Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I cant imagine no one else has asked this before, but I have no idea where to begin with searching for the answer.
Here I go.....if I wanted to draw something on transfer paper, how would I do this? Would my only option be plastiol ink or could I find and use the same ink used with inkjet printers?
If plastiol ink is the only ink, can I use this ink to draw onto transfer paper? I think I can, but I want to hear from someone who knows for sure.
Only those who have the answer to my questions, respond, please.
I suppose you could apply plastisol by hand to transfer paper, but it sounds like a fairly haphazard process.
Two better options: paint directly on the shirt with waterbased ink, or airbrush it (forum searches will turn up threads on this); paint on paper with procion dyes and transfer with a press.

It seems to me it would be easier to draw the design, scan then print. I can't imagine being able to mirror your design while drawing it out.
Transfer ink apply by hand
