I used the Laser 1 Opaque transfer paper for the first time. The image came out great, but it leaves a white background. The image has some intricate detail that makes it nearly impossible to cut around. Does the backing wash off? Is there anything I can do to get rid of the background from the paper?

That is just the nature of an opaque transfer made of synthetic film. The only option you have for intricate shape other an hand trimming is a vinyl cutter with optical registration sensor.

Sorry it won't wash off.

There is a self weeding opaque transfer called WOW 7.1. It is very expensive. Search the forum for more info.

Thanks, Luis. I guess I am just going to have to stick to plastisol transfer for dark shirts. I will look into the WOW as you have suggested.
