The Art of Transferring Inkjet Images
Image transfer is a highly popular technique artists use in collages, altered art, art journals, cardmaking, art quilts, etc. This lens is a one stop resource for what I think is the best information about how to do an inkjet image transfer along with where you can get some of the papers and other products to try it for yourself. It is also organized by different receiving surfaces (paper, cloth, ceramics, etc.) so you don't have to wade through Google to find the one you want.

- The most essential function of the inkjet switch paper is which you could take it off easily. While you would like to take off the picture from the t-shirt, simply add some warmth back to the picture by ironing and take away it. This is great because you'll be able to change your type every day in your single t-shirt. heat transfer paper
