper is also selected based on this information as well.

Indigo heat transfer papers are those which have been approved by the HP Indigo testing facilities to perform properly in specific models of these digital presses. Again, equipment model numbers must be matched up to ensure that the correct paper is selected.

Two-Step Opaque transfer papers are used when transferring to a very bright or dark colored garment. When maximum opacity and durability are required, often a two-step process is preferred. These papers are universal and will work in conjunction with any light fabric ink jet transfer paper and will also work with any light fabric laser transfer paper. The light fabric transfer paper is printed as it normally would be and then it is pressed together with the two-step opaque product prior to being pressed to the garment.
