Default film waterproof lining on transfers

Hi,

I have been using tshirt transfer paper from the local shop. When ironing the image onto the tshirt it leaves a waterproof film that is very visable.

Are there any types of heat transfer paper that don't do this and print only the ink onto the tshirt?

we are based in the UK.

thanks again!

Did you mean polymer around the image? Is the transfer made for dark fabric? The only process for light fabric that leaves only the ink is by sublimation which is very expensive because of the price of the ink and it requires high polyester content fabric.

The other alternative is using a self weeding heat transfer such as Imgeclip for inkjet or Imageclip for laser or custom plastisol heat transfer.

Here is what Imageclip for laser looks like:

Transfer paper needs no cutting?

The link below has topic about Imageclip for inkjet:
