Default transfer paper, which is the best?

Hello everyone! I just signed up and have been reading. I just started to make my own transfer off of my printer and my question is what kind of paper to get so you don't get that hard feel from the transfer? Do you know what I mean? I have put transfers on from another company and it is almost exactly like screen printing. The shirt is soft all around the inked images. Is this the paper that the transfer is on or does it professionally have to be done? Please help, It's driving me crazy! Thanks!
Cheryl

The transfer from the other company was probably a plastisol transfer, which is almost exactly like screen printing. You can't do it at home.

For the transfers you print from home off of your inkjet printer, read here for some suggestions and tips: http://www.t-shirtforums.com/tags/best-transfer-paper/
